pliance. When steam is not being used, engage the steam lock.
To continue steam delivery, return the switch to its original
position.
• Always use the appliance with the safety cap supplied or an
original replacement part. Using non-original Polti safety caps
can lead to accidents.
• When accessing the pressurised boiler (removing the cap, fil-
ling up), ensure that the appliance has been switched off at
the power switch and disconnected from the mains for at
least two hours, allowing it to cool. There is a risk of accidents
while the boiler is a switched on/hot and pressurised.
• Do not connect the appliance with the safety cap removed.
Carefully tighten the safety cap before plugging in and tur-
ning on the appliance.
• Before turning on the appliance, check that there is nothing
blocking the mouth of the boiler (filler bottle, funnel, or other
objects), and that the safety cap is closed.
• Check that the safety cap is correctly tightened; if steam is
escaping from the cap, switch off the boiler, unplug the
power cable, wait for two hours for the appliance to cool, and
then unscrew. Check the condition of the safety cap and seal.
If the cap is in good condition, screw it back on completely. If
steam continues to escape from the cap, take the appliance
to the nearest authorised service centre.
• Periodically check the condition of the safety cap and seal.
Impact and being dropped may compromise the safety of the
cap. Replace with an original spare part or replace the seal.
• If the cap spins freely, this indicates that the boiler is still pres-
surised and therefore hot. Never force the cap open, whether
the appliance is switched on or the boiler is switched off and
the appliance is disconnected from the mains. Always wait for
the boiler to cool, opening the cap without force.
• Do not use tools to unscrew the cap. If the cap cannot be re-
moved, even once the appliance has cooled, go to your nea-
rest authorised service centre.
