Dear Customer,
We would like to thank you for preferring Polti.
Your Vaporella will make ironing faster and more effective.
Vaporella is designed to offer the utmost comfort while ironing; its quality construction makes it a depend-
able partner in your work.
Vaporella’s powerful steam jet acts directly on fabrics, eliminating all creases.
There’s no need to press or go over the same garment several times; simply slide the Vaporella iron over
the garment for perfect ironing, saving time and energy.
The digital display allows you to control all functions quickly and easily.
Vaporella Forever Eco, with its 3 operating modes - Auto, Eco and Manual – ensures use of just the
right quantity of steam and the most appropriate iron temperature at all times, eliminating creases
without wasting energy. Eco mode allows for perfect clothes whilst saving up to 20% electricity.*
* As compared with Auto and Manual modes at maximum power.
You can use Vaporella to iron vertically to freshen up fabrics or eliminate odours from jackets, dresses and
coats.
And with its automatic topping-up system, Vaporella is ready to use right away; you won’t need to stop and
refill the boiler.
We recommend you read this instruction booklet carefully before using your Vaporella.

• Do not put any detergent or chemical sub-
stance in the boiler. Water by its nature
contains magnesium, mineral salts and
other deposits which in hard water areas
can contribute to limescale build up in the
tank. In very hard water areas we recom-
mend the use of our KALSTOP FP 2003, a
special natural-base decalcifier which in-
hibits and breaks down limescale. This is a
preventive against scale build-up and pro-
tects the metal walls of the boiler.
KALSTOP is available from Polti dealers or
from your Polti Service Centre.
• Do not use demineralised water alone, but
mix it with tap water as described above.
• Never use distilled water or scented wa-
ter.
• If you iron sitting down, do not place your
legs under the ironing board, the steam can
cause burns.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on
surfaces that allow the steam to escape
e.g. mesh ironing boards.
• For iron rest replacement use only original
spare parts.
• The iron must be used and rested on a sta-
ble surface.
• When placing the iron on its stand, make
sure that the surface on which the stand is
placed is stable.
• Check that the continuous steam request
button is switched off before connecting the
appliance to the mains.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or in-
struction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• The appliance must not be used if it has
fallen, been dropped or when it has visible
signs of damage or leaks.

• Pull up the self-refilling tank cap (1) (Fig. 1)
and fill the tank with 650 cc of water, mak-
ing sure it does not overflow. Close the lid.
Normal tapwater can be used. In hard wa-
ter areas we recommend the use of
KALSTOP, a special natural-base decalci-
fier which inhibits and breaks down
limescale, making it easy to remove just by
swilling out the tank with a little tapwater.
Do not use demineralised water alone, but
mix it with tap water as described above.
Never use distilled
water or scented wa-
ter.
• Connect the cable plug to an earthed power
supply of the correct voltage.
• Press the ON/OFF switch (2); the Vaporella
display will switch on.
• The sound emitted on switching on your ap-
pliance and periodically during use, is due
to the water refilling system and is quite
normal.

Check the manufacturer’s label on the gar-
ment, and interpret the symbol on the label as
follows:
• It is best not to use steam when ironing silk
or synthetics, as iron temperature and pres-
sure will be enough to ensure good results.
Use the WOOL setting if you wish to iron
particularly delicate fabrics (synthetics and
silk) with steam.
• To optimise ironing time, iron the most deli-
cate fabrics (SYNTH/SILK settings) before
heavier fabrics. If you do it the other way
around, even if steam production is not
stopped, you will have to wait for the iron
and the boiler to cool down to the selected
iron temperature and steam pressure.

