MAINTENANCE AND USE MANUAL
If the overpressure warning light comes on repeatedly, switch off the steam generator
via the main switch and contact an Authorised Service Centre.
If the safety valve should open proceed as follows:
• turn the element switch to OFF (4);
• release the pressure via the gun until it drops to 1 bar;
• switch off the steam generator via the main switch and contact an Authorised
Service Centre.
If you are using the kit (XR0020065 gun kit), make sure the gasket at the end of the gun
is present. If there is no gasket, replace it with the one in the kit, making sure the nozzles
are correctly inserted to avoid flow-back of water and/or steam towards the user.
After setting up the machine (see sections 6.5 and 6.6), proceed as follows:
• On the VAP 6:
1. Switch the element on via the relevant switch (4): the on-switch LED comes on. The "water
low" warning light (6) and element ON indicator light (5) come on simultaneously. After five
seconds the "water low" warning light goes out automatically while the element ON
indicator light (5) stays on until pressure reaches 6 bar.
If, after 5 seconds the "water low" warning light (6) remains on, the boiler must be filled with
water (see section 6.6.1).
2. Press the trigger button (9) on the gun and the steam exits the gun nozzle.
3. Adjust steam outflow as desired by acting on the knob (1); rotate anticlockwise to increase
flow and clockwise to decrease.
When the steam starts flowing out of the gun the pressure in the boiler drops and the
element ON indicator light (5) comes back on.
• For the VAP 6A:
4. Switch on pump and element by acting on switch (4); the LED on the switch comes on, the
"water low" warning light (6) comes on and the pump starts working.
5. When the water level in the boiler reaches the minimum level the indicator light (6) goes
out and, at the same time, the element ON indicator light (5) comes on and stays on until
pressure reaches 6 bar.
6. Select the work mode by acting on switch (16).
7. Press the trigger button (9) on the gun and the water (or steam) will exit the gun nozzle.
Adjust steam outflow as desired by acting on the knob (1); rotate anticlockwise to increase
flow and clockwise to decrease.
Once steam starts flowing out of the gun the pressure in the boiler drops and the element
ON indicator light (5) comes back on.
