MAINTENANCE AND USE MANUAL
• If you do not intend to use the equipment for some time always disconnect it from the power supply.
• Have the machine serviced by the Manufacturer at least once a year.
• (VAP 6A) if the overpressure warning light comes on repeatedly, switch off the machine via the main
switch and contact an Authorised Service Centre.

• The AD 8 water softener has been designed to operate at a working pressure of between 1 and 8 bar
and must only be supplied with cold drinking water.
• To regenerate the water softener use only NaCl; acid or base substances, such as solvents and various
chemical products must not be used.
• The resins contained in the water softener are necessary for proper operation and therefore must not
be removed.
• The water softener must be installed in indoor areas with an ambient temperature higher than 0°C so
as to prevent freezing of the water.
• Install the water softener in a place where it is protected from accidental knocks: this prevents damage
to the cover, valves and taps.
• To prevent damage to the water infeed pump make sure that water pressure does not exceed 3-4 bar.
It is advisable to use a pressure reducer calibrated between 1 and 2 bar.
• Wear protective gloves and eye goggles when using the steam generator.
Personnel using the steam generator must wear protective eye goggles. No other
persons must be allowed near the work area as they could be hit by flying dirt, dust
or steam.
This equipment has electrical parts: therefore, in the event of a fire, no matter how
small, use only powder-type extinguishers. Never attempt to put out an electrical fire
with water.
