STEAM IRONING
• For steam ironing, set iron temperature by turning
the knob (
S
) to the appropriate temperature for the
fabric.
Most types of fabric, other than delicates can be
STEAM ironed at this temperature, please consult
the garment manufacturer’s instructions on the la-
bel.
NB fabric indications on dial are for DRY iro-
ning, NOT steam ironing.
• Wait for a few minutes until the “Iron heating” indi-
cator light (
U
) goes off, to show that the soleplate
of the iron has reached the required temperature.
• Press the steam request button (
R
) to enable 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.
• The iron can also be used in a vertical position
e.g. for removing creases from curtain, clothing
etc.
NOTE:
using the iron, it is advisable to adjust the
steam jet at medium output, or to do some testing
in order to find the jet which is most suitable to the
fabric to be ironed.
RECOMMENDED TECHNIQUE for steam ironing
with the Polti iron is to APPLY steam (button
R
) on
the upstroke, then release button
R
(so no steam)
for the backstroke, thus reclosing the fibres, pre-
venting oversteaming and wetness.
DRY IRONING
• For DRY ironing (without steam), set the iron tem-
perature by turning the control knob (
S
) on the po-
sition required for the fabric, as shown on the
same knob.
When dry ironing, be careful NOT TO PRESS
THE STEAM REQUEST BUTTON (
R
) on the iron,
otherwise water may leak from the soleplate.

• Do not leave the iron unattended whilst connected
to the mains.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on sur-
faces 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
• DO NOT USE ON leather, wood or delicate fabrics
especially dralon, velvet and other pile surfaces.
• For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fabrics
especially dralon, velvet and other pile surfaces,
consult the manufacturers instructions. Clean only
by using the hand gun at a safe distance together
with a soft cloth and always do a test on a non vi-
sible part of the item first or on a sample.
Allow the test area to dry completely before obser-
ving 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 application of the
steam could alter the waxed appearance, the
shine or the colour of the surfaces cleaned. We
therefore recommend you to apply the steam on
such surfaces only for brief periods or to clean
these surfaces using a cloth first held in the
steam.
• Please pay particular attention while cleaning
brick floors: a too long application of steam could
damage wax, brightness or colour of these surfa-
ces.
• For delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materials, lac-
quered surfaces etc.) we recommend that the
small brush should always be covered with at
least two cloths to reduce the intensity of the
steam, and (on machines with steam variation
control) with the steam set at low level. Always
test first on a non-visible area, allow to dry thorou-
ghly, and if successful, make sure to use exactly
the same tool, technique, steam level and steam
jet distance.
• If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low tem-
peratures preheat the glass using the hand gun
from about 50 centimetres distance from the sur-
face to be cleaned.
• For care of your plants vaporise at a minimum di-
stance of 50 centimetres.
