6. OUT OF WATER
The water level is always visible thanks to the transparent tank
(10).
When the water in the tank has been used up, a prolonged noise
will be heard from the self-filling system pump and the steam
will stop flowing. To resume use, simply:
- switch off and disconnect the Vaporella.
- fill the tank as described in Chapter 1.
- connect and turn the Vaporella back on.
7. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance on the device, always
unplug it from the power mains making sure that the product
has cooled down before proceeding.
To clean the outside of the appliance, only use a damp cloth.
Do not use detergents of any type.
For good maintenance of the boiler we suggest using Kalstop,
the special natural-base limescale, distributed by Polti, and
available for sale at all major domestic-appliance stores or
online at www.polti.com.
Clean the iron soleplate when it is completely cold with a damp
cloth or with a non-abrasive sponge.
8. KALSTOP
Kalstop is the limescale product for appliances with boiler for
ironing and steam cleaning.
Regular use of Kalstop, every time the tank is filled with water:
- Extends the life of the appliance.
- Allows emission of a “drier” steam
- Prevents limescale build up.
- Protects the walls of the boiler.
- Contributes to saving energy.
HOW TO USE KALSTOP
8.1 Dilute one phial in 5 litres of water before putting it in the
tank.
8.2 Fill the tank as described in Chapter 1.
8.3 Start ironing the garments.
EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE WITH KALSTOP
When the boiler has heavy limescale build-up, leave just 250
ml of water in the boiler, add 3 doses of Kalstop, pressurize the
boiler and press the steam control button until the steam stops.
Turn off the appliance, wait at least 2h until it is completely cool,
rinse the boiler repeatedly to remove all limescale residue. After
cleaning the boiler, proceed normally.
Kalstop is sold in packages of 20 phials at household appliance
stores, at Polti authorized service centres and at www.polti.com.
