MAINTENANCE AND USE MANUAL
The VAP 6 - VAP 6A steam generators has been designed for operation on a rigid worktop parallel to
the floor. Suitable worktops include service furniture (where the operator is standing) or modelling
tables (where work is done sitting down). All worktops must be checked for stability.
Install the AD 8 water softener (where applicable) in a place where ambient temperature is higher
than 0°C so as to stop the water in it freezing; the installation site should also protect the softener
against accidental knocks and be perfectly horizontal.
The user must provide a power connection with relative socket near the equipment installation point.
The user must also install an adequate electrical circuit breaker upstream from the socket as well as
efficacious overload/indirect contact safety devices.
Connection is effected via the safety plug (16A, in compliance with European standards) at the end of
the power lead: this must be inserted in the mains socket.
When connecting check:
• that mains voltage and frequency are as indicated on the identification plate (incorrect power supply
voltage may damage the equipment);
• that the mains supply has a proper, efficient earth connection.
It is forbidden to tamper with the power lead and its plug. When replacing them
owing to damage and/or wear please contact an Authorised Service Centre.
A proper earth connection is compulsory. Should it temporarily be necessary to use an
extension lead the latter must comply with the standards in force in the country of use.
