Before Switching On
Water Quality
It is important to ensure that only clean water is being used with your machine. Water should be free of any
sediment, detergents, oils or other contaminates. If there is any sediment or contaminates coming from your water
system filtered water should be used. Water hardness should not exceed 180 parts per million, it is recommended
that you check the water quality with your supplier. If water hardness exceeds 180 parts per million the machine
should be drained and serviced more frequently. Distilled water should never be used. If the water quality is poor
and you have no means of filter the water, you should dilute the tap water with distilled water with a 50:50 mix.
Filling with Water
Open the filler cap, and slowly fill the water tank with clean tap water until the water
level reaches the top. Filling with warm water will reduce the heating time. If the
water tank overflows, use a rag to absorb the excess water sitting near the intake
before replacing the filler cap. Wipe dry any spilled water around the machine as any
excess water spillage around the machine can cause electrical and/or slipping hazards
if not removed.
Attaching/Removing the Hose
Open the protective flap in front of the machine. Connect the hose by the plug end of
the hose into the plug opening of the machine. Make sure that the round red button
on the plug end of the hose is facing up (pictured), then push the plug in until it clicks.
To remove the hose, press the red button and gently pull the hose plug out.
Using Your Appliance
Turning on the Saphira C8
Plug the cable into a wall outlet. Do NOT use a multi-outlet power-board and avoid using low-quality extension
cables. Multi-outlet power boards typically do not have the capacity to accommodate equipment rated at high-
wattage making it unsuitable for use with the Saphira C8. If you need to use an extension cable with the Saphira C8,
make sure that a “heavy duty” extension cable is used.
Turn the machine on using the black On/Off button. The button will light up and the boiler should start heating up
the water. If there is too little water in the boiler, the Saphira C8 will start pumping water from the tank into the
boiler which will make the machine vibrate for a little while. It will take approximately 6-8 minutes for the water to
heat up to the right temperature and for the pressure to build up to the right amount.
Once the machine is ready for use, the green “Machine Ready” indicator light will turn on.
Steam Operation
Steam levels can be selected using the switches located on the hose handle (i.).
Note: Using the hot water injection continuously will
quickly drain the water tank, therefore it is advised
that the hot water injection function is to be used only
when cleaning hard to remove stained areas.
