[. . . ] PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE USE KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS · Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance, and make sure that anyone using the machine is familiar with these instructions and the warnings. · DO NOT USE THE STEAM FUNCTION ON DRAYLON, VELVET, LEATHER OR OTHER SENSITIVE FABRICS. · Any use which does not comply with these instructions will invalidate the warranty. · The wiring system to which the appliance is connected must always comply with the laws in force. [. . . ] Water by its nature contains magnesium, mineral salts and other deposits which in hard water areas can contribute to limescale build-up in the tank. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to swill out with tapwater and empty the generator tank after every 3 or 4 uses. In hard water areas we recommend the use of KALSTOP, a special natural-base decalcifier which inhibits and breaks down limescale, making it easy to remove just by swilling out the tank with a little tapwater. This is a preventive against lime scale build-up and protects the metal walls of the steam generator tank. KALSTOP is available from Polti dealers or by mail-order from your Polti Service Centre. · Do not try to unscrew the safety cap or empty the appliance whilst water in the boiler is still hot. 28 ENGLISH · Do not refill the boiler while it is still hot. Allow it to cool for a good few minutes before refilling. · Do not open the safety cap while the aplliance is ON. · When REFILLING the generator boiler, use HOT, not cold water. Pour in gradually and gently at first and keep your face and other exposed skin well away. Otherwise the still hot boiler walls may spit drops of very hot water or steam spray. · Make sure the patented safety cap is fully and correctly screwed on, otherwise you may experience steam escaping from around the cap. · Check periodically the safety cap and MAKE SURE the rubber gasket is in place around the base of the screw thread. Replace with original spare parts if necessary. DO NOT USE STEAM FUNCTION if the rubber gasket is not in position. · If you iron sitting down, do not place your legs under the ironing board, the steam can cause burns. · Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on surfaces that allow the steam to escape e. g. · For iron rest mat replacement use only original spare parts.
