Zhermack VAP 8 Manual De Usario página 29

Luminosity not less than 200 lux must be guaranteed. The
lighting must be uniform without reflections, which could
dazzle the operator.
The equipment itself cannot cause explosions or
fire: the equipment is not prepared and/or
designed to operate in environments with
explosive atmosphere or with the risk of fire.
The working area lighting plant is an important
factor for the safety of persons and the quality of
work. In Italy this subject is governed by a
Ministerial Decree that clearly determines the
average level of prescribed lighting. In other
countries the regulations in force are valid
regarding accident-prevention and hygiene in
the workplace.
6.3 SPACE NECESSARY FOR USE
The choice of the place and space required for installation
is an important factor for the quality of work and safety
and for correct maintenance activities. This area must not
only be spacious enough to allow for optimum equipment
operation - also during cleaning and maintenance phases
- but must also be well lit, aired, not dusty and not
exposed to direct sunlight. Note also that the unit must
be positioned so the connection plug can be handled/
manipulated with ease.
6.3.1 WORKTOP
Fig. E - BENCH VERSION
The equipment 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.
Fig. F - WALL-MOUNTED VERSION
The equipment is also designed to be wall-mounted.
Before installation:
- make sure that there are no power sockets or
other objects that may be damaged by accidental
contact with steam/water located underneath
the appliance;
- make sure the holes are aligned horizontally.
Once drilling is over, introduce the plugs in the holes
and then screw in the screws but not all the way: let
them protrude from the wall by 8-10 mm. Check that the
machine is stable before using it.
The right plugs for installation must be chosen
based on the weight of the appliance, shown in
section 4.2.2, and the type of wall it is installed on.
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.
VAP 8 / 8A - AD 8
6.4 CONNECTION TO ENERGY SOURCES
The connection is made using the power supply cable.
Check:
• that mains power supply voltage and frequency
correspond to those indicated on the identification
plate (an incorrect power supply voltage may damage
the equipment);
• that the power supply mains has a suitable earth
connection.
Do not tamper with the power supply cable and
relative plug. For replacement of the same due to
damage and/or wear, only contact Authorised
After-Sales Centres.
6.5 FIRST-TIME USE VAP 8
The examples shown in the illustrations refer to
the steam generator installed on a work bench.
Fig. 1: Place the equipment on the work bench. Connect
the lead to the power mains: ensure that connection is
effected as per the instructions given in section 6.4.
Fig. 2: Unscrew the water filler plug (15) and fill the boiler
with water. If it overflows clean the steam generator
thoroughly, then screw the plug back on.
To prevent limescale build-up which might
damage the steam generator we recommend that
you use distilled water.
Fig. 3: Press the main switch (13): the LED on the switch
come on.
6.5.1 FILLING THE BOILER WITH WATER - VAP 8
Fig. 4: The first time the VAP 8 steam generator is switched
on or when the water in the boiler is running out, the
"water low" warning light (4) comes on; simultaneously
the element is switched off, thus causing the "element on"
indicator light (5) to go out. The element will remain off
until the boiler is refilled.
To fill the boiler with water proceed as follows:
• switch off the element via the main switch (14);
• release the steam in the boiler by pressing the gun
trigger (10);
• unscrew, slowly and cautiously, the plug (18) so as to
release any residual steam in the boiler;
• fill the boiler with water;
• replace the plug and tighten it securely (18);
• turn the element switch (14) to ON.
To prevent temperature imbalance, do not use
cold water when filling a boiler that is still hot.
Failure to comply with any of the above-stated
equipment installation regulations can lead to
equipment malfunctioning and render the
warranty null and void.
The reference figures can be found on pages 3, 4, 5, 6 of this manual.
An earth connection is mandatory. If an
extension must be used temporarily, it
must be in compliance with the
standards in force in the country of use.
