• 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
recommend the use of our KALSTOP FP 2003, a
special 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.
• Switching on the appliance, be sure that the button
for continuous steam jet has not been activated.
• 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 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 au-
thorized 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
refer 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 cen-
ter as the internal safety features may have been af-
fected.
• Never direct the jet of steam towards small particles
of debris without first protecting the user’s eyes.
• Do not force the cap open when the appliance is op-
erating.
• ATTENTION: if you iron sitting down, do not place
your legs under the ironing board, the steam can
cause burns.

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

1. Insert the cable stand (M) in its location (fig. 1).
2. Place the cable (iron power supply - steam tube) (E)
in its support (fig. 2). The appliance is also equipped
with a rigid iron rest (F) which can be removed and
put elsewhere as required.
3. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and fill the
boiler with about 1.3 litres of water using the spe-
cial funnel (I) making sure that it does not overflow
(fig. 3).
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.
4. Retighten the cap fully and carefully.
5. Connect the power supply cable (D) into an earthed
power supply of the correct voltage.
6. Switch on the boiler and iron by pressing the
switches (B) and (C) which will light up together with
the pressure indicator light (K).

7. 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.
When dry ironing, set the knob (G) to the required
temperature for the fabric, shown on the rotating in-
dicator.
8. Wait for the pressure indicator light (K) to go out
(about 15 minutes). Push button (H) on the iron to re-
lease bursts of steam from the holes on the sole-
plate. 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 soleplate until the temperature stabilises. It is ad-
visable to direct the first jets of steam onto an old
cloth until a uniform stable jet of steam is obtained.
9. In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the
button (J) forwards. Steam will keep on coming out,
even releasing the button. To interrupt the outlet,
move the button (J) backwards (fig. 7).
10.By turning the steam flow control knob (L) 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 turn-
ing in anti-clockwise direction. Turning the control in
a clockwise direction reduces the steam flow (fig. 8).

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 pro-
cedures when re-filling the tank.
Whenever when you have used up all the water in the
tank, do as follow :
1a. Switch off the machine at the generator on/off
switch (B).
2a. Press the steam request button on the iron (H) so
as to fully exhaust the steam supply from the tank.
3a. Disconnect the power supply cable (D) from the
mains.
4a. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety cap (A).
5a. Wait for a few minutes to allow the generator tank
to cool down.
6a. When cool proceed to carefully refill the tank as de-
scribed in paragraph 3 of the section “PREPARA-
TION FOR USE” in the instructions. If refilling the
generator when not completely cooled, we recom-
mend that you carefully pour only very small quanti-
ties 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. mash 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 (K) may go on and off
from time to time during use of Vaporella. This indi-
cates the machine maintaining the correct and con-
stant pressure and is quite normal.
• If no steam is released from the iron, check the fol-
lowing: the switch (K) is lit up; there is water in the
boiler; the steam control switch (L) is set to one of
the “Steam” settings.
• 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 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.

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 fol-
lows:
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.
