User manual POLTI VAPORELLA FOREVER 900

[. . . ] Never leave the appliance unattended with the cable plugged into the mains. · Always make sure the appliance is unplugged before performing maintenance work of any kind · Do not pull the power supply cable out of the socket, but grasp the plug itself to avoid damage to the socket. · Do not allow the power supply cable to be twisted, crushed, stretched, or come into contact with sharp or hot surfaces. · Do not use the appliance if the power cable or other important parts are damaged. [. . . ] · Do not put any detergent or chemical substance in the water tank. · Water by its nature contains magnesium, mineral salts and other deposits which in hard water areas can contribute to lime- scale 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. · We recommend you use original Polti products only, as products of other brands may not be suitable for use in Polti products and could cause damage. · Never use distilled water or scented water. · If you iron sitting down, do not put 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. · The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface. · When placing the iron on its stand, make sure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable. · This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. · Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
