Detergent
We recommend use only of the detergents of the TPA IMPEX line. These products were
testedon,anddevelopedspecicallyforusewith,theVC6000steammachine.Refer
to the indications provided on the detergent label for dilutions, and directions for the use
of TPA IMPEX products.
PLEASE NOTE
• Never use foaming or acid-based cleaning agents. They may damage the internal
components of the machine.
• Never use muriatic acid- or ammonia-based cleaning agents or cleaning agents based
on products classed as irritants. Use with steam increases the volatility of such substan-
ces, which are harmful if inhaled.
• No guarantee cover is provided for breakdowns arising out of use of detergents not
conforming to the above indications.

• Connect the appliance to the power outlet and turn on as for normal
use.
• Turn the boiler on by pressing button A. Wait for about 3 minutes
(1 bar), then turn the appliance off. Let the vinegar work for about
12 hours. Shake the machine from time to time for more effective
descaling solution action.• After the indicated time, locate the drain
plug below the machine, unscrew it with the special hex wrench (37)
and empty the contents into a bucket or a container.
