WARNING: If steam is escaping from the
safety cap, switch the appliance off and
unplug it from the mains. Wait for two hour
for the appliance to cool before unscrewing
the cap and screwing it back on.
WARNING: Never leave the filling bottle or
the funnel resting on the mouth of the
boiler, with the product connected to the
power supply, since this could cause burns.
WARNING: When first operating steam,
there may be some drops of water mixed
with
the
steam
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 and select the
most appropriate temperature on the iron
(7):
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, ny-
lon, polyester:
Set the iron temperature adjustment knob
to the position •
- Do not iron
- Steam ironing and steam treatment not
allowed
WARNING: For low temperature we do not
recommend the use of steam since water
could come out from the holes on the
soleplate.
For
alternate the use of steam and dry ironing
to avoid water leaking from the holes on the
soleplate.

3. STEAM IRONING
3.1 Make sure that chapter 1 has been comple-
ted and regulate the temperature of the iron
(7) as described in chapter 2
3.2 Wait for the "Steam Ready" indicator light
( ) and "Iron Heating" indicator light to turn
off.
3.3 Adjust the steam flow by turning the knob
in a clockwise direction to increase the jet of
steam (8). Turning it in an anticlockwise di-
rection reduces the steam flow.
3.4 Press the steam button (9) on the iron to
make steam come out of the holes on the pla-
te. Releasing the button, the flow stops. Pro-
ceed to iron the garments.
3.5 To have a continuous jet of steam move
the button forward (10). The steam will conti-
nue to come out even when the button is re-
leased. To interrupt the supply, move the but-
ton backward (10).
The indicator lights "Iron heating" and
"Steam ready" 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 iro-
ning.
WARNING: 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 re-
move creases from fabrics and/or to freshen
up the fibres, eliminating possible residual
odours.
Hold the iron vertically, push the steam but-
ton (8) and touch the fabric slightly with the
soleplate, if the type of fabrics allows it.
5. DRY IRONING
5.1 Ensure that Chapter 1 has been followed,
keeping the boiler switch turned off, adju-
sting the temperature of the iron (7) as de-
scribed in Chapter 2.
When ironing dry, pay attention not to
press the steam button, since water could
the
leak from the plate.
