POLTI S.p.A. reserves the right to make the
aesthetic, technical and construction changes
it deems necessary, without prior notice.
Before leaving our factory, all our products
are rigorously tested. Therefore, Polti Vaporel-
la Instant may already contain some residual
water in the tank.
Only usage as detailed in this instruction man-
ual constitutes correct usage. Any other use
may damage the appliance and invalidate the
warranty.
WHICH WATER TO USE
Polti Vaporella Instant is designed to function
with normal medium-hardness tap water be-
tween 8°f and 20°f. If the tap water contains a
lot of calcium carbonate, use a mix composed
of 50% tap water and 50% widely available
demineralised water.
Warning: check the hardness of the water at
the technical office of your local council or the
local water supplier.
Periodically replace the limescale filter as
shown in Chapter 8.
Never use distilled water, rain water or water
containing additives (e.g. starch, perfumes), or
water produced by other domestic appliances,
water softeners and filter jugs.
Do not add chemicals, natural, detergent, or
limescale removing substances, etc.
1. PREPARING FOR USE
Remove the appliance from the packaging,
checking that the product is intact and that all
the parts are included.
Place Polti Vaporella Instant on a stable, flat,
heat-resistant surface.
Fill the tank with water (1) up to the MAX line.
Do not add other substances or additives
to the tank.
This step must always be carried out with the
power cord unplugged from the mains.
Release the iron (16), insert the plug on the
other end of the power cord into a suitable
socket (2) with an earth connection and check
that the cords are entirely unwound.
To switch on the appliance, press the key with
the symbol on the handle of the iron (3):
the light will flash (4).
2. IRONING MODE
ATTENTION: Before ironing a garment, al-
ways check the symbols on the label.
Polti Vaporella Instant has a smart plate with
a temperature suitable for ironing all types of
fabrics and also features four settings that can
be selected using the
key (5):
DRY MODE
- For ironing natural fabrics
such as silk and wool that could be damaged
by steam (6A).
ECO MODE - Enables ironing while saving
energy and water and with optimal perfor-
mance even for more resistant fabrics (cotton,
denim and linen) (6B).
MEDIUM MODE - For easy ironing of all
types of fabrics (6C).
MAX MODE - For easy ironing even with
heavier fabrics (6D).
Press the steam button under the grip on the
iron (7) to activate dispensing steam from the
holes on the plate. When first switched on
and once the water runs out in the tank, press
and hold the steam button until steam is dis-
pensed. Start ironing. The flow stops when the
steam button (7) is released.
When first using the steam, there may be
some drops of water leaking out of the
plate. This is due to thermal stabilization. It
is recommended that the first jets of steam
are not directed onto the fabric that needs
ironing.
The sound heard periodically during use is
due to the water reloading system.
ATTENTION: Do not leave the hot iron on
any surface. Polti Vaporella Instant has
a built-in iron rest with non-slip pads de-
signed to resist high temperatures.
3. THE STEAM BOOST FUNCTION
The STEAM BOOST function can be activated
for quick and easy ironing by double-clicking
the steam button under the grip on the iron
(7). A powerful blast of steam will allow you
to speed up and improve ironing, even with
heavy fabrics, and to remove the most diffi-
cult creases. Wait 10 seconds before using this
function again.
4. STEAM PULSE FUNCTION
For quicker and easier ironing, the STEAM
PULSE FUNCTION
can be activated, by
pressing the key with the symbol (8) on
the handle of the iron. The intermittent steam
