[. . . ] Press the steam request lever (3) on the hand gun (2) or, if using the iron, the steam request button (R) on the iron (Q) so as to fully exhaust the steam supply from the tank. When cool proceed to carefully refill the tank as described in paragraph 1 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 and cover exposed skin whilst filling. USE OF THE PROFESSIONAL STRENGTH PRESSING IRON (normally sold separately) 1d. Connect the connector block at the end of the iron hose (4) to the generator as shown in point 2A of the section "Instruction for Use". For all steam ironing, position the temperature indicator dial (F) to the position "COTONE - LINO". For dry ironing set the temperature control dial according to the fabric to be ironed as indicated on the dial. Wait three to four minutes for the indicator (R) to go out indicating that the sole plate of the iron has reached the correct temperature. Press the steam request button on the iron (R) to allow the steam to exit.

In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the button (U) forwards. IMPORTANT · Do not leave the iron unattended whilst connected to the mains. · Iron only on heat resistant surfaces on and on surfaces that allow the steam to escape e. g. · If you accidentally drop your iron, you should have it checked by an authorized Polti Service Centre because some internal malfunctionings might have occured, limiting the safety of the product. ENGLISH CAUTIONS · When cleaning electric ovens, refrigerators, or other electrical equipment, always disconnect the electrical item to be cleaned from the mains before cleaning. · For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fabrics especially dralon, velvet and other pile surfaces, consult the manufacturers instructions. Clean only by using the hand gun at a safe distance together with a soft cloth and always do a test on a non visible part of the item first or on a sample. Allow the test area to dry completely before observing results and effects on surface or colour before proceeding to clean further areas, ensuring that exactly the same distance and technique are applied as for the test area. If in doubt, and on sensitive surfaces like fabrics, leather and wood it is always better to ask advice from your Steam Cleaner dealer. · For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture, doors etc. ) take great care as too long an application of the steam could alter the waxed appearance, the shine or the colour of the surfaces cleaned. We therefore recommend you apply the steam on such surfaces only for brief periods or to clean these surfaces using a cloth first held in the steam. · Please pay particular attention while cleaning brick floors: a too long application of steam could damage wax, brightness or colour of these surfaces. synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces etc. ) we recommend that the small brush should always be covered with at least two cloths to reduce the intensity of the steam, and (on machines with steam variation control) with the steam set at low level. · If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low temperatures preheat the glass using the hand gun from about 50 centimetres distance from the surface to be cleaned. [. . . ] · The appliance is fitted with a safety thermostat, which should only be replaced by an authorised technician. · If it is necessary to replace the power supply cable, please refer to the nearest Poltl authorised service centre, since the use of a special tool is necessary.
