power switch and disconnected from the mains for at least
two hours.
• This appliance can be used by children over 8 years old, by peo-
ple with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or by inex-
perienced persons only where they are instructed in advance on
its safe use and only if informed of the dangers related to the
product. Children must not play with the appliance. The cleaning

• Keep all the parts of the packaging out of the reach of chil-
dren; they are not toys. Keep the plastic bag out of the reach

cuit breaker, complete with magnetothermic cut-out for your
domestic system, guarantee safe use of electrical appliances.

stem to which the appliance is connected complies with cur-
rent laws.
• Do not connect the appliance to the mains if the voltage does
not correspond with that of the domestic electrical circuit in

• Do not overload the sockets with adaptors and/or transfor-
mers. Only connect the product to a single socket with cur-
rent that is compatible with the supplied plug.

VT HANDY 15 - M0S11269 - 1P07:FEV 1000-950.qxd 31/07/2015 10.58 Pagina 21

• Electrical extension leads that are unsuitable for the power ra-
ting or which are not compliant with law. They may overheat
and possibly lead to short circuiting, fire, power outage or da-
mage to the equipment. Only use extension leads which are
certified, suitable for the power rating, supporting 16A and
earthed.
• Always turn the appliance off at the ON/OFF switch before
unplugging it.
• To remove the plug from the socket, do not pull the power ca-
ble, but hold the plug itself to avoid damage to the plug and
the cable.
• Always unplug the appliance if it is not in use and before any
preparation, maintenance or cleaning operation.
• The appliance must not be left unattended if plugged in to
the mains.
• Fully unwind the cable from the cable winder before connec-
ting the appliance to the mains and before use. Always use
the product with the cable completely unwound
• Do not pull or jerk the cable or expose it to tensions (twisting,
crushing or stretching). Keep the cable away from hot and/or
sharp surfaces and elements. Avoid crushing the cables in
doors and windows. Do not pull the cable tight around cor-
ners. Avoid treading on the cable. Do not pass over the cable
with the appliance. Do not wind the power cable around the
appliance, especially if the appliance is hot.
• Do not substitute the plug on the power cable.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid all possible hazards. Do not use the product if the
power cable is damaged.
• Do not touch or use the appliance barefoot and/or with wet
body or feet.
• Do not use the appliance near containers full of water, e.g.
sinks, baths and swimming pools.

plug, in water or other liquids.
• Steam must not be directed towards equipment containing
electric or electronic components.
RISKS DURING USE OF THE PRODUCT – INJURIES/SCALDING
• The product should not be used in areas where there is a dan-
ger of explosions or in the presence of toxic substances.
• Do not pour toxic substances, acids, solvents, detergents,
corrosive substances and/or explosives or perfumes into the
boiler.
• Only pour water or the water mix indicated in the Chapter
“WHICH WATER TO USE” into the boiler.
• Do not direct the steam jet onto toxic substances, acids, sol-
vents, detergents or corrosive substances. The handling and
removal of dangerous substances must be carried out accor-
ding to the indications of the manufacturers of these substan-
ces.
• Do not direct the steam jet onto explosive powders or liquids,
hydrocarbons, open flames and or extremely hot objects.
• Do not position the product near sources of heat such as fire-
places, stoves and ovens.
• Do not obstruct the openings and grills on the product.
• Do not direct the steam jet on any part of the body of people
or animals.
• Do not direct the steam jet on clothes while they are being
worn.
• Cloths and rags and fabrics which have been subjected to a
deep steam reach very high temperatures, above 100°C. Wait
a few minutes and check that they have cooled before hand-
ling them. Therefore, avoid contact with the skin if they have
just been steamed.
• The steam lock on the handle guarantees greater safety, as it
prevents the accidental activation of steam delivery by chil-
dren or people who are unaware of the function of the ap-
ENGLISH

VT HANDY 15 - M0S11269 - 1P07:FEV 1000-950.qxd 31/07/2015 10.58 Pagina 23

pliance. When steam is not being used, engage the steam lock.
To continue steam delivery, return the switch to its original
position.
• Always use the appliance with the safety cap supplied or an
original replacement part. Using non-original Polti safety caps
can lead to accidents.
• When accessing the pressurised boiler (removing the cap, fil-
ling up), ensure that the appliance has been switched off at
the power switch and disconnected from the mains for at
least two hour, allowing it to cool. There is a risk of accidents
while the boiler is a switched on/hot and pressurised.
• Do not connect the appliance with the safety cap removed.
Carefully tighten the safety cap before plugging in and tur-
ning on the appliance.
• Before turning on the appliance, check that there is nothing
blocking the mouth of the boiler (filler bottle, funnel, or other
objects), and that the safety cap is closed.
• Check that the safety cap is correctly tightened; if steam is
escaping from the cap, switch off the boiler, unplug the
power cable, wait for two hour for the appliance to cool, and
then unscrew. Check the condition of the safety cap and seal.
If the cap is in good condition, screw it back on completely. If
steam continues to escape from the cap, take the appliance
to the nearest authorised service centre.
• Periodically check the condition of the safety cap and seal.
Impact and being dropped may compromise the safety of the
cap. Replace with an original spare part or replace the seal.
• If the cap spins freely, this indicates that the boiler is still pres-
surised and therefore hot. Never force the cap open, whether
the appliance is switched on or the boiler is switched off and
the appliance is disconnected from the mains. Always wait for
the boiler to cool, opening the cap without force.
• Do not use tools to unscrew the cap. If the cap cannot be re-
moved, even once the appliance has cooled, go to your nea-
rest authorised service centre.
