Dear Custumer
Thank you for your confidence in buying this Polti product for perfect ironing in less time.
Your Vaporella has been designed to ensure maximum ironing comfort; its quality materi-
als make it a reliable work-mate.
The powerful jet of Vaporella steam acts on the fabrics eliminating every crease.
Therefore it is not necessary to press on or iron repeatedly. Just let the iron slide over the
garment to obtain perfect ironing, saving time and effort.
With Vaporella it is possible to iron vertically to revive fabrics and take out bad smells from
jackets, clothes and overcoats.
Before using Vaporella, we recommend reading these instructions carefully.

steam. Danger of burns!
• Do not put any detergent or chemical sub-
stance 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
tank. In very hard water areas we recom-
mend the use of our KALSTOP FP 2003, a
special natural-base decalcifier which inhi-
bits and breaks down limescale. This is a
preventive against scale build-up and pro-
tects the metal walls of the boiler. KAL-
STOP is available from Polti dealers or
from your Polti Service Centre.
• 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
surfaces that allow the steam to escape
e.g. mesh ironing boards.
• For iron rest replacement use only original
spare parts.
• The iron must be used and rested on a sta-
ble surface.
• When placing the iron on its stand, make
sure that the surface on which the stand is
placed is stable.
• Check that the continuous steam request
button is switched off before connecting the
appliance to the mains.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
