Activate by pushing and holding the button on the hose handle, until the light turns on.

Increase / Decrease water injection by pushing and holding the button on the console.

Vacuum

Activate the VACUUM:

• Pushing the button on the console OR

The indicator light will change colors depending on the level of suction.
Green = Low Suction
Orange = Medium Suction
Red = High Suction

Warning:
To use the vacuum to soak up water, the polyester filter must be removed first.

Extraction

Your steam vacuum uses a separate reservoir tank to inject water into the 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.

• Use the extraction nozzle for cleaning furniture, curtains, mattress, windows, walls, and floors.
• After cleaning, use the vacuum to remove excess water for faster drying.

Maintenance

Your SteamHero will require minimal maintenance,

IF you use it regularly or
IF you clean and drain water from the boiler when not in use.

After Each Use

• Clean all accessories with hot soapy water
• Clean hose
• Empty vacuum bucket
• Check and clean vacuum filter
• Refill Steam and Extraction Reservoir tanks

Every 4-6 Months

• Descale the boiler (instructions on page 11)
• Check and replace vacuum filter as needed

Once per Year

• Check O-rings on hose and extension wands for wear or damage
• Replace O-rings if needed (you received an O-ring kit with your purchase)

De-scaling

Hard water will cause lime mineral deposits to build up in the boiler. This can damage the boiler if not removed by descaling. We recommend descaling the SteamHERO every 6 months or earlier if the warning indicator light starts flashing and the display shows the word: CLEAN

WARNING: The SteamHERO MUST be cool and at room temperature before descaling.

1. Identify drain cap on bottom of SteamHERO.

2. Turn the cap counter-clockwise.

3. Place container under the drain cap to catch the water.

4. Remove cap and drain boiler completely.

5. Replace drain cap and hand tighten.

6. Completely empty the steam reservoir tank.

7. Mix ¼ gallon vinegar + ¼ gallon water and pour into steam reservoir tank.

8. Turn SteamHERO “ON” for 1 minute to fill the boiler with de-scaling mixture.

9. Add enough descaling mixture into the boiler to cover the bottom surface.

10. Turn “OFF” the SteamHERO and let mixture sit in boiler for 30 minutes.

11. After 30 minutes, remove drain cap and completely empty mixture from boiler.

12. Replace drain cap and hand tighten.

13. Empty descaling mixture from reservoir tank and fill with tap water.
    If the descaling mixture draining from boiler is extremely dirty, repeat steps and descale a 2nd time.
