• Before using your Vaporella carefully read these
usage instructions and keep them.
• Before connecting Vaporella to the mains make sure
that the current is the same as indicated for the ma-
chine and that the plug is an earthed plug.
• Do not put any detergent or chemical substance in
the tank.
Water by its nature contains magnesium, mineral
salts and other deposits which in hard water areas
can contribute to limescale build up in the tank. To
avoid these problems, it is necessary to swill out with
tapwater and empty the generator tank after every 3
or 4 uses.In very hard water areas we recommend
the use of our KALSTOP TP 2000, a special natu-
ral-base decalcifier which inhibits and breaks down li-
mescale, making it easy to remove just by swilling out
the tank with a little tapwater.
This is a preventive against scale build-up and pro-
tects the metal walls of the steam generator tank.
KALSTOP is available from Polti dealers or by mail-
order from your Polti Service Centre.
• Do not refill the tank while it is still hot, allow it to cool
down for a few minutes before refilling.
• During filling and refilling we recommend you to di-
sconnect the appliance from the mains supply.
• Never empty Vaporella when the water inside the ge-
nerator tank is still hot.
• Do not place the appliance in water or in any other li-
quids.
• Do not touch the appliance with wet hands or feet
whilst the appliance is connected to the mains.
• Never leave the appliance unattended whilst it is con-
nected to the mains.
• Do not allow Vaporella to be used by children or by

people who are not familiar with the usage instructions.
• We recommend that the appliance is disconnected
from the mains whenever it is not in use.
• When REfilling the generator tank, use HOT rather
than cold water, pour in gently at first and keep your
face away. Otherwise the still hot tank walls can spit
drops of very hot water or steam spray.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to wind or rain.
• Do not lay the hot appliance on surfaces sensitive to
heat.
• Do not use electric extension leads that are not
authorized by the manufacturer, as they may cause
damage or fire.
• In case of breakdown or malfunction switch off the
appliance and never attempt to disassemble it, but re-
fer to an authorized service center.
• In case of accidental fall of the appliance it is neces-
sary to have it checked by an authorized service center
as the internal safety features may have been affected.
• Never direct the jet of steam towards small particles
of debris without first protecting the user’s eyes.

Before leaving our factory all our products are ri-
gorously tested.
However, your VAPORELLA may contain some resi-
dual water in the boiler.

1a. Unscrew the patented safety cap (5) and fill the boi-
ler with about 0.8 litres of water using the special
funnel (10) making sure that it does not overflow
(fig. 1).
Normal tapwater can be used. However, as hard
water by its nature contains limestone, which may
cause a build-up of limescale in the tank, in hard
water areas we recommend the use of our natural-
base decalcifier KALSTOP TP 2000.
2a. Retighten the cap fully and carefully.
3a. Connect the power supply cable into an earthed
power supply of the correct voltage.
4a. Switch on the boiler and iron by pressing the swit-
ches (2) and (4) (fig. 2).

STEAM IRONING
1b. Set the iron temperature to the “COTTON - LINEN”
steam position (fig. 3), by turning the knob (1). For
steam ironing, all types of fabric can be ironed at
this temperature.
2b. Wait for the boiler illuminated switch (2) and the
“iron heating” indicator light (3a) to switch off
(about 15 minutes). Push button (3) on the iron to
release bursts of steam from the holes on the sole-
plate. 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 soleplate until the tempera-
ture stabilises. It is advisable to direct the
first jets of steam onto an old cloth until a
uniform stable jet of steam is obtained.
3b. By turning the steam flow control knob (6) you can
vary the amount of steam according to the type of
textile to be ironed (more or less delicate).
You can use this control to increase the steam flow
by turning in anti-clockwise direction. Turning the
control in a clockwise direction reduces the steam
flow (fig. 5).
DRY IRONING
1c. For dry ironing, connect the supply cable to the
mains, push the iron on/off switch (4), regulate the
temperature of the iron by turning the knob (1) to
the required temperature for the fabric shown on
the knob itself.

All Polti machines are equipped with the unique Polti pa-
tented safety cap, which prevents opening of the genera-
tor tank as long as there is any pressure remaining in-
side the tank. This is an important and indispensable
safety device, and it is necessary to follow certain pro-
cedures when re-filling the tank.
When you have used up all the water in the tank, do as
follows:
1d. Switch off the heater on/off switch (2).
2d. Press the steam request button on the iron (3) so
as to fully exhaust the steam
supply from the tank.
3d. Disconnect the power supply cable from the mains.
4d. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety cap (5).
5d. Wait for a few minutes to allow the generator tank
to cool down.
6d. When cool proceed to carefully refill the tank as de-
scribed in paragraph 1a of the section “PREPARA-
TION FOR USE” in the instructions. If refilling the ge-
nerator when not completely cooled, we
recommend that you carefully pour only very small
quantities of water at each pouring into the tank, so
as to avoid spitting from the tank.

• 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.
• Ensure the patented safety cap is fully and correctly
screwed on, otherwise you may experience steam
escaping from around the cap.
• The steam botton (2) may go on and off from time to
time during use of Vaporella. This indicates the ma-
chine maintaining the correct and constant pressure
and is quite normal.
• If no steam is released from the iron, check the fol-
lowing: the steam botton (3) is lit up; there is water in
the boiler.
• If repairs or replacement parts are required, and in
particular the special safety cap, use only original
Polti replacement 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.
•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 suita-
ble 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
This wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
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 con-
nected 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 colou-
red black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or colou-
red red.
