• Press the steam request button (
X
) 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.
• To obtain a continuous jet of steam move
the sliding button (
W1
). The steam will
continue to come out even when the
steam request button (
X
) is released. To
stop the flow of steam push the sliding but-
ton backwards (
W1
).
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 jet
which is most suitable to the fabric to be
ironed.
RECOMMENDED TECHNIQUE
for steam
ironing with the Polti iron is APPLY steam
(button X) on the upstroke, then release
button X (so no steam) for the backstroke,
thus reclosing the fibres, preventing over-
steaming and wetness.
DRY IRONING
• If you need to DRY iron (ONLY) (NOT
steam ironing), press the boiler switch (
2
)
and adjust the temperature of the iron by
turning dial (
Y
) to the temperature required
for the fabric (as shown on the dial).
ATTENTION:
when dry ironing, be careful
not to press the steam request button (
X
),
as hot water could come out of the iron
onto your garment and board.
IMPORTANT NOTE
• 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.
• In case of accidental fall of the appliance it
is necessary to have it checked by an au-
thorized service center as the internal
safety features may have been affected.
•
ATTENTION:
if you iron sitting down, do
not place your legs under the ironing
board, the steam can cause burns.

Before carrying out any type of maintenance
make sure that the power cable has been
disconnected from the mains.
After using the brushes it is advisable to al-
low the bristles to cool in their natural posi-
tion so as to avoid them getting deformed in
any way.
Check the conditions of the gaskets located
inside the monobloc plug (
B2
) periodically. If
necessary, replace them with the appropri-
ate spares. Also carry out the same check
on the gaskets for connecting the extension
tubes (
D
) and the handle (
A2
). To clean the
outside of the appliance, just use a damp
cloth. Do not use solvents or detergents as
these might damage the plastic surface. To
clean the “ECOACTIVE-FILTER” holder and
clean or change the sponge filter, follow the
instructions in the paragraph headed “EMP-
TYING AND CLEANING THE Dirt con-
tainer”.
