Vaporella New Concept 450 ENGLISH Thank you for your confidence in buying this Polti product for perfect ironing in less time. Your Vaporella New Concept 450 has been designed to ensure maximum ironing comfort; its quality materials make it a reliable work-mate. The powerful jet of Vaporella steam acts on the fabrics eliminating every crease even before the soleplate passes over it. Therefore it is not necessary to press on or iron repeatedly. Just let the iron slide over the garment to obtain perfect ironing, saving time and effort. With Vaporella it is possible to iron vertically to revive fabrics and take out bad smells from jackets, clothes and overcoats. Thanks to its self-refilling system, Vaporella New Concept 450 is quickly ready for use and does not need any interruption to your ironing. Before using Vaporella, we recommend reading these instructions carefully. This unit conforms with EC-directives 89/336 as amended by 93/68 (EMC) and 73/23 as amended by 93/68 (low voltage).

WARNING: to avoid problems created by limscale, it is essential to use KalFilter jug. It is necessary to keep the unit in horizontal position during operation. NO IMPORTANT Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested. However, your VAPORELLA may contain some residual water in the boiler.
Vaporella New Concept 450 ENGLISH PREPARATION FOR USE Fig. 1 1a. Unscrew the self-refilling tank cap (1) (Fig. 1) and fill the tank with about 1 litre of water, making sure it does not overflow. During filling we recommend you disconnect the appliance from the mains. In this case, separate the tank (3) from the appliance by pulling the levers upwards (3a) (Fig. 2). Once the tank (3) is filled, reposition the cap and replace the boiler, making sure that it is correctly fitted to the appliance. Water by its nature contains magnesium and mineral salts which form into limescale. To avoid this residue Fig. 2 causing problems to your unit, we recommend that you always use this special jug KalFilter with antilimescale filter, which is provided with your appliance thanks to its special filter made up with a mixture of two resins. This jug, is the ideal solution to the problem of limescale allowing you to change water straight from the tap into water that is demineralized and silicon-free. In this way you can prevent the incrustations and protect the components of your unit. Constant use of the jug extends the life to your appliance and you will always have at your disposal a clean Fig. 3 jet of steam To use the jug correctly, please read carefully the instructions provided with this item. 2a. Connect the cable plug to an earthed power supply of the correct voltage. 3a. Press the illuminated ON/OFF switch (2) (Fig. 3); the steam pressure indicator (5) and the iron heating indicator light (10a) will light up. The sound emitted on switching on your appliance and periodically during use, is due to the water refilling system and is quite normal. During use you may hear some gurgling due to the backflow of hot water into the tank saving energy (water preheating in the tank). This is quite normal and you can carry on ironing. To reduce the gurgling we recommend to replenish before the water has been used up. At firt steam request, or about 2 minutes after the last request, you will experince a delay in steam delivery because steam inside the heat exchanger is excessively rarefied. This is normal and no longer happens once the equipment has been used a number of times. Press the steam release switch (10) for some seconds till steam is released.
ENGLISH Vaporella New Concept 450 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Fig. 4 STEAM IRONING 1b. Set the iron temperature to the COTTON - LINEN steam position (fig. 4), by turning the knob (7). For steam ironing, all types of fabric can be ironed at this temperature. 2b. Wait for the steam pressure indicator light (5) and the iron heating indicator light (10a) to switch off (about 3 minutes). Push button (10) on the iron to release bursts of steam from the holes on the soleplate. Release the button and the steam will stop (fig. 5). 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 clean cloth until a uniform stable jet of steam is obtained. 3b. By turning the steam flow control knob (6) you can vary the amount of steam according to the type of texile to be ironed (more or less delicate). You can use this control to increase the steam flow by turning in clockwise direction. Turning the control in an anticlockwise direction reduces the steam flow (fig. 6). We suggest the maximum emission for heavy textiles like jeans, medium for cotton and linen, minimum for light textiles. Fig. 5 Fig. 6 DRY IRONING 1c. For DRY ironing (without steam), adjust the temperature by turning the knob (7), setting it to the temperature required for the fabric, as shown on the rotating indicator. When dry ironing, be careful NOT TO PRESS THE STEAM RELEASE BUTTON (10) on top of the iron, otherwise water may leak from the soleplate of the iron.
Vaporella New Concept 450 ENGLISH FILLING THE TANK If steam is not issued on pressing the steam release switch (10) and the indicator light (4) lights up at the same time, it means that there is no more water in the tank. To keep on working, simply restore the water level in the self-refilling tank as described in the Preparation for use paragraph. IMPORTANT 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. mesh ironing boards. The lights (5) and (10a) go on and off during operation, this is perfectly normal, indicating that the electric resistances are operating to maintain the New Concept system at a constant temperature. If no steam is released from the iron, check the following: the switch (5) is lit up. If repairs or replacement parts are required, 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 a special tool is necessary.
