• Do not direct the steam jet onto electrical
and/or electronic appliances.
• Let the appliance cool down before cleaning
it.
• Before storing the appliance make sure that
it has completely cooled down.
• This appliance is equipped with safety devi-
ces which are to be replaced only by a sui-
tably qualified technician.
• When Refilling the generator tank, use
HOT
rather than cold water, pour in gently
at first and keep exposed skin and your
face away. Otherwise the still hot tank walls
can spit drops of very hot water or steam
spray.
• Do not direct the steam jet at people, ani-
mals or debris.
• Never place your hands inside the jet of
steam.
• Do not put any detergent or chemical sub-
stance in the boiler. Water by its nature
contains magnesium, mineral salts and
other deposits which in hard water areas
can contribute to limescale build up in the
tank. To avoid these problems, it is neces-
sary to swill out with tapwater and empty
the generator tank after every 3 or 4 uses.In
very hard water areas we recommend the
use of our KALSTOP, a special natural-
base decalcifier which inhibits and breaks
down limescale, making it easy to remove
just by swilling out the tank with a little
tapwater. This is a preventive against scale
build-up and protects the metal walls of the
steam generator tank. KALSTOP is availa-
ble from Polti dealers or by mail-order from
your Polti Service Centre.
• We recommend you use original Polti
products only, as products of other
brands may not be suitable for use in
Polti products and could cause damage.
• Never use distilled water or scented wa-
ter.
• Make sure the patented safety cap is fully
and correctly screwed on, otherwise you
may experience steam escaping from
around the cap.
• Check periodically the safety cap and
MAKE SURE the rubber gasket is in place
around the base of the screw thread.
Replace with original spare parts if neces-
sary. DO NOT USE the appliance if the rub-
ber gasket is not in position.
• If you iron sitting down, do not put your legs
under the ironing board, the steam can
cause burns.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on
surfaces that allow the steam to escape,
e.g. mesh ironing boards.
• The iron must be used and rested on a sta-
ble surface.
• When placing the iron on its stand, make
sure that the surface on which the stand is
placed is stable.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or in-
struction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
