Dear Customer,
thank you for the confidence you have placed in Polti buying this product.
Vaporella Advanced System is an ironing system designed for domestic use; its
ironing board is provided with a heated suction and blowing surface in order to
obtain at home professional ironing results.
Vaporella allows you to achieve perfect ironing, saving time and effort. With pro-
fessional iron it is not necessary to press or iron over repeatedly but just let the
iron slide gently over the fabric. Due to its pressure, Vaporella’s steam penetrates
into the fibres of the fabric clearing any creases at its first pass. The steam pow-
er is so strong that you can even iron more than one side of a fabric at a time
(making ironing sheets for example many times faster)
The ironing board has a sturdy and solid metal structure, an easy height adjust-
ment device and a broad working surface, providing the perfect complement to
the irons powerful steam. The heating function dries the fabrics and makes the
ironing easier, faster and effortless. The suction keeps the fabric sticked to the
board, preventing the formation of creases which rise up easily with other ironing
boards. The airing function inflate delicate fabrics so that it is possible to iron over
with steam power only.
Vaporella Advanced System helps you to work safely. This product conforms with
very strict regulations. Moreover, Vaporella is easy to use and has an unlimited
operating time.
Please read these usage instruction carefully before using this product, we hope
you enjoy using your Vaporella!

1a. Rest the board on the floor.
2a. To open the ironing board, just pull the ironing surface
upwards keeping a foot on Vaporella side leg of the
board until locking takes place (fig. A).
To adjust height, unfasten the lever (O) and move the
board upwards or downwards.
NOTE: Because of the weight of the ironing surface,
during closing and height adjustment hold the board
with both hands.
3a. Insert the flex holder (M) in its location (fig. 1).
4a. Place the cable (iron power supply - steam tube) (E) in
its support (fig. 2).
5a. Unscrew the tank cap (A) and fill the tank with approx.
800 cc. water, preventing overflowing, then screw the
cap on again.
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 limes-
cale allowing you to change water straight from the tap
into water that is demineralized and silicon-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 this item.
6a. Connect the power supply cable (D) into an earthed
power supply of the correct voltage.
7a. Press the main switch (B); the steam pressure indica-
tor (K) and the “iron heating” indicator light (J1) will light
up (fig. 4).
8a. To operate the board, turn the main switch (C) on. In
this way the board heater will start operation.
Wait a few minutes to allow the heater to reach work-
ing temperature.
It is now possible to activate blowing and suction fea-
tures:

9a. BLOWING: By pushing the function switch (P) on posi-
tion (I), the board will allow you to swell the clothes with
a “hot blow”, in order to be able to gently skim with the
iron the most delicate clothes, ironing them with steam
only.
10a.SUCTION: By pushing the function switch (P) on posi-
tion (II), the board will hold the clothes to the surface
and eliminate the residual humidity.
Note: to avoid condensation inside the ironing board we recommend you always use
the suction function while steam ironing.
The sound emitted on switching on your appliance and periodically during use, is due
to the water refilling system 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 (H) for some seconds till steam is
released.

STEAM IRONING
1b. Set the iron temperature to the “COTTON - LINEN”
steam position (fig. 5), by turning the knob (G). All types
of fabric can be ironed at this temperature.
2b. Wait for the steam pressure indicator light (K) and the
“iron heating” indicator light (J1) to switch off (about 3
minutes). Push button (H) on the iron to release bursts
of steam from the holes on the soleplate. Release the
button and the steam will stop (fig. 6).
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 uni-
form stable jet of steam is obtained.

ton (J) forwards. Steam will keep on coming out, even
releasing the button (H). To interrupt the outlet, move the
button (J) backwards (fig. 7).
DRY IRONING
1c. For DRY ironing (without steam), adjust the temperature by turning the knob (G), set-
ting it to the temperature required for the fabric, as shown on the rotating indicator.
When dry ironing, be careful NOT TO PRESS THE STEAM RELEASE BUTTON (H) on

It is necessary to refill the feeder tank with water before it
becomes empty.
If no steam is released when requested, and at the same
time a higher-pitched noise is heard from the pump, this sig-
nifies that the tank is out of water.
To keep on working, simply restore the water level in the feed-
er tank as described in the “Preparation for use” paragraph.
