User manual POLTI VAPORETTO 2100

[. . . ] The accessories and all the components are manufactured with highest quality materials which are resistant to the high temperatures attained in the operation of this machine. Connecting it to other power sources may damage the unit. wARNING - This appliance must be earthed. This appliance may be fitted with a non rewirable plug, if it is necessary to change the fuse in a non rewirable plug the fuse cover must be refitted. [. . . ] We would therefore advise that the first jet of steam is played onto an old cloth until a constant pressure of steam is obtained. Note: The pressure indicator light (K) may go on and off from time to time during use of VAPORETTO. This indicates the machine maintaining the correct and constant pressure and is quite normal. Move the connector button (11) back to the position `closed' 4c. All POLTI machines are equipped with the unique Polti patented safety cap, which prevents opening of the generator tank as long as there is any pressure remaining inside the tank. This is an important and indispensable safety device, and it is necessary to follow certain procedures when re-filling the tank. According to model, `water out' is indicated by a warning light (J), or by an audible alarm signal from the machine, or on more basic models by the exhaustion of the steam output. Whenever you have used up all the water in the tank, follow the following procedures: 1b. switch off the machine at the generator on/off switch (B) 2b. Press the steam request lever (3) on the hand gun (2) or, if using the iron, the steam request button (R) on the iron (Q) so as to fully exhaust the steam supply from the tank. Disconnect the power supply cable (F) from the mains. Wait 3 to 4 minutes to allow the generator tank to cool down. When cool proceed to carefully refill the tank as described in paragraph 1 of the section "Preparation for Use" in the instructions. If refilling the generator when not completely cooled, we recommend that you carefully pour only very small quantities of water at each pouring into the tank, so as to avoid spitting from the tank and cover exposed skin whilst filling. For dry ironing set the temperature control dial according to the fabric to be ironed as indicated on the dial. Wait three to four minutes for the indicator (R) to go out indicating that the sole plate of the iron has reached the correct temperature. Releasing this button stops the steam flow. At first you may find that the steam contains some water globules and we recommend that the first jet of steam is therefore played onto an old cloth, and is not directed onto the garment to be ironed. For dry ironing do not press the steam request button (R). The iron can also be used in a vertical position e. Iron only on heat resistant surfaces on and on surfaces that allow the steam to escape e. When cleaning electric ovens, refrigerators, or other electrical equipment, always disconnect the electrical item to be cleaned from the mains before cleaning. [. . . ] Your glass wilI remain cleaner longer thanks to the absence of layers of film normally left behind by chemical cleaning products on which new dust and grease can attach itself. Cleaning glass is done in two stages: - Spraying the steam onto the surface to be cleaned to loosen the dirt (not touching with blade). - Pulling the blade straight down the window surface from top to bottom without applying the steam, to take away the dirt. - To clean especially large glass surfaces, attach the Window Squeegee Tool to the extension tubes.
