•Before using your Vaporella carefully read these us-
age instructions.
•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 rec-
ommend the use of our KALSTOP FP 2003, a spe-
cial natural-base decalcifier which inhibits and
breaks down limescale, making it easy to remove
just by swilling out the tank with a little tapwater. This
is a preventive against scale build-up and protects
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 dis-
connect the appliance from the mains supply.
•Never empty Vaporella when the water inside the
generator tank is still hot.
•Do not place the appliance in water or in any other
liquids.
•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 instruc-
tions.
•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 au-
thorized by the manufacturer, as they may cause
damage or fire.
•Never direct the jet of steam towards small particles
of debris without first protecting the user’s eyes.
•Never place your hands inside the jet of steam. Dan-
ger of burns!
•Do not try to unscrew the safety cap when the appli-
ance is in use.
•In case of accidental fall of the appliance it is neces-
sary to have it checked by an authorized service cen-
ter as the internal safety features may have been af-
fected.

Before leaving our factory all our products are rig-
orously tested. However, your VAPORELLA may
contain some residual water in the boiler.

1a. Unscrew the patented safety cap (5) and fill the boiler
with about 0.9 litres of water using the special funnel
(9) making sure that it does not overflow (fig. 1).
Normal tapwater can be used. However, as hard wa-
ter by its nature contains limestone, which may
cause a build-up of limescale in the tank, in hard wa-
ter areas we recommend the use of our natural-base
decalcifier KALSTOP FP 2003.
2a. Retighten the cap fully and carefully. Ensure the
patented safety cap is fully and correctly screwed
on, otherwise you may experience steam escaping
from around the cap.
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
switches (2) and (3). The pressure indicator light (3b)
will light up (fig. 2).
NOTE: during the filling operation, be careful that the wa-
ter does not overflow as it may come out and wet the sur-
face where Vaporella is laid.

STEAM IRONING
1b. Set the iron temperature to the “COTTON - LINEN”
steam position (fig. 3), by turning the knob (1). All
types of fabric can be ironed at this temperature.
2b. Wait for the pressure indicator light (3b) and the “iron
heating” indicator light (3a) to go out (about 15 min-
utes). Push button (3) on the iron to release bursts of
steam from the holes on the soleplate. Release the
button and the steam will stop.
NOTE: during initial operation of the iron, a few drops of
water mixed with steam may come out of the soleplate
until the temperature stabilises. It is advisable to direct
the first jets of steam onto an old cloth until a uniform sta-
ble jet of steam is obtained.
DRY IRONING
1c. For dry ironing:
•Plug the cable in.
•Press the iron switch (4), leaving the boiler button off
(2).
•Adjust the soleplate temperature turning the knob (1)
setting to the temperature required according to the
type of fabric.

All Polti machines are equipped with the unique Polti
patented safety cap, which prevents opening of the gen-
erator 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 proce-
dures when re-filling the tank.
When you have used up all the water in the tank, do as
follows:
1d. Switch off the boiler 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. Switch the iron switch (4) off.
4d. Disconnect the power supply cable from the mains.
5d. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety cap (5).
6d. Wait for a few minutes to allow the generator tank to
cool down.
7d. 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 gen-
erator 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 pressure indicator light (3b) and the Iron heating
indicator light (3a) goes on and off during usage.
This means that the heating element is working cor-
rectly to keep a constant pressure in the boiler. This
ia a correct functioning, just continue ironing as nor-
mal.
•If no steam is released from the iron, check the fol-
lowing: the Iron heating indicator light (3a) is light 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 tech-
nician.
•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 replacement,
available from the appliance manufacturer, is obtained. 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
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 coloured
black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or
coloured red.
