BASIC PRINCIPLES
The operating principle of MONDIALVAP 5000 is conceived for cleaning various types of surfaces
with the simple use of steam at high exit pressure and, if required, mixed with a jet of water/
detergent. The cleaning action takes place thanks to the coexistence of 3 important factors:
volume, temperature, humidity. The volume determines the impact of the fluid with the surface to
be treated, mechanically takes off and removes the dirt in the same way as an imaginary blade,
but without scratching the treated areas. The temperature is an important steam component, in
fact it has a double role: it melts the dirt to make suction easier and disinfects the surfaces. The
steam humidity, when in contact with dirt, makes it soft by changing the principal physical
characteristics of consistency, hardness and adhesion. To further increase the power of Mondialvap
5000, it is possible to mix cold water to the steam temperature thus obtaining a strong mechanical
action with a small dose. Steam condensation, dirt and water are collected by sucking them into a
suitable container. The appliance is equipped with a special suction device which allows you to suck
up the dirt and condensation created by the steam. The unit allows you to vacuum up to 8 litres of
non-foamy liquid substances. The machine is equipped with 3 filters: water, polyester and coil, which
stop the sucked up dirt. The sucked up dirt is filtered through the water in the dirt containers and
the sucked up air is 100% cleaned in the water before being re-emitted into the air.

HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE
F O R D R Y A N D L I Q U I D VA C U U M I N G
Mondialvap 5000 is equipped with three special filtering systems: the water in the reservoir, the
coil filter and the internal polyester filter, which guarantee that the air re-emitted into the
environment is without microdusts.
During operation, you can vacuum clean either dust or liquids.
If some liquids are sucked up, it will not be necessary to fill the dirt container with water. In this
way you can vacuum clean a bigger amount of liquid. If you have to suck up solids, fill the dirt
container as indicated in the "Preparation of the appliance" paragraph. When the vacuumed
material in the container reaches the maximum level allowed, suction is automatically shut off by
means of the safety floater. The user will be aware of this by an increase in motor revolutions.

H O W T O E M P T Y T H E D I R T C O N TA I N E R
• Switch off the appliance by the mains supply switch (1) and the
starter switch (2) and disconnect it from the mains.
• Disconnect the steam+suction hose from the upper body, as
described in the previous paragraph.
• Unhook the 2 locking levers (27), lift the dirt container cover (15)
by turning it (fig.2) and gently lean it to the body of the appliance.
• Remove the coil filter (31) lifting it upwards and rinse it with water
(fig.9).
• Remove the dirt container from the appliance by using its handles
(29) (fig.10), empty the container and rinse it.
• Put the coil filter back in its place by inserting it in its tracks (fig.9).
• To vacuum clean solids, restore the water level. In case you have
to vacuum clean liquids, it will not be necessary to fill the
container.

To move the machine, use the two handles (18) on the upper side of the body. At the end of
operations or even during the working phase, the hose can be placed on its support (21).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Apart from the two security systems (pressostat and safety valve) there is also a thermostat (which
is manually re-armable) which will intervene to protect the machine in case of any electrical
malfunction. The rearming of the thermostat can only be done by a Polti Authorised Service Centre.
The switches for the electrovalve for steam output and for the detergent pump are both low voltage
(12V).

S T E A M R E G U L AT I O N F E AT U R E
MONDIALVAP 5000 is equipped with a steam regulator control (8). You can use this control to
increase the steam flow by turning it in an anti-clockwise direction. Turning the control in a
clockwise direction reduces the steam flow.
Page 10

ENGLISH

"7 BAR" SUPER STEAM
To clean very encrusted surfaces, you can use super steam: by pushing the switch (7), the steam
will go from 500 KpA to 700 KpA, obtaining much higher cleaning power. If you are using
Mondialvap 5000 at 500 KpA and you want to change to 700 KpA, it will be necessary to stop
the steam output for a few minutes so that to allow the pressure in the generator to settle.

S U C T I O N R E G U L AT I O N
The suction power control knob (9) allows to vary the suction power according to the surfaces to
be cleaned. By turning the knob anti-clockwise, the suction power will increase.

PRESSURE GAUGE
MONDIALVAP 5000 is equipped with a handy and precise visual pressure level gauge (6).

SAFETY SYSTEM
The materials the appliance is made of are of excellent quality and suitable to support mechanical
and thermic stress without changing their physical characteristics. Different intervention levels of
the devices help to further enhance the safety level of the appliance.

CONNECTION OF ACCESSORIES
Move the connector button (73) on the accessory to the “open” position. Attach the required tool
to the hand gun. Move the connector button (73) back to the position “closed”. Check that the
connector button has engaged and the accessory is fully connected.

PIVOTING WHEELS

Fig. 11

The machine has 4 pivoting wheels. The rear wheels have a brake so
that the machine can be stopped even on sloping surfaces. To insert
the brake, push the STOP lever with your foot (fig.11). To unlock it,
lift the same lever.

TIPS FOR BETTER UNIT PERFORMANCE
- For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fabrics especially dralon, velvet and other pile surfaces,
consult the manufacturers instructions. Clean only by using the hand gun at a safe distance
together with a soft cloth and always do a test on a non visible part of the item first or on a
sample. Allow the test area to dry completely before observing results and effects on surface
or colour before proceeding to clean further areas, ensuring that exactly the same distance and
technique are applied as for the test area.
- For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.) take great care as too long an application of
the steam could alter the waxed appearance, the shine or the colour of the surfaces cleaned.
We therefore recommend you apply the steam on such surfaces only for brief periods or to clean
these surfaces using a cloth first held in the steam.
- On delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces etc.) we recommend that the
small brush should always be covered with a cloth (15).
- If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low temperatures preheat the glass using the hand gun
(35b) from about 50 centimetres distance from the surface to be cleaned.
- For the care of your plants vaporise at a minimum distance of 50 centimetres.

