The steam generator can, however, be used before the "element ON" indicator light
goes out; in this case, though, the pressure displayed on the gauge will be below 8
bar.
If you are in possession of a VAP 6A note that it is inadvisable to use the water
function for prolonged periods of time.
Always empty the boiler if you do not expect to use the steam generator for some
time (see section 8.3.1).
Failure to observe any of the above installation instructions may lead to
malfunctions and render the warranty null and void.
RESIDUAL RISK
7.4
Residual risk is:
• a danger that cannot be completely eliminated through design and application of safety devices.
• a potential danger which cannot be highlighted.
The steam generator produces steam or hot water and therefore works at temperatures of over 100°C; the
residual risks are thus associated with the following situations:
• Steam jets exiting an accidentally triggered gun that has not been properly
connected to its support could cause burns.
• Allowing work to be carried out on the interior of the machine by unauthorised
personnel or carrying out such work with the plug inserted in the mains socket.
To prevent accidents always observe the instructions in this Manual. Should you have
any doubts at all please contact the Manufacturer or your Authorised Servicing
Centre.
The steam generator, where the user fails to observe the instructions
contained in this manual, is a potential source of explosion or fire.
Should you have any doubts whatsoever, always contact the Manufacturer or an
Authorised Service Centre.
The above-mentioned dangers are indicated by special labels attached to the equipment, as
described in sub-section 3.5.1.
