This product complies with EU Directive
2002/96/EC.
The crossed-out wastebasket symbol
on the appliance means that at the end
of its useful lifespan, the product must
be disposed of separately from ordinary
household wastes.
The user is responsible for delivering the ap-
pliance to an appropriate collection facility at the
end of its useful lifespan.
Appropriate separate collection to permit recy-
cling, treatment and environmentally compatible
disposal helps prevent negative impact on the
environment and human health and promotes
recycling of the materials making up the product.
For more information on available collection faci-
lities, contact your local waste collection service
or the shop where you bought this appliance.
IMPORTANT
Before leaving our factory all our products are ri-
gorously tested. This is the reason why your VA-
PORELLA may contain some residual water in
the boiler.
PREPARATION
• Remove the water tank (2) from the appliance,
pulling it out as shown in fig.1.
• Fill the tank with water up to the MAX level
(2a) (fig.2).
This appliance has been designed to work with
normal tap water.
However, since water contains limestone by
nature, which may cause scaling in the long
run, we recommend using a 50/50 mixture of
tap water and demineralised water or treated
with softening systems. To use tap water and
avoid scale formation, we recommend the ad-
dition of the special natural scale removal
agent Kalstop FP2003.
Absolutely do not use distilled water, dryer
condensate water, perfumed water, rain wa-
ter, battery water, water from air conditio-
ning systems and the like. Do not use che
-
mical substances or detergents.
• Connect the tank up to the appliance again,
being careful to insert it correctly.
• Slowly pull out the power cable (11) to the de-
sired length as shown in fig. 3.
• Plug the power cable into a suitable outlet,
which must be grounded.
• Press the main switch (1), the on indicator
(10b) and the Kalstop indicator (10a) will come
on; after a second the Kalstop indicator (10a)
will go off and the steam pressure indicator
(10d) and the “iron heating” light (6) will light
up.
• The noise you hear when the appliance comes
on and periodically during use is due to the
water filling system.
