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.

QUICK START GUIDE
DO NOT PLUG IN STEAM CLEANER UNTIL INSTRUCTED
1. OPEN TANK LID AND ADD WATER TO THE STEAM AND VACUUM RESERVOIRS:Lift
both fasteners and remove the tank lid (figure 1). Remove the cap on the steam reservoir (figure 2) and
pour .9 Liters of water; replace the lid. Fill the vacuum reservoir (figure 2) with .7 liters of water. Fill
only to mark on the tank separators (figure 3). PURIFICATION TANK CAN BE REMOVED FOR
FILLING. Do NOT put cleaning fluids into the machine.

2. REPLACE TANK LID AND TIGHTEN BOTH FASTENERS
3. CONNECT HOSE AND POWER COMMAND TO THE SEA HAWK:Insert the vacuum hose with
the release button on the left side and the power command plug on top. Lift the silver hinge cover on
the front of the Sea Hawk and insert the power command connector.

4. PLUG IN THE Sea Hawk:Plug the power cord and you will hear a beep and the green connection
indicator light will start blinking. The Sea Hawk should be the only appliance plugged into the power
outlet. Use only a 15AMP rated or higher extension cord.
5. POWER: Push down on the power button and the orange steam indicator light will start flashing
signaling the boiler is building pressure. When the indicator light becomes solid then the Sea Hawk is
ready for steaming. Power Button

6. USING THE Sea Hawk: Once the boiler reaches pressure, the orange light indicator will go
solid. Pull the trigger on the hose handle for 10-15 seconds to BLEED excess water from the system.
When only steam is released from the hose, your system is ready to use.
7. STEAM CONTROL DIAL controls the amount of steam released. By turning the dial counter-
clockwise (toward the “+” sign on the dial), the steam will increase. To reduce amount of steam, turn
dial clockwise (toward the “–“ sign on the dial). Turning the dial all the way clockwise is the lowest
possible setting and no steam will come out when you press the steam
trigger.
8. SELECT AND ATTACH TOOL TO HOSE: Securely attach whichever
tool is needed to accomplish the task at hand, by using your
TOOL/APPLICATION GUIDE (Page 9).
9. USING THE VACUUM: Press and release the vacuum power button on the handle to turn on the
vacuum. The vacuum will start on the “LOW” setting. To turn the vacuum “off” push the same button
again. To increase the motor speed, push and HOLD” the vacuum power button on the handle. Push
the same button to decrease the motor speed.
NOTE: For maximum vacuum power, the steam function must be turned off.
10. REFILLING THE Sea Hawk: Your Sea Hawk needs refilling when the orange low water indicator
light turns on or the amount of steam becomes very light.

11. VACUUM LIQUIDS: To vacuum liquids, do not fill the purification tank with clean water. Use the
vacuum on low to medium power. The Sea Hawk can aspirate up to 1.4 liters of liquid before needing
to empty the tank.
12. AROMATHERAPY AND BALSAMTHERAPY: It is possible to add essential or balsamic oils
to the water in the purification tank.

EASY CLEAN SYSTEM™
AFTER EACH USE
1. PURIFICATION TANK: Remove the tank lid by lifting the fasteners. Remove the purification tank and
drain contents from the vacuum reservoir and boiler tank. Clean the tank and remove the yellow nebulizers
for additional cleaning. Rise with hot water until all residue and stains on the tank wall have been removed.
WARNING: The gray tank divider and nebulizer may be removed for cleaning but must be reassembled
correctly before using. Using the SteamVac without the divider or nebulizer filters could lead the serious
damage. The curved top of the divider should be facing forward and upwards with bottom securely
touching the tank.

Yellow Nebulization Filters
2. EXTERIOR: Clean the exterior of the SteamVac with wet cloth. Do not use solvents or detergents that
could damage the plastic surface.
CLEAN EVERY MONTH
3. CHECK AND CLEANING THE H.E.P.A FILTER: Filter care and maintenance are essential to
maintain the quality of air released from the Sea Hawk. We recommend checking the state of the filter at
least once per month if the appliance is used daily.
TO CLEAN: Remove the grill from the back of the Sea Hawk and remove the H.E.P.A. filter. Inspect the
filter for dirt and traces of dust. If there are traces of dust, shake and brush it gently to remove all visible
particles. Replace the filter and reassemble the cover.
WARNING: The H.E.P.A. filter must NOT be washed with water or detergent. If the filter shows traces of
mold or spores, replace the filter. If the filter should become wet, wait until it is completely dry before using.
4. ASPIRATING FILTER: The motor filter is designed to prevent dust and dirt particles from reaching the
vacuum motor. Use small pliers or tweezers to remove. Wash with cold water and detergent. Let it
completely dry before replacing.

CLEAN ONLY WHEN NEEDED
5. MOTOR ASPIRATING FILTER: The motor aspirating filter is a secondary filter used to prevent dust
and particles from reaching the motor.
TO CLEAN: Remove the tank, turn over the Sea Hawk, and find the lower cover. Unscrew and remove the
black filter. Wash with warm water and detergent. Make sure it is completely dry before replacing.

6. SENSORS: The overflow sensors can become encrusted with dirt and stop working correctly. Use a cue
tip with detergent or alcohol removing dirt particles.

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 ½glass 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
