Dear Customer, Thank you for the confidence you have placed in POLTI in buying this product. Before using it, we recommend that you follow the operating instructions closely. VAPORELLA PRO 4100 R is one of the latest generation of professional irons. Our team of design engineers has equipped it with features to make it work even more safely and efficiently:

• The patented safety cap, a result of POLTI’s technology, which prevents the device being opened (including by accident) if there is the slightest pressure inside it.
• The 0.9 litre capacity generator is made of Extra Al-P, a special aluminium alloy which guarantees its long life and prevents limescale build up.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE USE

• Before using your Vaporella carefully read these usage instructions.
• Before connecting Vaporella to the mains make sure that the current is the same as indicated for the machine and that the plug is an earthed plug.
• Do not introduce any detergent or chemical substance into the generator tank. If your tap water is very hard, please use our special decalcifier TP 2000 PROGRESSO CASA with a natural basis, which is sold in all Polti services. Do not use in any case distilled water.
• Switching on the appliance, be sure that the button for continuous steam jet has not been activated.
• Do not refill the tank while it is still hot, allow it to cool down for a few minutes before refilling.
• During filling and refilling we recommend you to disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.
• Never empty Vaporella when the water inside the generator tank is still hot.
• Do not place the appliance in water or in any other liquids.
• Do not touch the appliance with wet hands or feet whilst the appliance is connected to the mains.
• Never leave the appliance unattended whilst it is connected to the mains.
• Do not allow Vaporella to be used by children or by people who are not familiar with the usage instructions.
• We recommend that the appliance is disconnected from the mains whenever it is not in use. ENGLISH I M P O R TA N T Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested. For this reason your Vaporella contains a small quantity of water and on first use we recommend that you do not add further water until all existing water in the tank has been exhausted and allowed to escape as steam.

1. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and fill the boiler

with about 0.9 litres of ordinary tap water using the special funnel (I) making sure that it does not overflow (fig. 1).

2. Retighten the cap fully and carefully.

3. Connect the power supply cable (D) into an earthed

power supply of the correct voltage (230V - 240V). Fig. 2

4. Switch on the boiler and iron by pressing the switches

(B) and (C) which will light up (fig. 2).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

5. Set the iron temperature to the “COTTON - LINEN” steam

position (fig. 3), by turning the knob (G). All types of fabric can be ironed at this temperature. When dry ironing, set the knob (G) to the required temperature for the fabric, shown on the rotating indicator. Fig. 3 ENGLISH Fig. 4

6. Wait for the generator on/off switch (B) to go out (about

10 minutes). Push button (H) on the iron to release bursts of steam from the holes on the soleplate. Release the button and the steam will stop (fig. 4). NOTE: during initial operation of the iron, a few drops of water mixed with steam may come out of the soleplate until the temperature stabilises. It is advisable to direct the first jets of steam onto an old cloth until a uniform stable jet of steam is obtained. Fig. 5

8. By turning the steam flow control knob (L) you can vary

the amount of steam according to the type of textile to be ironed (more or less delicate). You can use this control to increase the steam flow by turning in anti-clockwise direction. Turning the control in a clockwise direction reduces the steam flow (fig. 6). Fig. 6

7. In order to have a continuous steam jet, press the button

(J). Steam will keep on coming out, even releasing the button. To interrupt the outlet press button (H) (fig. 5).

ENGLISH PAT E N T E D S A F E T Y C A P / “ WAT E R O U T ” All Polti machines are equipped with the unique Polti patented safety cap, which prevents opening of the generator tank as long as there is any pressure remaining inside the tank. This is an important and indispensable safety device, and it is necessary to follow certain procedures when re-filling the tank. Whenever when you have used up all the water in the tank, do as follow : 1a. Switch off the machine at the generator on/off switch (B). 2a. Press the steam request button on the iron (H) so as to fully exhaust the steam supply from the tank. 3a. Disconnect the power supply cable (D) from the mains. 4a. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety cap (A). 5a. Wait 3 or 4 minutes to allow the generator tank to cool down. 6a. When cool proceed to carefully refill the tank as described in paragraph 3 of the section “PREPARATION FOR USE” in the instructions. If refilling the generator when not completely cooled, we recommend that you carefully pour only very small quantities of water at each pouring into the tank, so as to avoid spitting from the tank. I M P O R TA N T

• Do not leave the iron unattended whilst connected to the mains.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on surfaces that allow the steam to escape e. g. mash ironing boards.
• Ensure the patented safety cap is fully and correctly screwed on, otherwise you may experience steam escaping from around the cap.
• The generator on/off switch (B) may go on and off from time to time during use of Vaporella. This indicates the machine maintaining the correct and constant pressure and is quite normal.
• If no steam is released from the iron, check the following: there is water in the boiler; the steam control switch (L) is set to one of the “Steam” settings.
• If repairs or replacement parts are required, and in particular the special safety cap, use only original Polti replacement parts.
• The appliance is fitted with a safety thermostat, which should only be replaced by an authorised technician.
• If it is necessary to replace the power supply cable, please refer to the nearest Polti authorised service centre, since the use of special tool is necessary.
• In the case of breakdown or malfunction do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself but refer to your nearest authorised service centre. ENGLISH C A R E O F Y O U R VA P O R E L L A
• Before attempting any maintenance operation, be sure to always disconnect the appliance from the mains.
• To maintain efficient performance, we recommend emptying and flushing out the generator with tap water at least once a month; this operation flushes away the scale deposits inside the generator. Never empty the Vaporella when the water in the generator is still hot.
• To clean the body of the appliance, simply use a moist cloth. Do not use solvents or detergents which may harm the body material. GUARANTEE The Vaporella is guaranteed to the original purchaser for one year from purchase date against manufacturing or raw material defects. The guarantee is not valid if the appliance has been misused in any way. Unauthorised alterations or repairs to the machine will automatically invalidate this guarantee.
• Polti declines liability for any damage or accident derived from any use of Vaporella which is not in conformity with the instructions contained in this booklet. ENGLISH

HOW TO ACHIEVE PERFECT IRONING

To achieve perfect ironing using conventional irons, you have to iron the fabric several times with the hot iron to dry all residual moisture. The Stiro Professional Vaporella, the revolutionary New-Concept professional ironing board by Polti, is heated and incorporates a vacuum-press for effortless professional results. Perfect ironing is dependent on these two characteristics: the suction which locks the garment on the board, so preventing the formation of annoying wrinkles which are so difficult to eliminate on conventional ironing boards, and the heated board which dries the fabrics and makes ironing easier, faster and less laborious. The Stiro Professional Vaporella offers high comfort during ironing:

• a solid, strong, height adjustable metal structure
• a large working surface
• a space-saving boiler holder under the board
• minimum dimensions when folded. ASK YOUR LOCAL DEALER FOR A DEMONSTRATION OF STIRO PROFESSIONAL VAPORELLA - HE’LL BE GLAD TO INTRODUCE YOU TO PERFECT IRONING. NEDERLANDS
