Danger of burns!
• 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 KAL-
STOP FP 2003, a special natural-base decalcifier which inhibits
and breaks down limescale, making it easy to remove just by swil-
ling out the boiler with a little tapwater. This is a preventive against
scale build-up and protects the metal walls of the boiler. KALSTOP
is available from Polti dealers or by mail-order from your Polti
Service Centre.
• Do not use demineralised water alone, but mix it with tap water as
described above.
• Never use distilled
water or scented water.
• 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 open the safety cap while the appliance is in use.
• 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.
• 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.
