INFORMATION FOR USERS
Pursuant to European Directive 2012/19/EU,
regarding electric and electronic appliances,
this appliance must not be disposed of with
domestic waste, but sent to an official collec-
tion facility. This appliance complies with EU
Directive 2011/65/EU
The crossed-out bin symbol on the
appliance indicates that, at the end
of its useful lifespan, the product
must be disposed of separately from
other waste. Therefore, at the end of its life,
the user must handover the appliance to an
appropriate collection centre for electric and
electronic waste. Proper separate waste col-
lection to facilitate the subsequent recycling,
treatment and environmentally compatible
disposal of the appliance helps to prevent ne-
gative effects on the environment and human
health, and promotes recycling of the mate-
rials the product is made of. Unlawful disposal
by the owner involves the application of the
administrative sanctions envisaged by current
legislation.
Polti S.p.A. reserves the right to change
equipment or accessory specification without
prior notice.
Before leaving our factory all our products are
rigorously tested. This is the reason why your
VAPORELLA may contain some residual wa-
ter in the boiler.
WHICH WATER TO USE IN THE
BOILER
This appliance has been designed to function
with normal medium tap water between 8°F
and 20°F. If the tap water contains a lot of li-
mescale use a mix composed of 50% tap wa-
ter and 50% demineralised water which is wi-
dely available to purchase. Do not use pure
demineralised water.
Warning: check the hardness of the water at
the technical office at your local council or
the local water supplier.
If you only use tap water, you can reduce the
formation of limescale by using the special
Kalstop FP2003 decalcifying product, distri-
buted by Polti, and available for sale at all
major domestic-appliance stores or online at
www.polti.com.
Never use distilled water, rain water or water
containing additives (e.g. starch, perfumes),
or water produced by other domestic ap-
pliances, by water softeners or filter jugs.
Do not use chemical substances or detergents.
1. PREPARATION FOR USE
1.1 Place the boiler on a firm, flat and heat-resi-
stant surface.
1.2 Unscrew the safety cap (1) and fill the boi-
ler with 0.9 l of water (if completely empty),
making sure it does not overflow, using the
special funnel (2). Carefully screw the safety
cap back on, checking that it is completely
closed (3).
This operation must always be carried out
when the boiler has cooled and with the
power cable disconnected from the mains.
1.3 Connect the power cable to an appropriate
mains socket (4).
Completely unwind the power cable before
plugging it into the mains and before use, and
always use the appliance with the power ca-
ble completely unwound.
1.4 For dry ironing, press the ON / OFF (5)
switch and wait until the iron heating indicator
light turns off (8).
For steam ironing press the ON / OFF (5) swit-
ch and the boiler switch (6) and wait until the
steam ready light (7) of Vaporella and iron hea-
ting light (8) turn off.
WARNING:Never leave the filling bottle or
the funnel resting on the mouth of the boi-
ler, with the product connected to the
power supply, since this could cause burns.
WARNING: if steam is escaping from the sa-
fety cap, switch the appliance off and unplug
it from the mains. Wait for one hour for the
appliance to cool before unscrewing the cap
and screwing it back on.
