Steam function
Set the main switch (A) to the ON position. The display will light up to indicate that there
is power. Press button B to turn on the boiler.

Wait until it glows steady, so that the system is stabilised, thus enabling optimal perfor-
mance.

Use the knob (F) located on the front of the machine to regulate the steam output.
Some drops of water may leak out when you start using it: this is due to imperfect ther-
mal stabilisation inside the hose.

• Before all maintenance operations, make sure that the power cord is not con-
nected to the mains power supply.
• After use of the brushes, to prevent undue deformation, allow the bristles to cool in their
normal position.
• Periodically check the state of repair of the moulded plug seals (cap.6). If necessary,
replace with the spare seals. Periodically check the state of repair of the connection
seals of the extension wands and handle.

Descaling the boiler and safety probe cap
Directions are provided in this chapter, ensuring a much longer life cycle for your
appliance – thanks to the exclusive technology included to prevent limescaling inside
the boiler. After prolonged use, as a result of limescaling, most commercially available
steam appliances become unusable. Thanks to its exclusive patented technology, our
VC 6000 appliance enables inspection and cleaning of the safety probe cap that controls
the level of water in the boiler.
As opposed to other appliances, which, at a certain stage, are no longer able to monitor
water levels as a result of limescaling, VC 6000 can be fully restored by means of a
simple operation which. The boiler itself can also be descaled, thus ensuring prolonged
efciencyoftheappliance.
If a sharp fall in steam emissions is noted or if particles of limescale are discharged,
descale the probe and boiler (operation carried out in advance of scheduled operation
maintenance).
Proceed as follows. Finish ironing and wait until the machine has fully cooled.
PLEASE NOTE!
Never descale the machine when it is hot. Danger of
burns!Waitatleasttwohoursbeforecarryingoutmain-
tenance operations.
• Disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
•Removetheexiblehosefromthemachinetofacilitate
the task.
• Safety probe cap (7) operation.
• Unscrew the probe cap (turn knob anti-clockwise).

pull the probe cap up through the openings in the basket
topreventthemetalrodfrombending(g.1,2).
• Pour approximately one glass-full of white-wine vinegar
(approx. 0.2 litres) into the boiler, using funnel. Screw the
probe cap (clockwise) into its position on the mouth of the
boiler.Gentlyscrewuntilrmlyinposition.Donotscrew
