• A hydraulically operated safety pressure relief valve is fitted inside the appliance, it MUST only be replaced
by an authorised service personnel.

• The steam generator is fitted with a safety overload cut-out that MUST only be replaced with an identical

this air.

• Electrical or electronic appliances (computers, tv, radio, lights, telephones, etc) should never be cleaned with
steam as this could cause damage or create a safety hazard, even if these are not connected to the mains
supply.

exception of products indicated by Steam Australia.

• Fill the tank with clean water, use a funnel and take care not to overfill. Fill to just below the filler cap and
refit the water tank cap.

Steam Cleaner Description

The SV6 permits cleaning and sanitising without the need to use chemicals. Steam cleaning is hygienic and helps us
reduce our water and chemical consumption making us more environmentally responsible. High temperature steam
removes dirt, kills bacteria and dust mites. It can be used on many different of surfaces including: ceramic floor tiles,
stone floors, parquet flooring, vinyl floors, carpets, rugs, wooden ceilings, wall paper, windows, mirrors, sanitary
ware, taps, cooking surfaces, ovens, grills, radiators, window and door frames, furniture, fireplaces, cars, seats etc.
Steam can be generated continuously by topping up the water tank.

Steam Cleaning is different to traditional cleaning as we are super heating the water to over 170°C and in most
cases, we will only use the steam and the super-heated water vapour to sanitise and clean at the same time. This
means we use a very small amount of water over the duration of our clean and the higher pressures reduces the
amount of “elbow grease” required.

NOTE: Steam can cause damage, please read all instructions carefully and understand the safety instructions before
use.
