User manual POLTI VAPORETTO GENIUS

[. . . ] The No Volt System offers the additional safety feature of only being able to operate when the user is present - the steam switches itself off immediately if the handgrip is released. The maximum power is taken up when the machine is being heated from cold to ensure more rapid heating of the water. Once a certain level of temperature has been reached (level 1), a cut out comes into operation, reducing the electricity consumption. The system continues to heat using only the required amount of electricity to reach operating temperature most efficiently (level 2).
