ENGLISH
KALSTOP
Water by its nature contains magnesium, mi-
neral salts and other deposits which in hard
water areas can contribute to limescale build
up in the tank. In very hard water areas we re-
commend the use of our Kalstop FP2003, a
special natural-base decalcifier which inhibits
and breaks down limescale. This is a preven-
tive against scale build-up and protects the
metal walls of the boiler. Kalstop FP2003 can
be found in small appliance stores, Polti ser-
vice centres and on the web site
www.polti.com
CARE OF YOUR VAPORELLA
•
Before attempting any maintenance
operation, always disconnect the ap-
pliance from the mains.
• To clean the body of the appliance, simply
use a moist cloth. Do not use solvents or
detergents which may harm the body mate-
rial.
CLEANING THE BOILER
ATTENTION - Risk of burns!
Make sure that the boiler is cold and has
been disconnected from the mains for at
least 2 hours.
• To maintain optimum performance, clean
the boiler every 10/20 uses depending on
the amount of limestone in the water.
• Disconnect the appliance and let it cool
down for at least 2 hours.
• Empty the water tank to prevent leakage.
• Turn the appliance upside-down and use
the hexagon wrench (
13
) to unscrew the
boiler cap (
12
) on the bottom of the ap-
pliance (fig.7).
• Use the funnel (
14
) to pour 0,25 litre of cold
water into the boiler.
CAUTION: do not pour more than the
specified amount of water into the boi-
ler. Pour water slowly, being careful not
to let it overflow, as this could damage
the appliance (fig.8).
• Rinse out the boiler and pour the water
away into the sink or into a container for
collecting dirty water.
• If the water is very dirty, repeat the opera-
tion until it is clean.
• Put the cap back on the boiler, checking
that the seal is present and that the cap is
screwed on properly.
• Fill the water tank again and put the tank
lid.
• Turn the appliance on again.
• Before ironing, release steam into the sink
or another container and check that the
steam is clean. This should take a few se-
conds.
• Resume ironing normally.
