POLTI vaporella SILENCE FRIENDLY_8.85 Manual De Instrucciones página 22

1. PREPARATION FOR USE
1.1 Place the boiler on a firm, flat and heat-resistant surface.
1.2 Remove the self-filling tank lid (1) and fill the tank with about
1.2l of water, making sure that it does not overflow.
This operation must always be carried with the power cable
disconnected from the mains.
Thanks to the continuous refill system you do not need to stop the
ironing and wait for the appliance to cool down because the tank
can be filled as needed.
1.3 Replace the lid.
1.4 Connect the cable plug to an earthed power supply of the
correct voltage (2).
1.5 Press the ON/OFF switch (located on the side of the
machine) (3). The ON indicator light and the "Iron heating"
indicator light will turn on.
1.6 Press the boiler switch (4). The "steam ready" and boiler
indicator lights will come on.
The sound emitted on switching on your appliance and
periodically during use, is due to the water refilling system and
is quite normal.
WARNING: When first operating steam, there may be some
drops of water mixed with the steam due to temperature
imbalances.
Direct the first jet of steam onto a rag.
2. IRON TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Before ironing an item of clothing, always check the symbols
on its label, for the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Check, based on the following table, the most appropriate type
of ironing:
High temperature – cotton, linen:
Set the iron temperature adjustment knob to the position
•••
Medium temperature – wool, silk:
Set the iron temperature adjustment knob to the position
••
Low temperature – synthetic, acrylic, nylon, polyester:
Set the iron temperature adjustment knob to the position
- Do not iron
- Steam ironing and steam treatment not allowed
ATTENTION: For low temperature we do not recommend the
use of steam since water could come out from the holes on the
soleplate. For medium temperature alternate the use of steam
and dry ironing to avoid water leaking from the holes on the
soleplate.
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.
3. STEAM IRONING
3.1 Make sure that chapter 1 has been completed and regulate
the temperature of the iron (5)-(6) as described in chapter 2.
3.2 Wait for the "Steam Ready" indicator light
Heating" indicator light to turn off (about 3 minutes).
3.3 Adjust the steam flow by turning the knob in a clockwise
direction to increase the jet of steam (7). Turning it in an
anticlockwise direction reduces the steam flow.
3.4 Press the steam button (8) on the iron to make steam come
out of the holes on the plate. Releasing the button, the flow
stops. Proceed to iron the garments.
When first using the steam, there may be some drops of water
leaking out of the plate, this is due to imperfect thermal
stabilization. We therefore recommend that the first jet of
steam be directed onto a cloth (clean rag).
3.5 To have a continuous jet of steam move the button forward
(9). The steam will continue to come out even when the button
is released. To interrupt the supply, move the button backward
(9).
The indicator lights "Iron heating" turn on and off during use.
This indicates that the electrical resistor has started to work to
keep the pressure of the boiler steady. This is a normal
occurrence, and it is therefore possible to continue ironing.
ATTENTION: Do not place the hot iron on any surface.
Vaporella is equipped with an iron rest mat with soft non-slip
inserts designed to resist high temperatures.
4. VERTICAL IRONING
It is possible to use the iron vertically to remove creases from
fabrics and/or to freshen up the fibres, eliminating possible
residual odours.
•
Hold the iron vertically, push the steam button (8) and touch the
fabric slightly with the soleplate, if the type of fabrics allows it.
5. DRY IRONING
5.1 Make sure that chapter 1 has been completed, leaving the
boiler switch off and regulate the temperature of the iron (5)-
(6) as described in chapter 2.
During dry ironing, if the boiler button is ON, take care not to
push the steam release button on the Iron since some water
drops can come out from the soleplate
