ironing with the garments that require the
lowest temperature, in order to reduce the
waiting times and avoid the risk of burning
the fabrics.
3. STEAM IRONING
3.1 Make sure that chapter 1 has been comple-
ted and regulate the temperature of the iron
(7) as described in chapter 2
3.2 Wait for the "Steam Ready" indicator light
( ) and "Iron Heating" indicator light to turn
off.
3.3 Adjust the steam flow by turning the knob
in a clockwise direction to increase the jet of
steam (8). Turning it in an anticlockwise di-
rection reduces the steam flow.
3.4 Press the steam button (9) on the iron to
make steam come out of the holes on the pla-
te. Releasing the button, the flow stops.
3.5 To have a continuous jet of steam move
the button forward (10). The steam will conti-
nue to come out even when the button is re-
leased. To interrupt the supply, move the but-
ton backward (10).
The indicator lights "Iron heating" and "Steam
ready" turn on and off during use. This indica-
tes that the electrical resistor has started to
work to keep the pressure of the boiler
steady. This is a normal occurrence, and it is
therefore possible to continue ironing.
WARNING: Do not place the hot iron on any
surface. Polti Vaporella is equipped with an
iron rest mat with soft non-slip inserts
designed to resist high temperatures.
4. VERTICAL IRONING
It is possible to use the iron vertically to re-
move creases from fabrics and/or to freshen
up the fibres, eliminating possible residual
odours.
Hold the iron vertically, push the steam but-
ton (8) and touch the fabric slightly with the
soleplate, if the type of fabrics allows it.

5. DRY IRONING
5.1 Ensure that Chapter 1 has been followed,
keeping the boiler switch turned off, adju-
sting the temperature of the iron (7) as de-
scribed in Chapter 2.
When ironing dry, pay attention not to press
the steam button, since water could leak

6. OUT OF WATER
The lack of water in the boiler is identified by
the out-of-water light coming on( ).
WARNING: Never fill the boiler as soon as
the safety cap has been opened when the
boiler is still hot, even if the appliance is
unplugged from the mains. On contact with
the hot, empty boiler, cold water will
evaporate producing a spray of steam which
can cause burns. Only fill the boiler when
cold and always keep your face away from
the boiler mouth when filling.
WARNING: Steam.
Risk of scalding!
To continue with use, proceed as follows:
• Switch off the OFF/boiler switch.
• Operate the steam request button on the
iron until the steam stops flowing.
• Turn off the iron switch.
• Unplug from the mains electricity.
• Wait ten minutes and remove the safety
cap, unscrewing it without force.
• Leave the appliance to cool for another 10
minutes.
• Fill the boiler as indicated in Chapter 1.
• Carefully screw the safety cap back on,
checking that it is completely closed.
WARNING: If, during unscrewing, the cap
spins freely or if steam is escaping, immedia-
tely stop the operation, ensuring that the
boiler is switched off and the power cable is
unplugged from the mains. Wait for the ap-
pliance to cool (two hour) and unscrew the
cap before removal. TAKE CARE OF YOUR
FACE !!!
