If you want to DRY iron, set the dial (7) to the required temperature for the fabric as shown on the dial. Nb fabric indications on the dial are for DRY ironing, for STEAM ironing set at maximum travel as explained above. NOTE: before starting ironing, make sure that the iron is hot enough by checking that the light on the iron handle has gone out (10b). NOTE: On first usage, be sure that the continuos steam jet button (10a) is not set on. Wait for the pressure indicator light (5) to go out (about 15 minutes). Push the steam request button (10) on the iron to release bursts of steam from the holes on the soleplate.

NOTE: · The steam pressure indicator (5) and the "Iron Heating" indicator (10b) may go on and off from time to time during use of Vaporella. This means the machine is maintaining the correct and constant pressure and is quite normal. · If no steam is released from the iron, check the following: the steam pressure indicator (5) is off; there is water in the boiler; the steam control (6) is set to one of the "Steam" settings. U S I N G T H E S TA I N R E M O V E R G U N (optional mod. BASIC) Before using the stain remover gun, it is advisable to carefully read the following instructions which allow a correct classification of stains and supply accurate advice on the most appropriate way of operating. I D E N T I F Y I N G T H E S TA I N In order to act properly on stains, it is important to be able to distinguish them. This allows you to avoid unsuccessful attempts which often, as well as not producing an optimal result, can also be damaging. "THE AGE" All RECENT stains can be removed with the stain remover gun without having to wash the item. As they get older, stains attach themselves to the fabric's fibres and in some cases, steam cannot remove them. If the recently stained fabrics are treated immediately with mineral water, the stain does not attach itself to the fibres and subsequent steam cleaning with the stain remover gun will prove quicker and more effective. "THE ORIGIN" Stains are produced from substances of various origins and according to the base of the predominant substance they can be classified as having the following origin: · ANIMAL (protein base): soup and meat sauce, milk and cream, blood, sweat, egg, urine, vomit. [. . . ] The different colours let you use the same brush on the same surface ensuring perfect hygiene. 21) · To remove hard dirt on very narrow surfaces, such as tiles grout, door posts, shutters slats, radiators and so on. 22) · To sanitise difficult to reach surfaces which may be difficult to reach with other accessories. Thanks to its special shape, it produces a more concentrated jet of steam. [. . . ]
