User manual POLTI VAC 300

[. . . ] · Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the mains voltage is the same as the voltage indicated on the data label of the appliance and that the power outlet is connected to earth · Always turn off the appliance at the on/off switch before unplugging it. · If the appliance is left unused, always disconnect it from the mains. Never leave the appliance unattended with the cable plugged into the mains. · Always make sure the appliance is unplugged before performing maintenance work of any kind · Do not pull the power cable out of the socket, but grasp the plug itself to avoid damage to the socket. [. . . ] · During refilling with water, switch off and disconnect the appliance from the mains. · It is necessary to keep the unit in horizontal position during operation. · Do not direct the steam jet on electrical and/or electronic appliances. · Before storing the appliance make sure that it has completely cooled down. · This appliances is equipped with safety devices which are to be replaced only by a suitably qualified technician. · Do not put any detergent or chemical substance in the boiler. By nature, water contains magnesium, mineral salts and other deposits that favour the formation of scale. To prevent these deposits from causing damage to the appliance, the ideal solution is represented by the use of KALSTOP FP 2003, a special natural descaling agent that removes scale. This 27 ENGLISH VAC 300 ECO PROGRAM allows avoiding scale formation and protecting the metal walls of the boiler. KALSTOP can be found in small appliance stores and Polti service centres. Alternatively, we recommend using a 50/50 mixture of tap water and demineralised water. To use tap water only and avoid scale formation, we recommend the addition of the special natural scale removal agent Kalstop FP 2003. Do not use demineralised water alone, but mix it with tap water as described above. · Slowly pull out the power cable (9) to the desired length as shown in (fig. · Connect the cable plug to an earthed power supply of the correct voltage. The ON indicator light (A) and the "Iron heating" indicator light (11) will turn on. · The sound emitted on switching on your appliance and periodically during use, is due to the water refilling system and is quite normal. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Check the manufacturer's label on the garment, and interpret the symbol on the label as follows: · It is best not to use steam when ironing silk or synthetics, as iron temperature and pressure will be enough to ensure good results. Use the WOOL setting if you wish to iron particularly delicate fabrics (synthetics and silk) with steam. · To optimise ironing time, iron the most delicate fabrics (SYNTH/SILK settings) before heavier fabrics. If you do it the other way around, even if steam production is not stopped, you will have to wait for the iron and the boiler to cool down to the selected iron temperature and steam pressure. Check, based on the following table, the most appropriate type of ironing: DRY IRONING Adjust the selection dial (6) to the SYNT SILK DRY position. [. . . ] SHORTAGE OF WATER The lack of water in the tank (3) is signalled by the indicator light (C) coming on. To return to ironing, proceed as follows: · Fill the tank (3) again, as described in the paragraph "PREPARATION". · Press the "RESET" (5) (Fig5) key to turn off the no water light (C). PUTTING AWAY THE APPLIANCE Make sure the appliance has cooled down completely before putting it away. [. . . ]
