• Unscrew the patented safety cap (
7
)
(Fig.1) and fill the boiler with not more than
1.3 litres of water, using the filler funnel
(
U
). Make sure that the water does not
overflow, and that space is left in the boiler
for the steam to form.
• Normal tapwater can be used. Water by its
nature contains magnesium, mineral salts
and other deposits which in hard water ar-
eas can cause limescale build up in the
boiler. It is essential to swill it out with tap-
water every 3 or 4 uses. In hardwater ar-
eas, we recommend with every 3-4 uses
you add ONLY IN THE BOILER our
KALSTOP, a special natural-base decalci-
fier which inhibits and breaks down
limescale. This is a preventive against
limescale 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
products as other products may not be
suitable for use with Polti appliances and
may cause serious damage.
•
Never use distilled water or scented wa-
ter.
• MAKE SURE the rubber gasket is present
inside the safety cap, then screw on the
safety cap (
7
) to hand tight. Make sure the
patented safety cap is fully and correctly
screwed on, otherwise you may experi-
ence steam escaping around the cap.
• Lift the Dirt container handle (
22
) unhook-
ing it from its position (Fig. 2) and remove
the container (
20
) (Fig. 3).
• Turn the container handle (
22
) as shown
in figure 4, so as to remove the “Eco Ac-
tiveFilter” water filter assembly (
23
).
• Fill the Dirt container (
20
) with about 1,2
litres of tap water until the MAX level indi-
cator (
21
) is reached, as in fig. 5.
• Put the filter assembly (
23
) back into place
in the Dirt container (
20
) returning it to its
initial position.
• Replace the Dirt container into position.
• Support the handle (
22
) until it hooks into
its place on the Dirt container (
20
).
