SHUT DOWN
1) Push ON/OFF button.
2) Clean vacuum collection Tank.
3) Remove the collection tank and drain contents from the vacuum reservoir and steam
reservoir tank. Clean the tank and remove the yellow nebulizers for additional cleaning.
Rinse with hot water until all residue and stains on the tank wall have been removed.
4) Empty hot water / extraction bottle.
5) Clean the exterior of the SeaHawk with a wet cloth.
ØDo not use solvents or detergents that could damage the plastic surface

HELPFUL HINTS
1) Set steam control to low or medium steam pressure for most cleaning applications. High
steam pressure is best utilized for only extreme stains or dirty areas.
2) Use tap water for quicker heating. You may use distilled water, but the SeaHawk will take
longer to heat.
3) Use steam only when sanitizing a surface area.
4) Extraction is best used for deep cleaning including floors and upholstery.
After each cleaning, prepare the SeaHawk for its next use,
by refilling all water and vacuum tanks.

Extraction
Your steam vacuum u s e s a separate reservoir tank to inject water in to th e steam as
it’s released from the extraction nozzle. Use the extraction function in combination
with the vacuum for deeper cleaning of soft and hard surfaces.
ØUse the extraction nozzle for cleaning furniture, curtains, mattress, windows,
walls, and floors.
ØAfter cleaning, use the vacuum to remove excess water for faster drying.

WA R N I N G
The yellow nebulizers may be removed for cleaning but must be
replaced before using. Using the SeaHawk without nebulizer filters
could lead the serious damage.

To extend the life of your SeaHawk, we recommend de-scaling the boiler and the electronic
sensor every 6 months. After prolonged periods of activity, lime scale deposits build up in the
boiler and can make the boiler unusable.
How to De-Scale:
1) Unplug from the wall.
ØThe boiler should be cooled to room temperature
ØRemove the vacuum collection tank and empty
2) Turn the steamer upside down, identifying the boiler cap.
ØUnscrew by turning counter-clockwise and remove
ØClean the sensor on the boiler cap with a scouring pad removing any encrusted deposits
3) De-scaling the boiler:
ØPour de-scaling solution consisting of 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water into the boiler
and replace the cap by turning clockwise until tight
4) Turn the SeaHawk ON for approximately 1 minute, then turn off.
ØLeave de-scaling solution in the boiler for 60 minutes
6) Empty the de-scaling solution from the boiler by turning over the SeaHawk and removing
cap draining the excess de-scaling solution.
7) Fill boiler with tap water to rinse.
8) If the rinse water is clear of mineral deposits, then the SeaHawk is ready for use.
ØYou may ne e d t o re-rinse the boiler if the water is not clear
