7. OUT OF WATER
The lack of water in the tank is indicated by
the flashing of the indicator light (
) (11)
and the buzzer.
To restart operations just fill the water tank
again as described in the chapter 1.
8. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance on the
device, always unplug it from the power
mains making sure that the product has coo-
led down before proceeding.
To clean the outside of the appliance, only use
a damp cloth.
Do not use detergents of any type.
For good maintenance of the boiler we sug-
gest using Kalstop, the special natural-base li-
mescale, distributed by Polti, and available for
sale at all major domestic-appliance stores or
online at www.polti.com.
Clean the iron soleplate when it is completely
cold with a damp cloth or with a non-abrasive
sponge.
9. CLEANING THE BOILER
(extraordinary maintenance)
To maintain optimum performance, clean the
boiler every 10/20 uses depending on the
amount of limestone in the water.
9.1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down
for 2 hours at least, if it is hot.
9.2 Empty the water tank to prevent leakage.
9.3 Turn the appliance upside down and lift
the rubber cover. Unscrew the cap of the boi-
ler situated on the bottom of the appliance
(13) with a suitable screwdriver.
9.4 Use the funnel to pour 250 ml of cold wa-
ter into the boiler (14).
9.5 Rinse out the boiler and pour the water
away into the sink or into a container for col-
lecting dirty water. If the water is very dirty,
repeat the operation until it is clean.
9.6 Put 100 ml of water in the boiler and
screw back the cap. Make sure that the seal is
in and the cap is screwed on properly.
9.7 Fill the water tank again and put the cap on.
9.8 Turn the appliance on again.
Before ironing, release steam into the sink or
another container and check that the steam is
clean. This should take a few seconds.
9.9 Resume ironing normally.
10. REPLACEMENT BOILER CAP
GASKET (not supplied)
If the gasket of the boiler cap is damaged, re-
place it with the specific spare part, as descri-
bed below:
10.1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down
for 2 hours at least, if it is hot.
10.2 Empty the water from the tank to prevent
leaking.

the rubber cover. Unscrew the cap of the boi-
ler situated on the bottom of the appliance

10.5 Insert the new gasket and push it in place
(15).
10.6 Screw the boiler cap back on, making su-
re that it is correctly screwed on and replace
the rubber cover.
