substances which could generate foam in-
side the Dirt container, as this could cause
malfunctioning.
• Dirt container can be filled with tap water.
• Do not suck up materials such as cement,
chalk etc. which solidify once they come in
contact with water thus damaging the ap-
pliance
• During refilling with water, switch off and
disconnect the appliance from the mains.
• It is necessary to keep the unit in horizon-
tal position during operation.
• Do not direct the steam jet onto electrical
and/or electronic appliances.
• Let the appliance cool down before clean-
ing it.
• Before storing the appliance make sure
that it has completely cooled down.
• This appliance is equipped with safety de-
vices which are to be replaced only by a
suitably qualified technician.
• 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
boiler. To avoid these problems, it is nec-
essary to swill out with tapwater and
empty the generator boiler after every 3 or
4 uses. In hard water areas we recom-
mend the use of KALSTOP, a special nat-
ural-base decalcifier which inhibits and
breaks down limescale, making it easy to
remove just by swilling out the boiler with a
little tapwater. This is a preventive against
lime scale build-up and protects the metal
walls of the boiler. KALSTOP is available
from Polti dealers or by mail-order from
your Polti Service Centre.

We recommend only using original Polti

•
Never use distilled water or scented wa-
ter.
• Do not try to unscrew the safety cap or
empty the appliance whilst water in the
boiler is still hot.
• Do not refill the boiler while it is still hot. Al-
low it to cool for a good few minutes be-
fore refilling.
• When REFILLING the generator boiler,
use
HOT
, not cold water. Pour in gradu-
ally and gently at first and keep your face
and other exposed skin well away. Other-
wise the still hot boiler walls may spit
drops of very hot water or steam spray.
• 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 STEAM FUNCTION if
the rubber gasket is not in position.
• If you iron sitting down, do not place 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.
• For iron rest mat replacement use only
original spare parts.
• Check that the steam request button is
switched off before connecting the
appliance to the mains.
