I M P O R TA N T Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested. For this reason, your VAPORETTO may contain some residual water in the boiler from the testing. SET UP Before using VAPORETTO for the first time assemble the pivoting wheels as indicated in the Fig. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and fill the boiler with about 2 litres of water using the filler bottle (14) 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, available from your Polti dealer or by mail order from your Polti service Centre. Carefully screw on the safety cap to hand tight (Fig. Make sure the patented safety cap (A) is fully and correctly screwed on, otherwise you may experience steam escaping from around the cap. For STEAM ironing, turn the dial (S) and set the iron temperature to its maximum travel on the "COTTON-LINEN" steam position. NB YOU MUST SET AT ITS MAXIMUM POSITION, DO NOT SET AGAINST PICTURE OF THE IRON ON THE DIAL (S). Most types of fabric, other than delicates can be STEAM ironed at this temperature, please consult the garment manufacturer's instructions on the label. NB fabric indications on dial are for DRY ironing, NOT steam ironing. Wait for a few minutes until the "Iron heating" indicator light (V) goes off, to show ENGLISH 46 VAPORELLA FOREVER 870 that the soleplate of the iron has reached the required temperature. Press the steam request button (R) to enable the steam to come out. The steam flow will stop when the button is released. After each filling, when you first start to use the iron, a few drops of water mixed with the steam may be emitted (due to imperfect heat stabilisation). It is therefore advisable to direct the first jet of steam onto a rag. The iron can also be used in a vertical position e. g. for removing creases from curtain, clothing etc. [. . . ] The treatment can be repeated as frequently as you wish, with no damage whatsoever. Drying occurs practically at once. Particularly dirty rugs may need several treatments. Obstinate stains may require the use of the steam gun (at a distance of 5-10 cm) prior to treatment. SMALL BRUSH (12) The small brush is used whenever the big brush is too big or not practical to be used. [. . . ]
