STEAM IRONING
1b. Set the iron temperature on the “COTTON -
LINEN” position (fig. 3), by turning the dial
(1).
2b. Wait until both the boiler switch (2) and the
“Iron heating” indicator light (3a) switch off
(about 15 minutes). Press the steam re-
quest button (3) on the iron to make steam
come out of the holes on the soleplate. Re-
leasing the button, the steam 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 stabilizes. It is advisable to direct the
first jets of steam onto an old cloth until a
uniform stable jet of steam is obtained.
REGULATION OF THE STEAM FLOW
3b. By turning the steam flow regulation knob
(10) you can vary the amount of steam ac-
cording to the type of textile to be ironed
(more or less delicate). You can use this
control to increase the steam flow by tur-
ning in anti-clockwise direction. Turning the
control in a clockwise direction reduces the
steam flow (fig.5).
DRY IRONING
1c. For dry ironing:
• Plug the cable in.
• Press the iron switch (4), leaving the boiler
switch (2) off .
• Adjust the soleplate temperature by turning
the dial (1), set the temperature according to
the kind of fabric.
NOTE:
• The boiler switch (2) and the “Iron heating”
indicator light (3a) go on and off during ope-
ration. This means that the heating element
is working correctly to keep a constant pres-
sure in the boiler. This is a correct functio-
ning, just keep on ironing as usual.
• If no steam comes out of the iron, check the
following: the “Iron heating” indicator light
(3a) is OFF; there is water in the boiler.

Your Vaporella is equipped with a patented sa-
fety cap, which prevents opening of the boiler
as long as there is any pressure remaining in-
side. This is an important and indispensable
safety device, and it is necessary to follow cer-
tain procedures when re-filling the boiler.
When no more water comes out of the iron,
proceed as follows:
1d. Switch off the boiler (2).
2d Press the steam request button on the iron
(3) so as to fully exhaust the steam supply
from the boiler.
3d. Switch off the iron (4) .
4d. Disconnect the power cable from the
mains.
5d. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety
cap (5).
6d. Wait for a few minutes allowing the boiler to
cool down.
7d. When cool, carefully refill the boiler as de-
scribed in paragraph 1a of the section
“PREPARATION FOR USE”. If you refill the
boiler when not completely cooled, we re-
commend to pour only very small quantities
of water, so as to avoid its immediate eva-
poration.
