2. IRON TEMPERATURE ADJUST-
MENT
Before ironing an item of clothing, always
check the symbols
on its label, for the instructions provided by
the manufacturer.
Check, based on the following table, the most
appropriate type
of ironing and regulate the iron temperature
knob (4):
3. STEAM ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the steam according to the fabric to be
ironed, turning the knob on the machine (5-6)
according to the following indications.
for the XB60C model
Silk
dry iron for silk, acetate, acrylic, velvet,
nylon, viscose and polyester garments.
Eco
for ironing all fabrics optimizing con-
sumption and performance (see section 7).
Linen
for cotton and linen garments.
Turbo for easy ironing of heavier fabrics (see
section 8).
for the XB50R model
Silk
dry iron for silk, acetate, acrylic, velvet,
nylon, viscose and polyester garments.
Eco
for ironing all fabrics optimizing con-
sumption and performance (see section 7).
Linen
for cotton and linen garments.
Once the steam and the iron temperature have
been adjusted, the LED on the handle will light
up yellow, to show the appliance is heating up.
Wait until the indicator light turns to a constant
blue.
Press the button (8) to start the steam coming
out of the holes on the soleplate. Start ironing
the garments. Releasing the button, the flow
stops.
4. OPERATING THE STEAM PULSE
The STEAM PULSE function (intermittent
steam) can be activated for an easy and quick
iron, by double-clicking on the steam button
(8). The intermittent steam penetrates further
into the fabric, speeding up and improving the
ironing. In this mode, the iron will begin
alternating between emitting steam and one
second of not emitting steam.
To deactivate this function, press the steam
button again.
To reactivate, repeat the procedure from the
beginning.
For vertical ironing, we recommend use of
the Steam Pulse function.
5. VERTICAL IRONING
It is possible to use the iron vertically to
remove creases from fabrics and/or to freshen
up the fibres, eliminating possible residual
odours.
Hold the iron vertically, push the steam button
(8) and touch the fabric slightly with the
soleplate, if the type of fabric allows it.
6. DRY IRONING OR IRONING
SYNTHETIC GARMENTS
Turn the knob to the SILK setting.
Wait until the indicator light turns to a con-
stant blue.
Continue with the ironing.
High temperature – cotton, linen:
Set the iron temperature adjustment knob
to the position •••
Medium temperature – wool, silk:
Set the iron temperature adjustment knob
to the position ••
Low temperature – synthetic, acrylic, nylon,
polyester:
Set the iron temperature adjustment knob
to the position •
- Do not iron
- Steam ironing and steam treatment not
allowed
WARNING: For low temperature we do not
recommend the use of steam since water
could come out from the holes on the
soleplate. For medium temperature alternate
the use of steam and dry ironing to avoid
water leaking from the holes on the soleplate.
Divide the laundry according to the symbols
on the garment labels or according to the
kind of fabric. Always start ironing with the
garments that require the lowest temperatu-
re, in order to reduce the waiting times and
avoid the risk of burning the fabrics.
When first using the steam, there may be so-
me drops of water leaking out of the plate,
this is due to thermal stabilization. It is rec-
ommended that the first jets of steam are
not directed onto the fabric that needs iron-
ing.
WARNING: Do not leave the hot iron on any
surface. Polti La Vaporella comes with a
removable iron rest mat (9) with non-slip
pads designed to resist high temperatures.
Do not position the iron on the base without
the rest mat (10).
