DO NOT USE THE STEAM FUNCTION ON DRAYLON, VELVET, LEATHER OR OTHER SENSITIVE FABRICS. [. . . ] To avoid these problems, it is necessary to swill out with tapwater and empty the generator tank after every 3 or 4 uses. In very hard water areas we recommend the use of our KALSTOP FP 2003, 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 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. · 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. · Do not refill the tank while it is still hot, allow it to cool down for a few minutes before refilling. · Do not empy the appliance when the water in the boiler is still hot. · Do not open the safety cap while the appliance is in use. 28 · The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface · When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable. · If you iron sitting down, do not put 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. · Activate the automatic closing lever (O) only if the board is resting horizontally on the ground; pay attention during board opening and closing procedures and always guide the board down to the floor. · If you need to replace the ironing board fabric cover or the lining, always make sure that the replacement is permeable to humidity. · Check that the continuous steam button is switched off before connecting the appliance to the mains.
