1a. Unscrew the patented safety cap (
A
) and
fill the boiler with about 1.5 litres of water
using the special funnel (
I
) making sure
that it does not overflow (fig. 1).
Normal tapwater can be used. In hard
water areas we recommend the use of
KALSTOP, a special natural-base decalci-
fier which inhibits and breaks down lime-
scale, making it easy to remove just by
swilling out the tank with a little tapwater.
2a. Retighten the cap fully and carefully.
EMake the patented safety cap (
A
) is fully
and correctly screwed on, otherwise you
may experience steam escaping from
around the cap.
3a. Connect the power supply cable (
D
) into
an earthed power supply of the correct
voltage.
IMPORTANT:
for the following operations
after the first one, please make sure that
the “continuous steam jet” switch (
J
) is not
switched on.
4a. Switch on the boiler and iron by pressing
the switches (
B
) and (
C
). The pressure in-
dicator light (
K
) and the “ON” indicator li-
ght (
F
) will light up (fig. 2).

Check the manufacturer’s label on the gar-
ment, and interpret the symbol on the label as
follows:
• For
STEAM
ironing, set the iron tempera-
ture to its maximum travel on the “COTTON
- LINEN” steam position (fig.3), by turning
the dial (
G
).
NB Set at its maximum, do NOT set
against the picture of iron on the dial
(G)
.
Most fabric types, other than delicates can
be STEAM-ironed at this temperature,
please consult the garment label. If you
want to DRY iron, set the dial (
G
) to the re-
quired temperature for the fabric, as shown
on the dial.
NB fabric indications on the dial are for
DRY ironing, for STEAM ironing set at
maximum travel as explained above.
• Wait for both the pressure indicator light (
K
)
and the iron heating indicator light (
M
) to go
out (about 15 minutes). Push the button (
H
)
on the iron to release bursts of steam from
the holes on the soleplate. Release the but-
ton and the steam flow stops (fig.4).
NOTE:
during initial operation of the iron, a
few drops of water mixed with steam may
come out of the soleplate until the tempera-
ture stabilises. It is advisable to direct the
first jets of steam onto an old cloth until a
uniform jet of steam is obtained.
• By turning the steam flow control knob (
L
)
you can vary the quantity of steam accord-
ing to the kind of textiles to be ironed (more
or less delicate). You can increase the
steam flow by turning the knob in clockwise
direction. Turning it in an anticlockwise di-
rection reduces the steam flow (fig.5). We
suggest the maximum emission for heavy
textiles like jeans and linen, medium for cot-
ton, minimum for light delicate textiles.
• In order to have a continuous steam jet,
move the button (
J
) forwards. Steam will
keep on coming out, even releasing the
steam request button. To interrupt the ou-
tlet, move the button (
J
) backwards (fig.6).
NOTE:
• Both (
K
) and (
M
) lights go on and off during
operation; this is quite normal and means
that the electric resistance is operating to
maintain constant the pressure in the boiler.

MAXIMUM travel at the end of the 3
dots symbol on your Polti iron
