[. . . ] Always make sure the appliance is unplugged before performing maintenance work of any kind Do not pull the power cord out of the socket, but grasp the plug itself to avoid damage to the socket. Do not allow the power cord 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 use electric extension leads that are not authorized by the manufacturer, as they may cause damage or fire. [. . . ] Check that the continuous steam request button is switched off before connecting the appliance to the mains. I M P O R TA N T · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Never place your hands inside the jet of steam. · When Refilling the generator tank, use HOT rather than cold water, pour in gently at first and keep your face away. Otherwise the still hot tank walls can spit drops of very hot water or steam spray. · Do not put any detergent or chemical substance in the boiler. 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 very hard water areas we recommend the use of our KALSTOP FP 2003, 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 scale Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested. However, your VAPORELLA may contain some residual water in the boiler.

Unscrew the patented safety cap (5) and fill the boiler with about 0. 9 litres of water using the special funnel (9) making sure that it does not overflow (fig. However, as hard water by its nature contains limestone, which may cause a build-up of limescale in the tank, in hard water areas we recommend the use of our natural-base decalcifier Kalstop FP 2003. Ensure the patented safety cap (5) is fully and correctly screwed on, otherwise you may experience steam escaping from around the cap. Connect the power supply cable into an earthed power supply of the correct voltage. Switch on the boiler and iron by pressing the switches (2) and (4) (fig. NOTE: during the filling operation, be careful that the water does not overflow as it may come out and wet the surface where Vaporella is laid. Set the iron temperature to the "COTTON LINEN" steam position (fig. All types of fabric can be ironed at this temperature. Wait until the boiler switch (2) and the "Iron heating" indicator light (3a) switch off (about 15 minutes). [. . . ] WARNING - This appliance must be earthed.
