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. According to model, `water out' is indicated by a warning light (J), or by an audible alarm signal from the machine, or on more basic models by the exhaustion of the steam output. Whenever you have used up all the water in the tank, follow the following procedures: 1b. 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. 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. At first you may find that the steam contains some water globules and we recommend that the first jet of steam is therefore played onto an old cloth, and is not directed onto the garment to be ironed. In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the button (U) forwards. Iron only on heat resistant surfaces on and on surfaces that allow the steam to escape e.

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. ) 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.
