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 lime-
scale build-up in the tank. To avoid these problems, it is neces-
sary 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 inhi-
bits and breaks down limescale, making it easy to remove just
by swilling out the tank with a little tapwater. This is a preventi-
ve 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
products of other brands may not be suitable for use in
Polti products 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 supervision or instruction concerning use of the applian-
ce by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
