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
hard water by its nature contains limestone,
which may cause a build-up of limescale in
the tank, in hard water areas we recommend
the use of our natural-base decalcifier
Kalstop FP 2003.
2a.Retighten the cap fully and carefully. Ensure
the patented safety cap (5) is fully and correc-
tly screwed on, otherwise you may experien-
ce steam escaping from around the cap.
3a.Connect the power supply cable into an ear-
thed 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.

STEAM IRONING
1b.Set the iron temperature to the “COTTON -
LINEN” steam position (fig. 3), by turning the
knob (1). All types of fabric can be ironed at
this temperature.
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 release steam out of the steam holes on
the soleplate. Releasing the button, the
steam stops.
3b.In order to have a continuous steam jet, move
the button (3b) forwards. Steam will keep on
coming out, even if you release the button. To
interrupt the outlet, move the button (3b)
backwards (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 temperatu-
re stabilises. 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 turning the
knob (1) setting to the temperature required
according to the type of fabric.
NOTE:
• The boiler switch (2) and the “Iron heating”
indicator light (3a) goes 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 normal.
• If no steam is released from the iron, check the
following: the “Iron heating” indicator light (3a)
is switched off; there is water in the boiler.

Your Vaporella is equipped with the unique Polti
patented safety cap, which prevents opening of
the generator tank as long as there is any pres-
sure remaining inside the tank. This is an impor-
tant and indispensable safety device, and it is
necessary to follow certain procedures when re-
filling the tank.
When you have used up all the water in the tank,
do as follows:
1d.Switch off the boiler on/off switch (2).
2d Press the steam request button on the iron
(3) so as to fully exhaust the steam supply
from the tank.
3d.Switch off the iron switch (4) .
4d.Disconnect the power supply cable from the
mains.
5d.Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety
cap (5).
