•When
Refilling
the boiler,
pour in
gently at first and keep your face away. Otherwise the still hot
boiler walls can spit drops of very hot water or steam spray.
• Do not put any detergent or chemical substance in the boiler.
Water by its nature contains magnesium, mineral salts and other
deposits which in hard water areas can contribute to limescale
build up in the boiler. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to
swill out with tapwater and empty the boiler after every 3 or 4
uses.In very hard water areas we recommend the use of our
KALSTOP FP 2003, a special natural-base decalcifier which
inhibits and breaks down limescale, making it easy to remove
just by swilling out the boiler with a little tapwater. This is a pre-
ventive against scale build-up and protects the metal walls of the
boiler. KALSTOPis available from Polti dealers or by mail-order
from your Polti Service Centre.
• Make sure the patented safety cap is fully and correctly screwed
on, otherwise you may experience steam escaping from the
cap.
• Do not refill the boiler while it is still hot, let it cool down for a few
minutes before refilling.
• Do not empy the appliance when the water in the boiler is still
hot.
• Do not try to unscrew the safety cap when the appliance is in
use.
• Check periodically the safety cap and the related gasket, replace
them with original spare parts if necessary.
• If you iron sitting down, do not place 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.