• Set the type of fabric to be ironed using the selec-
tor (D1), following the instructions given in the
above diagrams.
There are four types of pre-set fabric:
• SYNTH/SILK (synthetics)
• WOOL
• COTTON
• LINEN
In the ‘SYNTH/SILK’ setting, steam supply is
prevented.
To go from one ironing programme to the next,
press the selector (D1) until the display shows the
name of the fabric type to be ironed.
While the iron is heating up, when you select
the type of fabric, the icons for the iron (D6),
water boiler (D8) and the name of the fabric
selected (D5) will continue to flash until the
operating temperature is reached.

are selected, the water boiler icon (D8) will
not light up. Once the optimum temperature
has been reached, the icons will stop flashing
and the appliance may be used.
If going from one programme to another requiring a
lower operating temperature, the iron off icon (OFF)
(D7) will turn on and remain on; the iron icon (D6)
and the name of the fabric selected (D5) will flash
until operating temperature is reached.
As soon as warning lights (D5) and (D6) stop
flashing and the off light (OFF) (D7) switches
off, the appliance can be used. While the ap-
pliance is cooling, it will beep every 20 sec-
onds. When it has cooled to the set tempera-
ture, the appliance will issue a longer beep.
NOTE: When you first request steam, a few
drops of water may drip from the plate. This is
because the temperature is not yet fully sta-
ble. We therefore recommend that you re-
lease the first jet of steam onto a clean cloth.
The amount of steam delivered and the tem-
perature of the iron are automatically set ac-
cording to the type of fabric selected and are
displayed by icons (D3) and (D4).
• To obtain a continuous jet of steam, move
button (8) forward. The steam will continue
to be delivered even when you release the
button. Move the same button (8) back-
wards to stop the jet of steam (fig.2).

With the ECO function on, the appliance sets itself
to a medium level of both steam pressure and iron
temperature, thereby optimising consumption
whilst ensuring optimum ironing of the hardest-
wearing fabrics. To enable the ECO function, press
the selector (D1) until enabling the ECO function.
The display will light up green and in addition to the
wording ‘ECO’, the light will also come on (D12).
We do not recommend using this mode to iron
synthetic and silk items.

Manual mode allows for the operating temperature
and pressure to be set independently.
To go from automatic to manual mode, simultane-
ously press and hold the selection buttons (D1) and
(D2) for about 2 seconds.
Manual mode is marked as enabled by the appear-
ance of the wording ‘MANUAL’ on the display.
At this point, the selector (D1) can be used to set
the desired steam pressure, as iron temperature
can be set with selector (D2).
ATTENTION: if setting a low iron temperature, wa-
ter may be released from the holes in the plate
when requesting steam. To prevent this, take care
not to use steam (dry iron) or to set a higher iron
temperature. To return to automatic mode, press
the selection buttons (D1) and (D2) simultaneously
once again, holding them down for 2 seconds.

The appliance will beep three times to signal
that the water tank is empty, and the empty
water tank icon (D11) will also appear. At the
same time, steam delivery will stop. All you
need to do to continue working is to top up
the water in the self-filling tank, following the
instructions given in the paragraph headed
“Preparation”. Thanks to the self-filling sys-
tem, you no longer need to stop ironing and
wait before refilling the water boiler. When the
water inside the boiler reaches the minimum
level, the appliance automatically starts the
pump and refills the boiler.

When the water boiler needs to be cleaned,
the water boiler descaling icon (D9) will ap-
pear on the display of the appliance. This
function does not prevent operation of the ap-
pliance in any way; you can perform the
cleaning cycle when you have finished ironing
or whenever you wish.
Clean the water boiler as follows:
• Unplug the appliance and leave it to cool
for at least 2 hours.
• Empty the water tank to prevent spillage of
water.
• Turn the appliance upside down and using
the Allen wrench (11), unscrew the boiler
cap (10) located on the bottom of the appli-
ance (fig.5).
• Using the funnel (12) pour a quarter litre of
cold water into the boiler.
WARNING: do not exceed this quantity
of water and pour it into the boiler
slowly, making sure that it does not
overflow since the water may damage
the appliance (fig. 6).
• Rinse the boiler and pour the water into a
wash basin or into a special container for
the dirty water.
• If the water is very dirty, repeat the opera-
tion until the water is clean.
• Screw the cap back onto the water boiler,
ensuring that the washer has been put back
and that the cap is properly screwed on.
• Refill the water tank and put the cap back
onto it.
• Turn the appliance on using the ON/OFF switch
(2), holding selectors (D1) and (D2) pressed at
the same time until the icon (D9) turns off.
• Start operating the appliance again.
• Before using it to iron, release the steam
into a washbasin or into another container
to make sure that the steam is clean. This
should take a few seconds.
• Continue ironing as usual.
