STEAM IRONING
2d. For STEAM ironing, turn the dial (S) and
set the iron temperature to its maximum tra-
vel on the “COTTON-LINEN” steam posi-
tion.
NB YOU MUST SET AT ITS MAXIMUM
POSITION, DO NOT SET AGAINST THE
PICTURE OF THE IRON ON THE DIAL
(S).
Most types of fabric, other than delicates
can be STEAM ironed at this temperature,
please consult the garment manufacturer’s
instructions on the label.
NB FABRIC INDICATIONS ON DIAL ARE
FOR DRY IRONING, NOT STEAM IRON-
ING.
3d. Wait for a few minutes until the “Iron hea-
ting” indicator light (V) goes out, to show
that the soleplate of the iron has reached
the required temperature.
4d. Press the steam request button (R) to en-
able the steam to come out. The steam flow
will stop when the button is released. After
each filling, when you first start to use the
iron, a few drops of water mixed with the
steam may be emitted (due to imperfect
heat stabilisation). It is therefore advisable
to direct the first jet of steam onto a rag.
5d. The iron can also be used in a vertical posi-
tion e.g. for removing creases from curtain,
clothing etc.
6d. To obtain a continuous jet of steam move
the sliding button (U). The steam will con-
tinue to come out even when the steam re-
quest button (R) is released. To stop the
steam flow move the sliding button back-
wards (U).
NOTE: using the iron, it is advisable to ad-
just the steam jet at medium output, or to
do some testing in order to find the position
on (U) which is most suitable to the fabric to
be ironed.
RECOMMENDED TECHNIQUE for steam
ironing with the Polti iron is APPLY steam
(button R) on the upstroke, then release
button R (so no steam) for the backstroke,
thus reclosing the fibres, preventing over-
steaming and wetness.
DRY IRONING
7d. If you need to DRY iron (ONLY) (NOT
steam ironing), press the accessory on/off
switch (C) and adjust the temperature of
the iron by turning dial (S) to the tempera-
ture required for the fabric (as shown on the
dial).
ATTENTION: when dry ironing, be careful
not to press the steam request button (R),
as hot water could come out of the iron onto
your garment and board.

• Do not leave the iron unattended whilst con-
nected to the mains.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on
surfaces that allow the steam to escape e.g.
MESH ironing boards.
• ATTENTION: if you iron sitting down, do not
place your legs under the ironing board, the
steam can cause burns.
