• It is necessary to keep the unit in horizontal posi­tion during operation.

• Do not direct the steam jet on electrical appli­ances.

• Let the appliance cool down before cleaning it.

• Before storing the appliance make sure that it
has completely cooled down.

• This appliances is equipped with safety devices
which are to be replaced only by a suitably quali­fied technician.

• Do not direct the steam jet at people, animals or
debris. Danger of burns!

• Never place your hands inside the jet of steam.

Danger of burns!

• When Refilling the boiler, pour in gently at first
and keep your face away. Otherwise the still hot
boiler walls can spit drops of very hot water or
steam spray.

• Do not put any detergent or chemical substance
in the boiler. Water by its nature contains magne­sium, mineral salts and other deposits which in
hard water areas can contribute to limescale
build up in the boiler. To avoid these problems, it
is necessary to swill out with tapwater and empty
the boiler after every 3 or 4 uses.In very hard wa­ter areas we recommend the use of our
KALSTOP FP 2003, a special natural-base de­calcifier which inhibits and breaks down
limescale, making it easy to remove just by swill­ing out the boiler with a little tapwater. This is a
preventive against scale build-up and protects
the metal walls of the boiler. KALSTOP is avail­able from Polti dealers or by mail-order from your
Polti Service Centre.

• Make sure the patented safety cap is fully and
correctly screwed on, otherwise you may experi­ence steam escaping from the cap.

• Do not refill the boiler while it is still hot, let it cool
down for a few minutes before refilling.

• Do not empy the appliance when the water in the
boiler is still hot.

• Do not open the safety cap while the appliance is
in use.

• The iron must be used and rested on a stable
surface

• When placing the iron on its stand, make sure
that the surface on which the stand is placed is
stable.

• Check periodically the safety cap and the related
gasket, replace them with original spare parts if
necessary.

• If you iron sitting down, do not place your legs un­der the ironing board, the steam can cause
burns.

• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on sur-

faces that allow the steam to escape e.g. mesh
ironing boards.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, senso­ry or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given su­pervision or instruction concerning use of the ap­pliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.

1a. Unscrew the patented safety cap (5) and fill the

boiler with about 0.9 litres of water using the
special funnel (9) making sure that it does not
overflow (fig. 1).
Normal tapwater can be used. However, as wa­ter by its nature contains limestone, which may
cause build-up of limescale in the boiler, in hard
water areas we recommend the use of our nat­ural-base decalcifier Kalstop FP 2003.

2a. Screw the cap fully and carefully. Make sure the

patented safety cap (5) is fully and correctly
screwed on, otherwise you may experience
steam escaping from the cap.

3a. Connect the power cable into an earthed power

supply of the correct voltage.

4a. Switch on the boiler and iron by pressing the

switches (2) and (4) (fig. 2).

NOTE: during the filling operation, be careful that
the water does not overflow as it may come out and
wet the surface where Vaporella is laid.

WARNING: Do NOT under any circumstances put
or leave the funnel in the water filling aperture of
the appliance when the appliance is connected to

Your Vaporella is equipped with a patented safety
cap, which prevents opening of the boiler as long as
there is any pressure remaining inside. This is an
important and indispensable safety device, and it is
necessary to follow certain procedures when re-fill­ing the boiler.
When no more water comes out of the iron, pro­ceed as follows:
1d. Switch off the boiler (2).
2d Press the steam request button on the iron (3)

so as to fully exhaust the steam supply from
the boiler.

3d. Switch off the iron (4) .
4d. Disconnect the power cable from the mains.
5d. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety cap

(5).

6d. Wait for a few minutes allowing the boiler to

cool down.

7d. When cool, carefully refill the boiler as de-

scribed in paragraph 1a of the section “PREPA­RATION FOR USE”. If you refill the boiler when
not completely cooled, we recommend to pour
only very small quantities of water, so as to
avoid its immediate evaporation.

• Before attempting any maintenance opera­tion, always disconnect the appliance from
the mains.

• To clean the body of the appliance, simply use a
moist cloth. Do not use solvents or detergents
which may harm the body material.

• Rinse the boiler every 2 months with clear water,
the washing traces will be brown, showing the
proper functioning of the decalcifier. In case of
very encrusted boiler, proceed in the following
way: leave only 0,5 liter water in the boiler, add 5
KALSTOP FP2003 doses; when the boiler is un­der pressure, press the steam request button un­til the steam is exhausted; rinse the boiler to elim­inate all limescale residues. When the boiler is
clean, proceed as normal.
