steam.
Danger of burns!
• Do not put any detergent or chemical sub-
stance in the boiler. Water by its nature
contains magnesium, mineral salts and
other deposits which in hard water areas
can contribute to limescale build-up in the
tank. To avoid these problems, it is neces-
sary to swill out with tapwater and empty
the generator tank after every 3 or 4 uses.
In hard water areas we recommend the
use of KALSTOP, a special natural-base
decalcifier which inhibits and breaks down
limescale, making it easy to remove just by
swilling out the tank with a little tapwater.
This is a preventive against lime scale
build-up and protects the metal walls of the
steam generator tank. KALSTOP is availa-
ble from Polti dealers or by mail-order from
your Polti Service Centre.
• Do not try to unscrew the safety cap or
empty the appliance whilst water in the boi-
ler is still hot.
• Do not refill the boiler while it is still hot. Al-
low it to cool for a good few minutes before
refilling.
• Do not open the safety cap while the apl-
liance is ON.
• When REFILLING the generator boiler, use
HOT, not cold water. Pour in gradually and
gently at first and keep your face and other
exposed skin well away. Otherwise the still
hot boiler walls may spit drops of very hot
water or steam spray.
• Make sure the patented safety cap is fully
and correctly screwed on, otherwise you
may experience steam escaping from
around the cap.
• Check periodically the safety cap and
MAKE SURE the rubber gasket is in place
around the base of the screw thread.
Replace with original spare parts if neces-
sary. DO NOT USE STEAM FUNCTION if
the rubber gasket is not in position.
• If you iron sitting down, do not place your
legs under the ironing board, the steam can
cause burns.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on
surfaces that allow the steam to escape
e.g. mesh ironing boards.
• For iron rest replacement use only original
spare parts.
• The iron must be used and rested on a sta-
ble surface.
• When placing the iron on its stand, make
sure that the surface on which the stand is
placed is stable.
• Check that the continuous steam request
button is switched off before connecting the
appliance to the mains.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or in-
struction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• The appliance must not be used if it has fal-
len, been dropped or when it has visible signs
of damage or leaks.
•
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be re-
placed by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
