Required Tools:

• Screwdriver set (Phillips and flathead, as required by your appliance model)
• Pliers (optional, for hose clamps)
• Clean cloth

Installation Steps:

1. Preparation: Ensure the appliance is unplugged and completely cool. Drain all water from the boiler and water tank.
2. Access Internal Components: Carefully open the appliance casing to access the boiler and the existing water level sensor. This usually involves removing screws from the bottom or back panel. Refer to your main appliance manual for specific instructions on opening the casing.
3. Identify Existing Sensor: Locate the current water level sensor rod and its connection point to the boiler. It is typically a rod extending into the boiler.
4. Disconnect Old Sensor (if applicable): If replacing an existing sensor, carefully disconnect any electrical wiring and unscrew or unclip the old sensor rod from its housing. Note the orientation and connection points for reassembly.
5. Install New Sensor Rod: Insert the new water level sensor rod into the designated opening on the boiler. Ensure it is securely fastened, either by screwing it in or clipping it into place, depending on the design.
6. Connect Wiring: Attach the electrical wiring from the connection kit to the new sensor rod and the appliance's control board, following the original connections. Ensure all connections are firm and correct.
7. Secure Connections: Double-check all connections for tightness and proper seating. Ensure no wires are pinched or obstructing the casing.
8. Reassemble Appliance: Carefully reassemble the appliance casing, ensuring all screws are tightened and panels are securely in place.
9. Initial Test: Fill the water tank with the appropriate amount of water. Plug in the appliance and turn it on. Observe the water level indicator to ensure it functions correctly. Allow the appliance to heat up and check for any leaks or unusual operation.

If the water level indicator does not function as expected after installation, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

5. Operating Principle

The water level sensor kit is a critical component that monitors the water level inside the boiler of your Polti Vaporetto Lecoaspira steam generator. It works by detecting the presence or absence of water at specific points, sending signals to the appliance's control system. This ensures that the boiler is adequately filled for steam generation and prevents the appliance from operating when water levels are too low, protecting the heating element from damage and ensuring user safety.

6. Maintenance

The water level sensor itself requires minimal maintenance. However, to ensure its longevity and accurate operation:

• Regular Descaling: Follow the descaling procedures outlined in your main Polti Vaporetto Lecoaspira manual. Limescale buildup can affect the sensor's accuracy.
• Cleanliness: During routine maintenance or when the appliance is open for other repairs, gently wipe the sensor rod with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue. Ensure the appliance is unplugged and cool before cleaning.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the sensor rod and its connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Replace the kit if any damage is observed.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after installing the water level sensor kit, consider the following:
