M A I N S ( A C ) O P E R AT I O N This unit is designed to operate on 240V, 50 Hz current only. This appliance may be fitted with a non rewirable plug, if it is necessary to change the fuse in a non rewirable plug the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement, available from the appliance manufacturer, is obtained. [. . . ] 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. I M P O R TA N T Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested. However, your VAPORETTO may contain some residual water in the boiler. SET UP Before using VAPORETTO for the first time assemble the pivoting wheels as indicated in the diagram A. P R E PA R AT I O N F O R U S E 1. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and fill the generator with 2 litres of water, using the special funnel (14) (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 (F) into an earthed power supply of the correct voltage. USE OF THE PROFESSIONAL STRENGTH PRESSING IRON 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 for a few 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. 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. IMPORTANT · Do not leave the iron unattended whilst connected to the mains. · Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on surfaces that allow the steam to escape e. g. · ATTENTION: if you iron sitting down, do not place your legs under the ironing board, the steam can cause burns. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 1a. Press down the generator on/off switch (B) and the accessories on/off switch (C) which will light up. Open the cover of the central connector block (D) and insert the central connector (4) pressing the connector button (5) and taking care that the locking tab (6) is correctly positioned in the lock-in aperture (E) on the block (Fig. (Note: on some models where there is no separate pressure indicator light, instead wait for the light inside the generator on/off switch to go out) (c. The steam gun (2) is equipped with a safety switch (2A) which prevents the accidental start of the steam jet by children or people who do not know how to operate the appliance. With the switch 2A in the "OFF" position, the lever controlling the steam jet is locked. Should the hose be left unattended for a moment whilst the appliance is connected to the mains, it is recommended to put the safety switch in the "OFF" position. [. . . ] Move the brush rapidly in all directions without applying any pressure. You should avoid lingering in the same place, as this may soak the area. Obstinate stains may require the use of the steam gun prior to treatment. SMALL BRUSH (12) The small brush is designed to perform the same operation as the large brush, only on smaller surfaces.
