It is advisable to direct the first jets of steam onto an old cloth until a uniform stable jet of steam is obtained. In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the button (J) forwards. 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 anti-clockwise direction. Turning the control in a clockwise direction reduces the steam flow (fig. 8). · · · · · · · · 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. 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. Whenever when you have used up all the water in the tank, do as follow : 1a. 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 3 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. P R E PA R AT I O N F O R U S E 1. Place the cable (iron power supply - steam tube) (E) in its support (fig. The appliance is also equipped with a rigid iron rest (F) which can be removed and put elsewhere as required. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and fill the boiler with about 1. 3 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. Switch on the boiler and iron by pressing the switches (B) and (C) which will light up together with the pressure indicator light (K). 15 ENGLISH VA P O R E L L A P R O F E S S I O N A L R S E L E C TA I M P O R TA N T · · Do not leave the iron unattended whilst connected to the mains.
