“continuous steam jet” button (
10a
) is not
switched on.
6a. Switch on the boiler and iron by pressing the
switches (
2
) and (
3
). The pressure indicator
light (
5
) will light up (fig. 6).
The sound emitted on switching on your appli-
ance and periodically during use, is due to the
water refilling system and is quite normal.

Check the manufacturer’s label on the garment,
and interpret the symbol on the label as follows:
STEAM IRONING
1b. For
STEAM
ironing, turn the dial (
7
) and set
the iron to its
MAXIMUM
travel on the “COT-
TON - LINEN” steam position (fig.7).
NB Set at its maximum, do NOT set
against the picture of iron on the dial (7)
.
Most fabric types, other than delicates can
be STEAM-ironed at this temperature,
please consult the garment label. If you want
to DRY iron, set the dial (
7
) to the required
temperature for the fabric as shown on the
dial.
Nb fabric indications on the dial are for
DRY ironing, for STEAM ironing set at
maximum travel as explained above.
2b.
Wait for both the pressure indicator light
(
5
) and the iron heating indicator light
(
10b
) to go out (about 3 minutes).
Push
the button (
10
) on the iron to release bursts
of steam from the holes on the soleplate.
Release the button and the steam flow stops
(fig.8).
NOTE:
during initial operation of the iron, a
few drops of water mixed with steam may
come out of the soleplate until the tempera-
ture stabilises. It is advisable to direct the
first jets of steam onto an old cloth until a
uniform stable jet of steam is obtained.
RECOMMENDED TECHNIQUE
for STEAM iron-
ing with Polti iron is to APPLY steam (button 10)
on the upstroke, then release button (
10
) (so no
steam) for the backstroke, so reclosing the fi-
bres, preventing oversteaming and wetness.
3b. In order to have a continuous steam jet,
move the continuous steam jet button (
10a
)
forwards. Steam will keep on coming out,
even if you release the button. To stop the
steam flow, move the continuous steam jet
button (
10a
) backwards (fig. 9).
4b.By turning the steam flow control knob (
6
)
you can vary the quantity of steam according
to the type of textile to be ironed (more or
less delicate). You can use this control to in-
crease the steam flow by turning it anti-
clockwise. Turn the control in a clockwise di-
rection to reduce the steam flow (fig.10).
5b. The appliance is equipped with a rigid iron
rest mat (
11
) (fig.11) which can be removed
and put elsewhere if required.
DRY IRONING
If you need to DRY iron (ONLY) (NOT steam
ironing), press the iron switch (
3
) and adjust the
iron temperature by turning the dial (
7
) to the
temperature required for the fabric (as shown on
the dial).
NOTE:
• The steam pressure indicator (
5
) may go on
and off from time to time during use of Va-
porella. This indicates the machine maintain-
ing the correct and constant pressure and is
quite normal.
• If no steam is released from the iron, check
the following: the steam pressure indicator (
5
)
is off; there is water in the boiler; the steam
flow control knob (
6
) is set to one of the
“Steam” settings.
