INFORMATION FOR USERS
Pursuant to European Directive 2012/19/EU,
regarding electric and electronic appliances,
this appliance must not be disposed of with
domestic waste, but sent to an official
collection facility. This appliance complies
with EU Directive 2011/65/EU.
The crossed-out bin symbol on the
appliance indicates that, at the
end of its useful lifespan, the
product must be disposed of
separately from other waste. Therefore, at
the end of its life, the user must hand over
the appliance to an appropriate collection
centre for electric and electronic waste or,
according to the legislation in force in the
country, leave the used appliance with the
distributor when buying a new product to
replace it. Proper separate waste
collection to facilitate the subsequent
recycling, treatment and environmentally
compatible disposal of the appliance helps
to prevent negative effects on the
environment and human health, and
promotes recycling of the materials the
product is made of. Unlawful disposal by
the owner may result in the sanctions
envisaged by current legislation.
WHICH WATER TO USE IN THE
BOILER
This Vaporella has been designed to function
with medium-hardness tap water between
8°f and 20°f. If the tap water is very hard, do
not just use demineralised water but a mix
composed of 50% tap water and 50%
demineralised water which is widely available
to purchase.
Warning: check the hardness of the water at
the technical office at your local council or
the local water supplier.
If you only use tap water, you can reduce the
formation of limescale by using the special
Kalstop (PAEU0094) anti-limescale product,
distributed by Polti, and available for sale at
all major domestic-appliance stores or online
at www.polti.com.
Do not use distilled water, undiluted
demineralised water, rain water or water
containing additives (e.g. starch, perfumes),
scented water or water produced by other
domestic appliances, by water softeners and
filter jugs.
Do not add chemical, natural, detergent, or
limescale removing substances, etc.
