1a. Unscrew the patented safety cap (5) and fill the boiler with about
0.9 litres of water using the special funnel (9) making sure that it
does not overflow (fig. 1).
Normal tapwater can be used. However, as water by its nature
contains limestone, which may cause build-up of limescale in the
boiler, in hard water areas we recommend the use of our natu-
ral-base decalcifier Kalstop FP 2003.
2a. Screw the cap fully and carefully. Make sure the patented safety
cap (5) is fully and correctly screwed on, otherwise you may
experience steam escaping from the cap.
3a. Connect the power cable into an earthed power supply of the
correct voltage.
4a. Switch on the boiler and iron by pressing the switches (2) and (4)
(fig. 2).
NOTE: during the filling operation, be careful that the water does not
overflow as it may come out and wet the surface where Vaporella is
laid.

Before ironing a garment, it is always a good idea to check the sym-
bols appearing on the label and the instructions provided by the gar-
ment manufacturer.
Check which kind of ironing is recommended, referring to the table
below:
STEAM IRONING
1b. Set the iron temperature on the “COTTON - LINEN” position (fig.
3), by turning the knob (1).
2b. Wait until the boiler switch (2) and the “Iron heating” indicator
light (3a) switch off (about 15 minutes). Press the button (3) on
the iron to make steam come out of the holes on the soleplate.
Releasing the button, the steam stops (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 tempe-
rature stabilizes. It is advisable to direct the first jets of steam
onto an old cloth until a uniform stable jet of steam is obtained.
DRY IRONING
1c. For dry ironing:
• Plug the cable in.
• Press the iron switch (4), leaving the boiler switch (2) off .
• Adjust the soleplate temperature by turning the knob (1), set the
temperature according to the kind of fabric.
NOTE:
• The boiler switch (2) and the “Iron heating” indicator light (3a) go
on and off during usage. This means that the heating element is
working correctly to keep a constant pressure in the boiler. This is
a correct functioning, just continue ironing as usual.
• If no steam comes out of the iron, check the following: the “Iron
heating” indicator light (3a) is OFF; there is water in the boiler.

Your Vaporella is equipped with the unique Polti patented safety cap,
which prevents opening of the boiler as long as there is any pressu-
re remaining inside the tank. This is an important and indispensable
safety device, and it is necessary to follow certain procedures when
re-filling the boiler.
When no more water comes out of the iron, do as follows:
1d. Switch off the boiler (2).
2d Press the steam button on the iron (3) so as to fully exhaust the
steam supply from the boiler.
3d. Switch off the iron (4) .
4d. Disconnect the power cable from the mains.
5d. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety cap (5).
6d. Wait for a few minutes allowing the boiler to cool down.
7d. When cool, carefully refill the boiler as described in paragraph 1a
of the section “PREPARATION FOR USE”. If you refill the boiler
when not completely cooled, we recommend to pour only very
small quantities of water, so as to avoid its immediate evapora-
tion.
