This is the reason why your VAPORETTO may contain some
residual water in the boiler.
WHICH WATER TO USE IN THE BOILER
This appliance has been designed to function with normal
medium tap water between 8°F and 20°F. If the tap water
contains a lot of limescale use a mix composed of 50% tap
water and 50% demineralised water which is widely available
to purchase. Do not use pure demineralised water.
Warning: check the hardness of the water at the technical office
at your local council or the local water supplier.
If you only use tap water, you can reduce the formation of
limescale by using the special Kalstop limescale product,
distributed by Polti, and available for sale at all major domestic-
appliance stores and online at www.polti.com.
Never use distilled water, rain water or water containing
additives (e.g. starch, perfumes), or water produced by other
domestic appliances, by water softeners or filter jugs.
Do not use chemical substances or detergents.
