Preparing the SV6
Steam Operation:
1. Plug cable into a wall outlet. NOTE: Do NOT use
multi-outlet power-boards and avoid using low-
quality extension cables.
2. Open water tank filler cap (ii), fill tank with clean
tap water up to the top then close filler cap. NOTE: Do
NOT use de-mineralised water and do NOT fill with
any chemicals.
3. Turn SV6 on using the green ON/OFF switch (g),
making sure the steam level light on the display (e)
lights up after a few seconds.
4. Connect hose into the SV6 by opening the
protective plastic flap located on the front of the
machine (iii) and pushing the plug end of the hose in
with the round red button on the top side of the hose
until it clicks.
If planning to use the SV6 as vacuum only mode (no steam
functions), proceed to “Vacuum Operation” section below.
5. Turn the orange boiler switch on (f) to start the
boiler.
Proceed to “Vacuum Operation” section if you are planning
on using the vacuum together with the steam functions.
Vacuum Operation:
1. Turn the vacuum on from the hose controls by
quick-pressing (V).
The SV6 will make a beeping noise and the vacuum
waste tank light (c) will flash on the display.
2. Open the transparent “smoke-
grey” vacuum cover (i) and
slowly fill clean tap water into
the rectangular hole on top of
the vacuum waste tank until the
vacuum waste tank light (c) stops
flashing.
3. Replace the transparent vacuum cover (i).
NOTE: Filling the tank with excess water may still
cause the vacuum waste tank light (c) to continue
flashing. Empty the tank and slowly re-fill the tank
again with clean tap water (no soap or foaming agents
present) until the vacuum waste tank (c) light stop
flashing. Foam from soapy water may trigger the
sensors that tells the SV6 that the vacuum tank is full
and needs emptying so avoid using soapy water.

the steam level light turns on to prepare the steam
function for use.
2. If the SV6 makes a beeping noise and the ‘Low
Water’ light (c) flashes, proceed to Step 2 of
“Preparing the SV6 | Steam Operations”.

between 3 steam levels: low, medium or high. The
steam level light (e) display will light up in
correspondence to the different steam levels: 1 =
Low, 2= Medium and 3= High.
4. Once you have selected which steam levels you
want, press the trigger located underneath the hose
handle (T)to release steam from the nozzle.

Warning Lights
The SV6 will make a beeping noise and a red light will
flash on certain conditions:
- Water tank low level (c)
- Vacuum waste tank no water/
too much waste (b)
For water tank low level, refer to Step 2 of “Preparing
the SV6 | Steam Operations”.
For vacuum waste tank issues, clean out the waste
tank and proceed to Step 2 & 3 of “Preparing the SV6
| Vacuum Operations”.
Cleaning the SV6
Draining the SV6’s boiler once a month ensures that
the machine operates at optimal conditions.
WARNING: Ensure machine has cooled down before
attempting to clean out the boiler by checking that
the machine doesn’t feel warm on the bottom part
and machine is free from any pressure.
You will need:
- A pan or container that can hold at least 5 litres of
water
- A rag
- Flathead screwdriver
- Supplied socket wrench
1. Ensure the machine isn’t plugged into a power
source and the machine doesn’t feel warm with no
pressure present.
2. Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the black
plastic cover concealing the boiler drain plug located
underneath the SV6 by inserting the screwdriver into
the slit and turning counter-clockwise.
3. Once the brass boiler plug is exposed, prepare the
SV6 by positioning it on top of a pan or container.
4. Using the supplied socket wrench, unscrew the
boiler plug by slowly turning counter-clockwise. You
may need to use a rag to hold the plug as you unscrew
the plug by hand after loosening using the socket
wrench. Let the water drain, then screw the plug back
on and tighten with supplied socket wrench.
