P R E PA R AT I O N F O R U S E Unscrew the safety cap (A) and fill the boiler with 3 litres of normal tap water using the filling bottle (V) (fig. 3). However, as hard water by its nature contains limestone, which may cause a build-up of limescale in the boiler, in hard water areas we recommend the use of our natural-base decalcifier KALSTOP, available from Polti dealers or by mail order from your Polti Service Centre. Make sure the patented safety cap (A) is fully and correctly screwed on, otherwise you may experience steam escaping from around the cap. Connect the power supply cable (M) into an earthed power supply of the correct voltage. IMPORTANT: always make sure that the "continuous steam jet" button (S) is not switched on. The pressure indicator light (G) and the "iron heating" indicator light (R1) will light up (fig. 4). ENGLISH WARNING: Do NOT under any circumstances put or leave the filling bottle in the water filling aperture of the appliance when the appliance is connected to the mains electricity supply.
