All Polti machines are equipped with the unique Polti patented safety cap, which prevents
opening of the generator tank as long as there is any pressure remaining inside the tank.
This is an important and indispensable safety device, and it is necessary to follow certain
procedures 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 described in paragraph 3 of the sec-
tion “PREPARATION FOR USE” in the instructions. If refilling the generator 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. 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 indicates the machine maintaining the correct and constant pressure
and is quite normal.
• If no steam is released from the iron, check the following: 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 because some internal malfunctionings might have occured, limiting the
safety of the product.
•
In the case of breakdown or malfunction do not attempt to repair the
appliance yourself but refer to your nearest authorised service centre.
