Danger of burns!
• Do not put any detergent or chemical substance in the water tank.
• 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 hard water areas we recommend the use of KALSTOP, 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 tap-
water. This is a preventive against lime scale build-up and protects
the metal walls of the steam generator tank. KALSTOP is available
from Polti dealers or by mail-order from your Polti Service Centre.
• We recommend you use original Polti products only, as pro-
ducts of other brands may not be suitable for use in Polti pro-
ducts and could cause damage.
• Never use distilled water or scented water.
• If you iron sitting down, do not put your legs under the ironing board,
the steam can cause burns.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on surfaces that allow the
steam to escape, e.g. mesh ironing boards.
• The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
• When placing the iron on its stand, make sure that the surface on
which the stand is placed is stable.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervi-
sion or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

the appliance.
• The appliance must not be used if it has fallen, been dropped or
