Before leaving our factory all our products are
rigorously tested.
However, your VAPORELLA may contain some
residual water in the boiler from the factory tests.

•Remove the self-refilling tank cap (1) (Fig. 1) and fill
the tank with 500 cc of water, making sure it does not
overflow. Close the cap.
Water by its nature contains magnesium and mineral
salts which form into limescale. To avoid this residue
causing problems to your unit, we recommend that
you always use this special jug KalFilter with anti-limes-
cale filter, which is provided with your appliance.
Thanks to its special filter made up with a mixture of
two resins, this jug is the ideal solution to the problem
of limescale allowing you to change water straight
from the tap into water that is demineralized and sili-
con-free. In this way you can prevent the incrustations
and protect the components of your unit.
Constant use of the jug extends the life to your appli-
ance and you will always have at your disposal a clean
jet of steam
To use the jug correctly, please read carefully the
instructions provided with the jug.
•Fit the flex holder (13) to the appliance. Place the
combined steam iron flex (8) into the support (fig. 2).
•Connect the cable plug to an earthed power supply of
the correct voltage.
•Press the illuminated ON/OFF switch (2); the steam
pressure indicator (5) and the “iron heating” indicator
light (10a) will light up.
•The sound emitted on switching on your appliance and
periodically during use, is due to the water refilling sy-
stem and is quite normal.
•During use you may hear some gurgling due to the
backflow of hot water into the tank saving energy
(water preheating in the tank). This is quite normal and
you can carry on ironing. To reduce the gurgling we
recommend to replenish before the water has been
used up.
•At first steam request, or about 2 minutes after the
last request, you will experince a delay in steam
delivery because steam inside the heat exchanger is
excessively rarefied. This is normal and no longer
happens once the equipment has been used a number
of times. Press the steam release switch (10) for
some seconds till steam is released.

STEAM IRONING
•Set the iron temperature to the “COTTON - LINEN”
steam position (fig. 3), by turning the knob (7). For
steam ironing (but not dry ironing) all types of fabric
can be ironed at this temperature.
•Wait for the steam pressure indicator light (5) and the
“iron heating” indicator light (10a) to go off (about 3
minutes). Steam release switch (10) on the iron to re-
lease bursts of steam from the holes on the soleplate.
Release the button and the steam will stop (fig. 4).
NOTE: during initial operation of the iron, a few drops
of water mixed with steam may come out of the sole-
plate until the temperature stabilises. It is advisable to
direct the first jets of steam onto an old cloth until a
uniform stable jet of steam is obtained.
•By turning the steam flow control knob (6) you can
vary the amount of steam according to the type of te-
xile to be ironed (more or less delicate). You can use
this control to increase the steam flow by turning in
clockwise direction. Turning the control in an anti-
clockwise direction reduces the steam flow (fig. 5).
We suggest the maximum emission for heavy textiles
like jeans and linen, medium for cotton, minimum for
light delicate textiles.
DRY IRONING: For DRY ironing (without steam), adjust
the temperature by turning the knob (7), setting it to the
temperature required for the fabric, as shown on the ro-
tating indicator. When dry ironing, be careful NOT TO
PRESS THE STEAM RELEASE BUTTON (10) on top of
the iron, otherwise water may leak from the soleplate of
the iron.

It is necessary to refill the feeder tank with water before
it becomes empty.
If, on pressing the steam request button, no steam comes

•Do not leave the iron unattended whilst connected to
the mains.
•Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on surfaces
that allow the steam to escape e. g. mesh ironing
boards.
•The lights (5) and (10a) go on and off during opera-
tion, this is perfectly normal, indicating that the elec-
tric resistances are operating to maintain the New
Concept system at a constant temperature and is
quite normal.
•If no steam is released from the iron, check that the
switch (5) is lit up.
•If repairs or spare parts are required, use only original
Polti spare parts.
•The appliance is fitted with a safety thermostat, which
should only be replaced by an authorised technician.
•If it is necessary to replace the power supply cable,
please refer to the nearest Polti authorised service
centre, since the use of a special tool is necessary.
•If you accidentally drop your iron, you should have it
checked by an authorized Polti Service Centre be-
cause some internal malfunctionings might have oc-
cured, limiting the safety of the product.
•In the case of breakdown or malfunction do not
attempt to repair the appliance yourself but re-
fer to your nearest authorised service centre.

This unit is designed to operate on 240V, 50 Hz current
only. Connecting it to other power sources may damage
the unit.
WARNING - This appliance must be earthed.
This appliance may be fitted with a non rewirable plug, if
it is necessary to change the fuse in a non rewirable plug
the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost
or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replace-
ment, available from the appliance manufacturer, is ob-
tained. It is important that the colour of the replacement
fuse cover corresponds with the colour marking on the
base of the plug.
If the plug requires to be changed because it is not suit-
able for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring
instruction (below). The plug removed must be disposed
of safely as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause
an electrical hazard.
IMPORTANT

with the following code.
• Green-and-yellow: Earth
• Blue: Neutral
• Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains leads of this ap-
pliance may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter “E” or by the earth symbol or green-and-
yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or
coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or
