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 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.
