Operation Manual

ENGLISH
ECO function
With the ECO function on, the appliance sets it-
self to a medium level of both steam pressure
and iron temperature, thereby optimising con-
sumption whilst ensuring optimum ironing of the
hardest-wearing fabrics (cotton / jeans / linen).
Do not use this mode for ironing synthetic,
silk and wool clothing.
Set the function by pressing the ECO button
(8e). The indicators will light up (8a - 8c - 8f) to
indicate that the function has been activated.
The steam ready indicator (8i) will start to flash.
Before starting to iron, wait for the steam ready
indicator (8i) to stay on continuously and the
“Iron heating” indicator light (5) to go out.
To deactivate the ECO function, just press the
ECO button again (8e).
AUTO-KALSTOP FUNCTION
Water naturally contains a certain amount of cal-
cium and magnesium salts, which determine its
hardness and cause lime scale to build up over
time. To prevent his problem Polti has devel-
oped KALSTOP FP 2003 for natural prevention
of lime scale build-up on steam cleaners and
irons with separate boiler units.
To keep your boiler working properly and
lengthen your Vaporella’s useful lifespan, Polti
has fitted Vaporella Forever 1800 Eco Program
with the special Auto-Kalstop function which au-
tomatically indicates when you need to use
Kalstop.
Whenever the Add Kalstop (8b) indicator light
comes on:
• Turn off the appliance with the main switch
(1).
• Unplug from the mains electricity (9).
• Remove the water tank (2) and fill it with water
(if necessary) up to the MAX level (2a).
• Pour the contents of a Kalstop phial into the
water tank (2).
• Connect the tank (2) to the appliance again
making sure that it is inserted correctly.
• Reconnect the plug to the mains electricity
(9).
• Hold the steam button down (4) and turn the
appliance on using the main switch (1), still
holding the steam button down (4).
• The Kalstop indicator light will come on (8b).
Hold the steam button down (4) until the Kal-
stop indicator light turns off (8b).
• You may now resume using the appliance as
usual.
NOTE: When the Add Kalstop indicator light
(8b) comes on, you can continue using the
appliance. It is possible to continue ironing.
But adding Kalstop FP 2003 immediately will
help keep your Vaporella in perfect working
order for longer.
Constant use of Kalstop FP2003:
• prolongs your Vaporella’s useful lifespan;
• improves steam quality;
• increases the boiler’s efficiency and saves en-
ergy.
Kalstop FP2003 is an organic, biodegradable,
non-toxic product; a tannic complex which pre-
vents lime scale formation, reduces the pres-
ence of oxygen in the water (which corrodes
metals) and protects the walls of the boiler.
Kalstop FP2003 is sold in packages of 20 phials
at household appliance stores, at Polti authori-
zed service centres or at www.polti.com.
Use original Polti products only. Products by oth-
er brands may not be suitable for use in Polti ap-
pliances and could cause damage.
NO WATER
The lack of water in the tank (2) is signalled by
the indicator light (8g) coming on.
To continue working, just top up the water in the
tank (2) as described in the paragraph “PREPA-
RATION”.
ATTENTION: before removing and filling the
water tank (2), make sure that the machine
has been turned off and the power plug (9)
has been disconnected from the mains.
