INFORMATION FOR USERS

Pursuant to European Directive 2012/19/EU, regarding electric and electronic appliances, this appliance must not be disposed of with domestic waste, but must be sent to an official collection facility. This appliance complies with EU Directive 2011/65/EU.

The crossed-out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that, at the end of its useful lifespan, the product must be disposed of separately from other waste. Therefore, at the end of its life, the user must hand over the appliance to an appropriate collection centre for electric and electronic waste or, according to the legislation in force in the country, leave the used appliance with the distributor when buying a new product to replace it. Proper separate waste collection to facilitate the subsequent recycling, treatment and environmentally compatible disposal of the appliance helps to prevent negative effects on the environment and human health, and promotes recycling of the materials the product is made of. Unlawful disposal by the owner may result in the application of the administrative sanctions envisaged by current legislation.

WHICH WATER TO USE IN THE BOILER

Polti La Vaporella has been designed to function with medium-hardness tap water between 8°f and 20°f. If the tap water is very hard, do not just use demineralised water but a mix composed of 50% tap water and 50% demineralised water which is widely available to purchase.
Warning: check the hardness of the water at the technical office at your local council or the local water supplier.
If you only use tap water, you can reduce the formation of limescale by using the special PoltiKalstop (PAEU0094) anti-limescale product, distributed by Polti, and available for sale at all major domestic-appliance stores or online at www.polti.co.uk.
Do not use distilled water, undiluted demineralised water, rain water or water containing additives (e.g. starch, perfumes), scented water or water produced by other domestic appliances, by water softeners and filter jugs.
Do not add chemical, natural, detergent, or limescale removing substances, etc.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Position Polti La Vaporella on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.
Open the flap for filling the tank. Fill the tank with water up to the MAX line located on the tank itself (1), but no further.
The water tank can be removed by pulling it from the lower handle (2).
These operations must always be carried out with the power cable disconnected from the mains.
You may fill up the tank when necessary, you need not wait for the appliance to cool.
Close the flap and/or reinsert the water tank.
Gently pull the power cable out and connect it to an appropriate mains socket (3) that is earthed. Always use the product with the cable completely unwound. Take out the steam hose.
Turn the dial on the appliance in a clockwise direction starting from to the desired program (4-5-6). The indicator light on the iron (7) will light up yellow, to show that the appliance is heating up to reach the temperature for the selected program.

The sound emitted on switching on your appliance and periodically during use, is due to the water refilling system and is quite normal.

IRONING PROGRAM SELECTION

Polti La Vaporella is equipped with an intelligent iron, where the temperature and steam are pre-set according to the selected program, i.e. the type of fabric to be ironed.
Before ironing an item of clothing, always check the symbols on its label, for the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Divide the laundry according to the symbols on the garment labels or according to the kind of fabric. Always start ironing with the garments that require the lowest temperature, in order to reduce the waiting times and avoid the risk of burning the fabrics.

With the Universal program you can iron all fabric types without adjusting the iron and steam temperatures.

Select the desired program based on the type of fabric to be ironed, by turning the dial on the appliance (4 5-6).

for the XT110C – XT100C models

Silk (• ) dry iron for silk, acetate, acrylic, velvet, nylon, viscose and polyester garments.
Wool (•• ) for wool garments and delicate fabrics.
Universal (★ ) ideal for ironing any kind of ironable fabric.
Cotton (••• ) for cotton garments and jeans.
Linen (max ) for linen garments.
Turbo for easy ironing of heavier fabrics (see section 7).

Once the program has been selected, the indicator light on the iron will light up yellow, to show the appliance is heating up.
Wait until the indicator light turns to a constant blue.
Press the button (8) to start the steam coming out of the holes on the plate. Start ironing the garments. Releasing the button, the flow stops.

When first using the steam, there may be some drops of water leaking out of the plate, this is due to thermal stabilization. It is recommended that the first jets of steam are not directed onto the fabric that needs ironing.

TURBO PROGRAM

Using the TURBO program, quickly and easily iron even the heaviest fabrics, smoothing out the most stubborn creases in one go.

Do not use this mode for ironing synthetic, silk and wool clothing.

To activate this program simply turn the dial to TURBO (4-5-6). The Turbo will last for a maximum of 10 minutes, after which the Polti La Vaporella will automatically switch over to the UNIVERSAL program. To reactivate, turn the dial to the TURBO program again (4-5-6).

360° FLUID CURVE TECHNOLOGY

The innovative multidirectional rounded plate with a scratch-resistant covering allows for 360° ironing. The pointed tip reaches the most difficult sections and the concentration of steam in this area flattens even the most stubborn creases. The steam channels spread steam out evenly for quicker ironing.

AUTOMATIC SWITCH-OFF

After 10 minutes without use (calculated from the last operation carried out on the appliance), the boiler and the iron switch off automatically. The indicator light flashes. To reactivate the appliance, turn the dial to the desired program (4-5-6).

OUT OF WATER

The water level is always visible on the tank.
When there is no water in the tank, the red indicator light displays on the iron handle (7).
To restart ironing:

Fill the tank as described in section 1.
Keep the button on the iron (8) pressed down for at least one second.

LED INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE IRON

The different coloured lights displayed on the iron’s handle (7) show the state of the iron, making ironing simpler:

YELLOW LIGHT: shows that the appliance is heating up.
The temperature will be reached more quickly if no steam is emitted.
CONSTANT BLUE LIGHT: shows that the appliance is ready to start ironing and to emit steam.
FLASHING BLUE LIGHT: shows that the iron’s temperature is cooling down.
The setting required will be reached quicker if steam is emitted.
RED LIGHT: shows the iron is oht of water.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any maintenance on the device, always unplug it from the power mains making sure that the product has cooled down before proceeding.
To clean the outside of the appliance, use only a damp cloth.
Do not use detergents of any type.
Clean the iron soleplate when it is completely cold with a damp cloth or with a non-abrasive sponge.

Polti La Vaporella does not require any maintenance to the boiler. The ironing is high pressure and uses innovative technology (NO CALC LONGLIFE) that combats the negative effects of limescale to increase your iron’s lifespan without maintenance.

POLTI KALSTOP

Polti Kalstop is the limescale removal product from Polti for appliances with boilers for ironing and steam cleaning. Polti Kalstop is the only anti-limescale product permitted and that is compatible with Polti La Vaporella.
