PAT E N T E D S A F E T Y C A P / ' WAT E R O U T ' 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. `Water out' is indicated by a warning light (J). Whenever you have used up all the water in the tank, follow the following procedures: 1c. Switch off the machine at the generator on/off switch (B) 2c. 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. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety cap (A) 5c. Wait for a few 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.
