RISKS CONNECTED TO THE POWER SUPPLY – ELECTROCUTION

• The earthing system and highly sensitive residual-current circuit breaker, complete with magnetothermic cut-out for your domestic system, guarantee safe use of electrical appliances. Therefore, for your own safety, check that the electrical system to which the appliance is connected complies with current laws.

• Do not connect the appliance to the mains if the voltage does not correspond with that of the domestic electrical circuit in use.

• Do not overload sockets with adaptors and/or transformers. Only connect the product to a single socket with current that is compatible with the plug supplied.

• Electrical extension leads that are unsuitable for the power rating or which are not compliant with law may overheat and ENGLISH | 23 |possibly lead to short circuiting, fire, power outage or damage to the equipment. Only use extension leads which are certified, suitable for the power rating, supporting 16A and earthed.

• Always turn the appliance off before unplugging it.

• To remove the plug from the socket, do not pull the power cable, but hold the plug itself to avoid damage to the plug and the cable.

• Fully unwind the cable from the cable winder before connecting the appliance to the mains and before use. Always use the product with the cable completely unwound.

• Do not pull or jerk the cable or expose it to tensions (twisting, crushing or stretching). Keep the cable away from hot and/or sharp surfaces and elements. Avoid crushing the cables in doors and windows. Do not pull the cable tight around corners. Avoid treading on the cable.

• Do not obstruct the openings and grills on the product.

• Do not direct the steam jet on any part of the body of people or animals.

• Do not direct the steam jet onto clothes while they are being worn.

• Cloths and rags and fabrics which have been subjected to a deep steam reach very high temperatures, above 100°C. Wait a few minutes and check that they have cooled before handling them. Therefore, avoid contact with the skin if they have just been steamed.

• During use, keep the base in a horizontal position on stable surfaces. The steam lock on the handle guarantees greater safety, as it prevents the accidental activation of steam delivery by children or people who are unaware of the function of the appliance. When steam is not being used, engage the steam lock. To continue steam delivery, return the switch to its original position.

• Always use the appliance with the safety cap supplied or an original replacement part. Using non-original Polti safety caps can lead to accidents.

• When accessing the pressurised boiler (removing the cap, filling up), ensure that the appliance has been switched off at the power switch and disconnected from the mains for at ENGLISH | 25 |least two hours, allowing it to cool. There is a risk of accidents while the boiler is switched on/hot and pressurised.

• Do not connect the appliance with the safety cap removed. Carefully tighten the safety cap before plugging in and turning on the appliance.

• Before turning on the appliance, check that there is nothing blocking the mouth of the boiler (filler bottle, funnel, or other objects), and that the safety cap is closed.

• Check that the safety cap is correctly tightened; if steam is escaping from the cap, switch off the boiler, unplug the power cable, wait for two hours for the appliance to cool, and then unscrew. Check the condition of the safety cap and seal. If the cap is in good condition, screw it back on completely. If steam continues to escape from the cap, leave it to cool for 2 hours, then take the appliance to the nearest authorised service centre.

• Periodically check the condition of the safety cap and seal. Impact and being dropped may compromise the safety of the cap. Replace with an original spare part or replace the seal.

• If the cap spins freely, this indicates that the boiler is still pressurised and therefore hot. Never force the cap open, whether the appliance is switched on or the boiler is switched off and the appliance is disconnected from the mains. Always wait for the boiler to cool for 2 hours before opening the cap without forcing it.

• Do not use tools to unscrew the cap. If the cap cannot be removed, even once the appliance has cooled, go to your nearest authorised service centre.

• 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.

• The use of non-original Polti caps and disregard for the instructions in this manual constitutes improper use. Polti S.p.A. declines all liability for any accident deriving from any improper use of this appliance. ENGLISH

13. GENERAL MAINTENANCE

To clean the outside of the appliance, only use a damp cloth and tap water. All accessories can be cleaned using running water, ensuring they are completely dry before the next use. After using the brushes, we recommend letting the bristles cool down in their natural position, in order to avoid any deformation. Do not use detergents of any type. Regularly check the status of the coloured washer located in the connector assembly. If necessary, replace with the appropriate spare part, as described below. Carry out the same inspection on the connection seals of the handle of the flexible hose, the extension hoses and the accessory adapter. Every 2 months, rinse the boiler with tap water.

14. KALSTOP optional

Kalstop is the limescale product for appliances with boiler for ironing and steam cleaning. Regular use of Kalstop, every time the tank is filled with water: - Extends the life of the appliance. - Allows emission of a “drier” steam - Prevents limescale build up. - Protects the walls of the boiler. - Contributes to saving energy.

WARNING: If, during unscrewing, the cap

spins freely or if steam is escaping, immediately stop the operation, ensuring that the boiler is switched off and the power cable is unplugged from the mains. Wait for the appliance to cool (two hour) and unscrew the cap before removal. TAKE CARE OF YOUR FACE !!! - Remove the damaged washer. - Insert the new washer, attaching it on the steam nozzle and pushing it into place. - Lubricate the gasket with silicone grease or Vaseline, or alternatively with small quantities of vegetable oils.

WARNING: Especially when the appliance

has just been filled, during cleaning and consequently when moving the appliance, a small amount of water may leak out mixed with the steam from the accessories.

WARNING: Never put FrescoVapor in the

boiler. Only use water in the boiler, following the instructions listed in the section 1. ENGLISH | 31 |FrescoVapor is a air freshener that contains natural substances. When mixed with steam it releases a fresh perfume in every space and, thanks to its special composition, it is able to eliminate bad odours. To use FrescoVapor, proceed as follows: - Unscrew the cap (21) of the deodorant reservoir of the steam gun and fill it with FrescoVapor (22). - Screw on the cap. - To adjust the quantity of deodorant, use the adjustment (23), to reduce, to increase. FrescoVapor can be used combined with the steam to clean all surfaces and with all the accessories, as described in the paragraph “Use”. Contents: 200 ml FrescoVapor is on sale at household appliance stores, at Polti authorised service centres or on the site www.polti.com. By increasing the quantity of deodorant, the surface will be slightly damper, since FrescoVapor mixes with the steam being dispensed. To avoid dispensing FrescoVapor, turn the adjustment completely forward ( OFF). The adjustment only determines the quantity of deodorant that mixes with the steam. It does not regulate the quantity of steam. To adjust the quantity of steam, you must use the steam-adjustment dial (9).

WARNING: Before using FrescoVapor on

upholstery, leather, special fabrics and wood surfaces, consult the manufacturer’s instructions and always carry out a test on a hidden part or sample of the material. Allow the steamed part to dry to make sure that no changes in colour or deformations have occurred. ENGLISH | 32 |19.
