Descaling steps:

Completely empty the main water tank
Place the device on its side to access the boiler cap (12)
Carefully unscrew the boiler cap

Drain the used water into the sink or a container
If the water is dirty, rinse again - repeat until the water is clear

Question 2

How to clean the holes in the soleplate of the Polti Vaporella Next VN18.35 iron?

Accepted Answer

To effectively clean the holes in the soleplate of your Polti Vaporella Next VN18.35 iron, start by ensuring that the device has completely cooled down and is unplugged from the electrical outlet. This step is essential for your safety and to avoid damaging the soleplate.

Once the device has cooled down, clean the soleplate of the iron with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive sponge. Do not use cleaning products, as they may damage the ceramic surface of the soleplate and the steam outlet holes. Gently wipe the soleplate, focusing on areas where limescale deposits are concentrated. If residues persist in the holes, you can use a damp cotton swab to gently clear the openings and check that steam can flow freely.

To prevent limescale buildup in the holes of the soleplate and in the boiler, use the anti-limescale product Polti Kalstop with each water refill of the tank. This product is distributed by Polti and available in the best appliance stores or on the website www.polti.fr. Regular use of Kalstop extends the lifespan of the device and maintains optimal steam diffusion.

If you live in an area with very hard water, you can also mix 50 percent tap water with 50 percent demineralized water to reduce tartar formation. However, do not use only pure demineralized water, as this could affect the operation of the device.

If the Calc Cleaning maintenance light comes on your iron, it means it is time to perform a complete descaling of the boiler. The Polti Vaporella Next VN18.35 manual describes a special multi-step procedure that allows you to automatically clean the boiler and restore the optimal performance of the device. Refer to chapter 13 of the manual for detailed descaling instructions.

Regular maintenance of the holes in the soleplate and the boiler every 3 to 6 months, depending on the hardness of your water, ensures even steam diffusion and significantly extends the lifespan of your Polti Vaporella Next VN18.35.
