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.
According to model, ‘water out’ is indicated by a warning light (J), or by an audible alarm
signal from the machine, or on more basic models by the exhaustion of the steam output.
Whenever you have used up all the water in the tank, follow the following procedures:
1c. Switch off the machine at the generator on/off switch (B)
2c. Press the steam request lever (3) on the hand gun (2) or, if using the iron, the steam
request button (R) on the iron (Q) so as to fully exhaust the steam supply from the tank.
3c. Disconnect the power supply cable (F) from the mains.
4c. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety cap (A)
5c. Wait 3 to 4 minutes to allow the generator tank to cool down.
6c. When cool proceed to carefully refill the tank as described in paragraph 1 of the sec-
tion “Preparation for Use” in the instructions. If refilling the generator when not com-
pletely 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 and cover
exposed skin whilst filling.

1d. Connect the connector block at the end of the iron hose (4) to the generator as shown
in point 2A of the section “Instruction for Use”.
2d. For all steam ironing, position the temperature indicator dial (F) to the position
“COTONE - LINO”. For dry ironing set the temperature control dial according to the
fabric to be ironed as indicated on the dial.
3d. Wait three to four minutes for the indicator (R) to go out indicating that the sole plate
of the iron has reached the correct temperature.
4d. Press the steam request button on the iron (R) to allow the steam to exit. Releasing
this button stops the steam flow. At first you may find that the steam contains some
water globules and we recommend that the first jet of steam is therefore played onto
an old cloth, and is not directed onto the garment to be ironed.
For dry ironing do not press the steam request button (R).
5d. In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the button (U) forwards. Steam will keep
on coming out, even if you release the button. To interrupt the outlet, move the but-
ton (U) backwards.
6d. The iron can also be used in a vertical position e.g. for removing creases from cur-
tain, clothing etc.
IMPORTANT
• Do not leave the iron unattended whilst connected to the mains.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces on and on surfaces that allow the steam to escape
e.g. mesh ironing boards.
