[. . . ] To avoid these problems, it is necessary 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 available 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 boiler is still hot. · 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. · 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. · 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 instruction 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.
