M A I N S ( A C ) O P E R AT I O N This unit is designed to operate on 240V, 50 Hz current only. Connecting it to other power sources may damage the unit. WARNING - This appliance must be earthed. [. . . ] 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. I M P O R TA N T Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested. However, your VAPORETTO may contain some residual water in the boiler. SET UP Before using VAPORETTO for the first time assemble the pivoting wheels as indicated in the diagram A. P R E PA R AT I O N F O R U S E 1. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and fill the generator with 2 litres of water, using the special funnel (14) (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. Carefully screw on the safety cap to hand tight (Fig. Connect the power supply cable (F) into an earthed power supply of the correct voltage. USE OF THE PROFESSIONAL STRENGTH PRESSING IRON 1d. Connect the connector block at the end of the iron hose (4) to the generator as shown in point 2a of the section "Instruction for Use". For all steam ironing, position the temperature indicator dial (F) to the position "COTONE - LINO". For dry ironing set the temperature control dial according to the fabric to be ironed as indicated on the dial. Wait for a few minutes for the indicator (R) to go out indicating that the sole plate of the iron has reached the correct temperature. Press the steam request button on the iron (R) to allow the steam to exit. 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). In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the button (U) forwards. Steam will keep on coming out, even if you release the button. To interrupt the outlet, move the button (U) backwards. The iron can also be used in a vertical position e. g. for removing creases from curtains, clothing etc. IMPORTANT · Do not leave the iron unattended whilst connected to the mains. · Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on surfaces that allow the steam to escape e. g. · ATTENTION: if you iron sitting down, do not place your legs under the ironing board, the steam can cause burns. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 1a. [. . . ] Obstinate stains may require the use of the steam gun prior to treatment. SMALL BRUSH (12) The small brush is designed to perform the same operation as the large brush, only on smaller surfaces. It can be connected to the steam gun with one or two extension tubes (7). For cleaning furniture spray the steam onto a dry cotton cloth then wipe with the cloth. [. . . ]
