ATTENTION: The safety warnings are only shown in this manual.
CORRECT USE OF THE PRODUCT
This appliance is intended for domestic use as an iron with separate boiler, in accordance with the descriptions and instructions contained in this manual. Please read these instructions carefully and keep them. This manual is also available on the website www.polti.com.
POLTI S.p.A. reserves the right to make the aesthetic, technical and construction changes it deems necessary, without prior notice.
Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested. This is the reason why your Polti Vaporella may contain some residual water in the boiler.
Correct use of the product is only as detailed in this instruction manual. Any other use may damage the appliance and invalidate the warranty.
WHICH WATER TO USE IN THE BOILER
This appliance has been designed to function with medium-hardness tap water between 8°f and 20°f. If the tap water is very hard, do not just use demineralised water but a mix composed of 50% tap water and 50% demineralised water which is widely available to purchase.
Warning: check the hardness of the water at the technical office at your local council or the local water supplier.
If you only use tap water, you can reduce the formation of limescale by using the special Polti Kalstop (PAEU0094) anti-limescale product, distributed by Polti, and available for sale at all major domestic-appliance stores or online at www.polti.com.
Do not use distilled water, undiluted demineralised water, rain water or water containing additives (e.g. starch, perfumes), scented water or water produced by other domestic appliances, by water softeners and filter jugs.
Do not add chemical, natural, detergent, or limescale removing substances, etc.
1. PREPARATION FOR USE
1.1 Position Polti Vaporella Next on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.
1.2 Open the lid to fill the tank. Fill the water tank with water up to the MAX level marked on the water tank (1).
This operation must always be carried out with the power cable disconnected from the mains.
You can fill up the tank when necessary, with-
out stopping and waiting for the appliance to cool.
1.3 Close the cap.
1.4 Unwind the power cable and insert the plug in an appropriate mains socket (2), which is earthed. The light on the switch ⏻ will start to flash. Take out and unwind the steam hose. 1.5 To turn on the appliance press. The light on the switch will change from flashing to constant (3) and the iron heating light (4) will also come on.
The sound emitted on switching on your appliance and periodically during use, is due to the water refilling system and is quite normal.
2. IRON TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Before ironing an item of clothing, always check the symbols on its label, for the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Check, based on the following table, the most appropriate type of ironing:
| High temperature - cotton, linen:Set the iron temperature adjustment knob to the position··· | |
| Medium temperature - wool, silk:Set the iron temperature adjustment knob to the position··· | |
| Low temperature - synthetic, acrylic, nylon, polyester:Set the iron temperature adjustment knob to the position · | |
| - Do not iron- Steam ironing and steam treatment not allowed |
WARNING: For low temperature we do not recommend the use of steam since water could come out from the holes on the sole-plate. For medium temperature alternate the use of steam and dry ironing to avoid water leaking from the holes on the soleplate.
Divide the laundry according to the symbols on the garment labels or according to the kind of fabric. Always start 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 3.1 Make sure that section 1 has been completed and regulate the temperature of the iron (6) as described in section 2
3.2 Wait until the "steam ready" indicator (
) of Polti Vaporella Next (5) is on and constant and the iron heating indicator light (4) is off.
3.3 Press the steam button on the iron (7) to make the steam come out from the holes in the soleplate. Start ironing the garments. Releasing the button, the flow stops.
When first using the steam, there may be some drops of water leaking out of the plate, this is due to imperfect thermal stabilization. We therefore recommend that the first jet of steam be directed onto a cloth.
The heating indicator light turns on and off during use. This indicates that the electrical resistor has started to work to keep the temperature in the iron steady: continue ironing normally.
WARNING: Do not place the hot iron directly on any surface. Polti Vaporella is equipped with an iron rest mat with soft non-slip inserts designed to resist high temperatures.
4. STEAM PULSE FUNCTION
(only for models POLTI VAPORELLA NEXT VN18.65 - VN18.45 - VN18.40 - VN18.35 - VN18.30 - VN18.25 - VN18.20)
The STEAM PULSE function (intermittent steam) can be activated for quick and easy ironing, by double-clicking on the steam button of the iron (7). The intermittent steam penetrates further into the fabric, speeding up and improving the ironing. In this mode, the iron will alternate between emitting steam and not emitting steam.
To deactivate this function, press the steam button of the iron again.
To reactivate, repeat the procedure from the beginning.
The Steam Pulse function is also recommended for vertical ironing.
5. VERTICAL IRONING
It is possible to use the iron vertically to remove creases from fabrics and/or to freshen up the fibres, eliminating possible residual odours.
Hold the iron in a vertical position, press the steam button (7), and if permissible based on the type of fabric, touch the fabric lightly with the plate.
6. DRY IRONING
Make sure that section 1 has been followed, adjusting the temperature of the iron (6) to the lowest temperature as in section 2. Continue with the ironing without pressing the steam button on the iron.
During dry ironing, take care not to push the steam release button on the iron since some water drops can come out from the soleplate.
7. ECO FUNCTION
(only for models POLTI VAPORELLA NEXT VN18.65 - VN18.45 - VN18.40 - VN18.35 - VN18.30)
With the ECO function, Polti Vaporella Next automatically sets the steam pressure for significant energy savings and at the same time ensures excellent performance for ironing all fabrics, including the most resistant ones (cotton / jeans / linen).
To activate or deactivate the ECO function, just press the ECO button on the appliance (8).
8. TURBO FUNCTION
Using the TURBO function, you can quickly and easily iron even the heaviest fabrics, smoothing out the most stubborn creases in one go.
Do not use this mode for ironing synthetic, silk and wool clothing.
To activate this function, just press the TURBO button on the appliance (9). The Turbo function has a maximum duration of 10 minutes. To reactivate it just press the TURBO switch again.
9. 360° FLUID CURVE TECHNOLOGY PLATE
The innovative multidirectional rounded sole-plate with a scratch-resistant covering allows for 360^ ironing. The pointed tip reaches the most difficult areas and the concentration of steam in this area smooths even the most stubborn creases. The channels distribute the steam evenly, making the iron slide more easily for faster ironing with less effort.
10. AUTOMATIC SWITCH-OFF
After 10 minutes without use (calculated from the last operation carried out on the appliance), the boiler and the iron switch off automatically. The indicator light ⏻ flashes.
To re-activate the appliance, press the switch ⏻.
11. OUT OF WATER
A lack of water in the tank is identified by the out-of-water light coming on ( ) (10).
To restart operations just fill the water tank again as described in section 1.
12. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance on the device, always unplug it from the power mains making sure that the product has cooled down before proceeding.
To clean the outside of the appliance, use only use a damp cloth.
Do not use detergents of any type.
For good maintenance of the boiler we suggest using Polti Kalstop, the special anti-limescale product, distributed by Polti, and available for sale at all major domestic-appliance stores or online at www.polti.com.
Clean the iron soleplate when it is completely cold with a damp cloth or with a non-abrasive sponge.
