Congratulations on your purchase of the US Steam Sea Hawk system. The Sea Hawk not only combines a steam and vacuum cleaner into one system, but it included our patented RAIN SYSTEM™.

The RAIN SYSTEM™ is a sophisticated air filtration system using a highly efficient nebulization filter and trap large dust particles in water. Air is then passed through a 2nd H.E.P.A paper filter system trapping even the smallest of particles. THE AIR RELEASED

FROM THE SEA HAWK IS THEREFORE PURIFIED FROM ALL DIRT PARTICLES.

6. SENSORS: The overflow sensors can become encrusted with dirt and stop working correctly. Use a cue

tip with detergent or alcoh o l removing dirt particles.

Overflow Sensors

DESCALING THE BOILER AND ELECTRONIC SENSOR (ONCE PER YEAR)

To extend the life of your Sea Hawk, we recommend descaling the boiler and the electronic sensor. After prolong periods of activity, lime scale deposits make the boilers of most steam appliances unusable. Your Sea Hawk comes with an exclusive technology allows you to clean and inspect the electronic sensors that monitor the boiler water levels.

1. Make sure the Sea Hawk is unplugged and has cooled down

completely.

2. Remove the purification tank and empty completely.

3. Turn the steamer upside down, identifying the RED sensor knob.

4. Slowly unscrew the sensor by turning the knob counter-clockwise and remove.

5. Pour approximately ½ glass of vinegar into the boiler and replace the sensor by turning

clockwise until tight.

6. Return the tank to original position, replace the tank, close the lid and refasten.

7. Turn on the Sea Hawk for approximately 1 minute then turn off.

8. Leave vinegar in the boiler for 12 hours,

9. After 12 hours, remove the senor knob and empty the vinegar solution from the boiler.

10. Clean the encrusted sensor with a scourer pad removing any encrusted deposits.

IMPORTANT: The first time the Sea Hawk is used following the descaling, remember to discharge steam into a cloth to catch the descaling product. Once the discharged steam is clear, the Sea Hawk is ready for use

Work Techniques

The temperature of the steam at the tip of the nozzle is between 312ºF - 285ºF, since the vapor is dry, it cools to 245ºF 4” from the tip less than 185ºF 8” inches from the tip. Most bacteria begins to die when exposed to temperatures of 245ºF so keeping the tip of the handle close to the work area is key to successful cleaning.

Floors

Floors –Use the large floor brush at low or medium steam volumes and a low or medium vacuum

setting. Use the extension wands by inserting one wand into the other making sure the lengthwise lines on them are all lined up with each other on each piece.

a. Tile – Use the large floor brush or triangle brush at low or medium steam setting and medium vacuum setting. Pre-treat stains or especia lly dirty areas with heat activated Vapormate®.

b. Vinyl or Wood – Use the large floor brush at a low steam setting. If the floor is especially dirty, pre-treat area lightly with clean e r s u c h as Murphy’s Oil Soap or Vapormate®.

NOTE: WHEN STEAMING A WOOD FLOOR, NEVER LET BRUSH STAND IN ONE PLACE WHILE STEAM TRIGGER IS ON. ALWAYS KEEP BRUSH MOVING. GO OVER AREA TWO OR THREE TIMES AS NEEDED AND ALWAYS USE A CLEAN TOWEL.

c. Waxed Vinyl Floors - Use large floor brush and if necessary, use the small triangle brush in corners and tight areas. Apply steam, cleaning a small area quickly as you go. This should melt a top layer of wax holding th e d irt in th e pores of the floor. If the floor is greasy or very dirty, yo u may need to repeat this procedure. It may be necess a ry to reapply floor sealer when finished.

d. Unwaxed Vinyl Floors - Use the large floor brush on low steam . Use a back and forth motion. NOTE: DO NOT OVERHEAT ANY KIND OF VINYL, SINCE THIS COULD SOFTEN THE

SURFACE AND AFFECT THE TEXTURE. THIS ALSO APPLIES WHEN USING SMALL BRUSHES TO REMOVE TOUGH SPOTS.

PRE-STEAM

Get into the habit of pre-steaming a surface if it is heavily soiled. At a 5-inch distance, sp r a y s t e a m on surface from all directions for 10 seconds.

PRE-TREAT

Use heat activated Vapormate® to pre-treat surface areas be fo re steaming.

SPEED

Let the heat do the work for you! Do not move too quickly, unless surface is sensitive to heat like wood, paint, wallpaper, colored fabrics or plastic.

WIPE

Always remember to wipe the area you just cleaned with a cotton towel. All surfaces have pores. Steam cleaners use steam vapor to open and deep clean into the surface pores. Wipe off dirt immediately before the surface cools down.

Page 12

e. Wood Parquet Floors - Use the large floor brush at low steam. Use heat activated Vapormate® for dirty floors.

f. Marble Floors - Use the same techniques as used for wood floors, keeping heat and moisture off the surface as much a s possible. Always use Marble conditioner afte r c le a n in g . NOTE: SOME MARBLE SURFACES CAN DISCOLOR.

STEAM CLEANING CARPETS

We do not recommend your Sea Hawk for steam cleaning large carpeted a reas but rather for spot cleaning. Man made carpet fibers melt at temperatures 300ºF and above. The heat from the vapor system does not melt the fibers, but it can change their shape or color at temperatures 185ºF-250ºF.

Tips for Treating Carpet Stains

a. Protein Stain: Dab with towel dampened with a solution of 1 teaspoon white vinegar and 1 quart of cold water. b. Food Dye Stain: Wet stain with a solution of water and lemon juice or white vinegar. c. Water Stain: First wet the stain with carbonated water, and then use triangular brush. d. Reoccurring Stain: If a stain comes up again and a g a in , it h a s a “ re s e rv o ir ” u n d e r th e p a d d ing. Before

removing the stain you have to dry it out first. Press a drying agent such as talcum powder, a mixture of cornstarch and cornmeal, or clean unscented, uncolored cat litter into the fibers do not rub. Let sit for 20 minutes, and then vacuum it out.

e. Surface Stain: If the stain is only on the surface of the carp e t, it c a n b e r e moved by shooting the steam against

the spot from the side, 1-2 inches above surface. Hold a towel on the other side to catch the residue. This prevents driving the particles deeper into the fibers.

f. Gum: Same technique as SURFACE STAIN, except use paper towel instead of cotton towel. If the gum melts

too much, let it cool off before trying a g a in . Once major part of gum is removed mist with a non-toxic c le a n in g formula and re-clean

Kitchen
