User manual POLTI VAPORELLA PRO 5000 R

[. . . ] 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 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. [. . . ] It is necessary to keep the unit in horizontal position during operation. NO Vaporella Pro 5000 R ENGLISH I M P O R TA N T Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested. However, your Vaporella may contain some residual water in the boiler. P R E PA R AT I O N F O R U S E 1a. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and fill the boiler with about 1. 2 litres of water using the special funnel (I) making sure that it does not overflow (fig. However, as hard water by its nature contains limestone, which may cause a build-up of limescale in the tank, in hard water areas we recommend the use of our natural-base decalcifier KALSTOP FP 2003. Connect the power supply cable (D) into an earthed power supply of the correct voltage. IMPORTANT: for the following operations after the first one, please make sure that the "continuous steam jet" switch (J) is not switched on. The pressure indicator light (K) and the "ON" indicator light (F) will light up (fig. Set the iron temperature to the "COTTON - LINEN" steam position (fig. Wait for the pressure indicator light (K) to go out (about 15 minutes). Push button (H) on the iron to release bursts of steam from the holes on the soleplate. NOTE: during initial operation of the iron, a few drops of water mixed with steam may come out of the soleplate until the temperature stabilises. It is advisable to direct the first jets of steam onto an old cloth until a uniform stable jet of steam is obtained. Fig. By turning the steam flow control knob (L) you can vary the amount of steam according to the type of textile to be ironed (more or less delicate). You can use this control to increase the steam flow by turning in a clockwise direction. Turning the control in anti-clockwise direction reduces the steam flow (fig. For dry ironing, connect the supply cable (D) to the mains, push the iron on/off switch (C), regulate the temperature of the iron by turning the knob (G) to the required temperature for the fabric shown on the knob itself. PAT E N T E D S A F E T Y C A P / " WAT E R O U T " All Polti machines are equipped with the unique Polti patented safety cap, which prevents opening of the generator tank as long as there is any pressure remaining inside the tank. This is an important and indispensable safety device, and it is necessary to follow certain procedures when re-filling the tank. Lack of water is indicated by the (F) indicator light, which changes from constant to flashing. Press the steam request button on the iron (H) so as to fully exhaust the steam supply from the tank. When cool proceed to carefully refill the tank as described in paragraph 1a of the section "PREPARATION FOR USE" in the instructions. If refilling the generator when not completely cooled, we recommend that you carefully pour only very small quantities of water at each pouring into the tank, so as to avoid spitting from the tank. Fig. In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the button (J) forwards.
