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.

CLEANING THE BOILER
(extraordinary maintenance)
To maintain optimum performance, clean the
boiler every 10/20 uses depending on the
amount of limestone in the water.
8.1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down
for 2 hours at least, if it is hot.
8.2 Empty the water tank to prevent leakage.
8.3 Turn the appliance upside down and lift
the rubber cover. Unscrew the cap of the
boiler
situated
on
the
bottom
of
the
appliance (13) with a suitable screwdriver.
8.4 Use the funnel (13) to pour 250 ml of cold
water into the boiler (14).
8.5 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 operation until it is clean.
8.6 Put 100 ml of water in the boiler and
screw back the cap. Make sure that the seal is
in and the cap is screwed on properly.
8.7 Fill the water tank again and put the cap
on.
8.8 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 seconds.
8.9 Resume ironing normally.

for 2 hours at least, if it is hot.
