the tank up, remove the plastic
part with the rectangular hole,
then remove the plastic divider

Step 2 of “Preparing the SV8W | Steam
Operations”(page 1).
NOTE: Using the water injection continuously will
quickly drain the water tank, therefore it is advised
that the water injection function is to be used only
when cleaning hard to remove stained areas.
Warning Lights
The SV8W 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 SV8W | Steam Operations”.
For vacuum waste tank issues, clean out the waste
tank and proceed to Step 2 & 3 of “Preparing the
SV8W | Vacuum Operations”.
Cleaning the SV8W
Draining the SV8W’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 does not 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 is not plugged into a power
source and the machine does not feel warm with no
pressure present.
2. Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the black
plastic cover concealing the boiler drain plug located
underneath the SV8W by inserting the screwdriver
into the slit and turning counter clockwise.
3. Once the brass boiler plug is exposed, prepare the
SV8W 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.