THE STEAM KIT, WHICH CAN BE BOUGHT SEPARATELY,
INCLUDES THE BELOW LISTED ACCESSORIES

STEAM GUN (35b)

(Optional)

The steam gun can be used directly on all spots requiring a stronger, closer treatment without
connecting the brushes. The more resistant the stain, the closer you should hold the gun; the
steam pressure and temperature being higher at the source. You should however always wipe
with a dry cloth or a slightly abrasive sponge if the stain is a difficult one to remove after using
the gun.
The steam gun (35) is particularly efficient at:
- breaking down rug and carpet stains before they are treated with the large brush.
- cleaning stainless steel surfaces, panes, mirrors, enamelled surfaces.
- cleaning hard-to-reach corners, such as stairs, window sills, door posts, aluminium outlines.
- cleaning tap bases.
- cleaning windows shutters, heaters, car interiors.
- spraying plants from a distance.
- removing odours and creases from clothes.
To reach higher points, the steam gun (35) can be connected to one or both extension tubes (64).

EXTENSION TUBES (64)

(Optional)

These tubes are used every time you have to reach distant surfaces such as walls or ceilings.

MOP BRUSH (65)

(Optional)

The MOP brush is ideal for cleaning all washable surfaces; thanks to its special cardan joint, it
easily reaches even those less accessible floor areas.
How to apply the microfibre cloth frame: position the Mop brush on the microfibre cloth frame,
making the three fixed hooks on the frame match with the three seats on the edge of the brush.
Push downwards until the frame is hooked to the brush through the three lever hooks.
Place the microfibre cloth on the frame making the velcro correspond.
To unhook the microfibre cloth frame, hold the brush by the joint and pull it upwards, unhooking
two lever hooks at the same time and then the third one until the brush is separated from the
frame.
To clean floors, use the special microfibre cloth frame with velcro swinging back and forth without
applying any pressure.
Use the brush without frame on particularly dirty or encrusted areas and in spaces between the
tiles: swing the brush sideways to detach the dirt. For highly obstinate stains and corners, the
Mop brush can be directly connected to the steam gun for more cleaning power.
Mondialvap is ideal for both synthetic and wool rugs as well as for all types of carpets.
Its use will ensure total hygiene, revive colours and restore the original brillance of the pile.
The treatment can be repeated as frequently as you wish, with no damage whatsoever.
Drying occurs practically at once.
Page 14

ENGLISH

LONG STEAM LANCE (66)

(Optional)

This accessory allows you to reach the most inaccessible places. Ideal for cleaning large radiators
or shutters etc.

SMALL BRUSH (67)

(Optional)

The small brush (67) is designed to perform the same operation as the large brush, only on smaller
surfaces. It can be connected to the steam gun (35b) with one or two extension tubes (64). The
small brush is suitable for:
- upholstery fabrics (resistance and colour fastness should be tested previously on a hidden piece
of fabric, allowed to dry and results evaluated).
- velvets and leather (from a distance).
- car interiors, windshields.
- small glass surfaces, tiled surfaces.
When cleaning wood surfaces (doors, floors, etc) do not use naked steam, but cover the brush
(large 65 or small 67) with a cotton cloth folded into a number of thicknesses.
For cleaning furniture spray the steam onto a dry cotton cloth then wipe with the cloth.
The warm moist cloth will pick up dirt and static, so that the furniture remains cleaner longer thanks
to the absence of sticky film from chemical cleaning products.

120° STEAM NOZZLE (68)

(Optional)

The 120° nozzle (which can be connected directly to the gun (35b) or together with the extension
tubes) allows you to concentrate a powerful jet of steam to otherwise inaccessible locations, such
as radiators, door posts, sills and shutters, as well as for sterilising toilet bowls.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Fig. 12

Before attempting any maintenance operation, be sure to always
disconnect the appliance from the mains.
C l e a n i n g o r re p l a c i n g t h e p l e a t e d f i l t e r
Unhook the two closing levers (27), lift the cover (15) by turning it
(fig.2) and gently lean it to the body. Unscrew the 4 wheels which are
under the cover by using a coin (fig. 12), take out the pleated filter
(32) from its storage department and clean it with a hard bristle
brush. If the filter is still not clean, rinse it with water and leave it to
dry (fig.13). If the filter is damaged, replace it so as not to
compromise the performance of the machine. To go on working, put

PRECAUTIONS
• Check that the container is full of water.
• Check that the water/detergent reservoir is full and connected (tube securely fastened and
electrical connector well in its place).

TIPS FOR BETTER UNIT PERFORMANCE
• For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fabrics especially dralon, velvet and other pile surfaces,
consult the manufacturers instructions. Clean only by using the hand gun at a safe distance
together with a soft cloth and always do a test on a non visible part of the item first or on a
sample. Allow the test area to dry completely before observing results and observe effects on
surface or colour before proceeding to clean further areas, ensuring that exactly the same
distance and technique are applied as for the test area.
• For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.) take great care as too long an application
of the steam could alter the waxed appearance, the shine or the colour of the surfaces cleaned.
We therefore recommend you apply the steam on such surfaces only for brief periods or to
clean these surfaces using a cloth first held in the steam.
• On delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces etc.) we recommend that
the small brush should always be covered with a cloth.
• If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low temperatures preheat the glass using the hand gun
from about 50 centimetres distance from the surface to be cleaned.
• For the care of your plants vaporise at a minimum distance of 50 centimetres.
