By nature, water contains magnesium, mineral salts and other deposits that favour the formation of scale. To prevent these deposits from causing damage to the appliance, the ideal solution is represented by the use of KALSTOP FP 2003, a special natural descaling agent that removes scale. This 27 ENGLISH VAC 300 ECO PROGRAM allows avoiding scale formation and protecting the metal walls of the boiler. KALSTOP can be found in small appliance stores and Polti service centres. Alternatively, we recommend using a 50/50 mixture of tap water and demineralised water. This is the reason why your VAPORELLA may contain some residual water in the boiler. · · · · · · · · · ENGLISH · · · · CORRECT USE OF THE PRODUCT 28 VAC 300 ECO PROGRAM PREPARATION FOR USE · Pull up the self-refilling tank lid (1) (Fig. 1) and fill the tank with 1, 2l of water, making sure it does not overflow. Ordinary tap water may also be used. However, since water contains limestone by nature, which may cause scaling in the long run, we recommend using a 50/50 mixture of tap water and demineralised water or treated with softening systems. To use tap water only and avoid scale formation, we recommend the addition of the special natural scale removal agent Kalstop FP 2003. Do not use demineralised water alone, but mix it with tap water as described above. Never use distilled water or scented water. · Slowly pull out the power cable (9) to the desired length as shown in (fig. · Connect the cable plug to an earthed power supply of the correct voltage. The ON indicator light (A) and the "Iron heating" indicator light (11) will turn on. · The sound emitted on switching on your appliance and periodically during use, is due to the water refilling system and is quite normal. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Check the manufacturer's label on the garment, and interpret the symbol on the label as follows: · It is best not to use steam when ironing silk or synthetics, as iron temperature and pressure will be enough to ensure good results.
