Preparing the SV8D
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 (iii), 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 SV8D on using the ON/OFF switch (i), making
sure the steam level lights on the display (g) lights up
after a few seconds.
4. Connect hose into the SV8D by opening the
protective plastic flap located on the front of the
machine (ii) and pushing the plug end of the hose in
with the round red button on the top side of the hose
until it clicks.
Proceed to “Vacuum Operation” and/or “Detergent
Operation” section if you are planning on using the vacuum
and/or detergent functions together with the steam
functions.
Vacuum Operation:
1. Turn the vacuum on from the hose controls by quick-
pressing (V).
The SV8D will make a beeping noise and the vacuum
waste tank lights (b) will flash
on the display.
2. Open the transparent
vacuum cover (iv), remove
blue foam filter and slowly fill
clean tap water into the
rectangular hole on top of the
vacuum waste tank until the
vacuum waste tank lights (b)
stops flashing.
3. Replace the blue foam filter
and the transparent vacuum cover (iv).
NOTE: If the vacuum waste
tank lights (b) still flashes after
filling the tank up, remove the
plastic part with the
rectangular hole, then remove
the plastic divider underneath.
You will see a white float,
make sure the white float’s
surrounding areas and the
float itself is clean and can
move freely. Re-assemble the waste tank, fill the tank
with clean tap water until the vacuum waste tank lights
(b) stops flashing then put the blue foam filter and
transparent vacuum cover (iv) back on.
Detergent Operation:
1. Open transparent vacuum
cover (iv) and locate the
detergent tank filler cap.
2. Remove the detergent tank
filler cap and fill with the
diluted 101 degreaser solution. NOTE: We recommend
using Steam Australia’s 101 degreaser or similar to
ensure it does not impact machine operation and/or
cause adverse health issues.
3. Replace the detergent filler cap and the transparent
vacuum cover (iv) before operating.
Hose Handle Operations

want, press the trigger located underneath the hose
handle (T)to release steam from the nozzle.
WARNING: Do NOT operate hose with steam nozzle
pointing at persons, animals or electrical machinery
/equipment/outlets/sensors that are sensitive to
water and heat (especially near fire alarm sensors).
Vacuum Functions:
1. Press the BLACK & WHITE vacuum button (V)to
engage the vacuum function. The vacuum will turn on
and you will feel suction from the vacuum nozzle.
2. If the vacuum stops, a beeping noise is heard and the
vacuum waste tank lights (b) flashes, check for any
water present in the waste tank. Remove any water
present and proceed to Step 2 & 3 of “Preparing the
SV8D | Vacuum Operations” (page 1).
3. Press and hold the BLACK & WHITE vacuum button
(V)to select 3 vacuum levels: low, medium or high. The
vacuum level lights display will light up in
correspondence to the different vacuum levels: 1=

Detergent Functions:
1. The detergent function only works when the steam
function is active. Detergent gets injected periodically
together with steam when it is activated.
2. To activate the detergent function, press the GREEN
detergent (L)button on the hose. The detergent light
(e) will light up on the display.
3. If the SV8D makes a beeping noise and the ‘Low
Detergent’light (a) flashes on the display, proceed to
Step 1 –3 of “Preparing the SV8D | Detergent
Operations” (page 1).
4. Once the detergent function activates, use the
steam functions as normal. Periodically you will notice
a pulse in steam intensity at any steam level settings.
Warning Lights
The SV8D 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)
- Detergent tank low level (a)
For water tank low level, refer to Step 2
of “Preparing the SV8D | Steam Operations”.
For vacuum waste tank issues, clean out the waste tank
and proceed to Step 2 & 3 of “Preparing the SV8D |
Vacuum Operations”.
For detergent tank low level, proceed to Step 1 –3 of
“Preparing the SV8D|Detergent Operations” (page 1).
Cleaning the SV8D
Draining the SV8D’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 5L 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 SV8D by inserting the screwdriver into
the slit and turning counter-clockwise.
3. Once the brass boiler plug is exposed, prepare the
SV8D 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.
