STEAM IRONING
2d. For STEAM ironing, turn the dial (
S
) and
set the iron temperature to its maximum
travel on the “COTTON-LINEN” steam po-
sition.
NB YOU MUST SET AT ITS MAXIMUM
POSITION, DO NOT SET AGAINST
THE PICTURE OF THE IRON ON THE
DIAL (S).
Most types of fabric, other than delicates
can be STEAM ironed at this temperature,
please consult the garment manufac-
turer’s instructions on the label.
NB FABRIC INDICATIONS ON DIAL
ARE FOR DRY ironing, NOT steam
ironing.
3d. Wait for a few minutes until the “Iron hea-
ting” indicator light (
V
) goes out, to show
that the soleplate of the iron has reached
the required temperature.
4d. Press the steam request button (
R
) to en-
able the steam to come out. The steam
flow will stop when the button is released.
After each filling, when you first start to
use the iron, a few drops of water mixed
with the steam may be emitted (due to im-
perfect heat stabilisation). It is therefore
advisable to direct the first jet of steam
onto a rag.
5d. The iron can also be used in a vertical po-
sition e.g. for removing creases from cur-
tain, clothing etc.
6d. To obtain a continuous jet of steam move
the sliding button (
U
). The steam will con-
tinue to come out even when the steam
request button (
R
) is released. To stop the
steam flow move the sliding button back-
wards (
U
).
NOTE:
using the iron, it is advisable to ad-
just the steam jet at medium output, or to
do some testing in order to find the posi-
tion on (
U
) which is most suitable to the
fabric to be ironed.
RECOMMENDED TECHNIQUE
for
steam ironing with the Polti iron is APPLY
steam (button R) on the upstroke, then re-
lease button R (so no steam) for the back-
stroke, thus reclosing the fibres, prevent-
ing oversteaming and wetness.
DRY IRONING
7d. If you need to DRY iron (ONLY) (NOT
steam ironing), press the accessory on/off
switch (
C
) and adjust the temperature of
the iron by turning dial (
S
) to the tempera-
ture required for the fabric (as shown on
the dial).
ATTENTION:
when dry ironing, be careful
not to press the steam request button (
R
),
as hot water could come out of the iron
onto your garment and board.

• Do not leave the iron unattended whilst
connected to the mains.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on
surfaces that allow the steam to escape
e.g.
MESH
ironing boards.
•
ATTENTION:
if you iron sitting down, do
not place your legs under the ironing board,
the steam can cause burns.

WARNINGS
• For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fa-
brics especially dralon, velvet and other pile
surfaces, consult the manufacturers in-
structions. Clean only by using the hand
gun at a safe distance together with a soft
cloth and always do a test on a non visible
part of the item first or on a sample.
Allow the test area to dry completely before
observing results and effects on surface or
colour before proceeding to clean further
areas.
• For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture,
doors etc.) take great care as a too long ap-
plication of the steam could alter the waxed
appearance, the shine or the colour of the
surfaces cleaned. We therefore recom-
mend you to apply the steam on such sur-
faces only for brief periods or to clean these
surfaces using a cloth first held in the
steam.
• Please pay particular attention while clea-
ning brick floors: a too long application of
steam could damage wax, brightness or co-
lour of these surfaces.
