HELPFUL HAAN® HINT:
Use cold water. While
it is acceptable to use
regular tap water, if the
tap water in your area is
hard, we recommend you
use distilled/purified water
to extend the life of your
appliance.
Operating Instructions:
Before using your Garment Steamer:
•BesuretoreadALLinstructionsandwarnings
before using your HAAN® Professional Sanitizing
Garment Steamer.
•YourGarmentSteamerisdesignedtosteamfabrics throughout your home. Before steaming
an entire garment or other fabric, be sure to test
steam a small portion of the fabric in an interior
portion of the garment near a hem or seam.
NOTE: After each use, completely empty any
remaining water from the internal tank. Cool the
Garment Steamer for at least 30 minutes after use.
Water can be drained from the internal tank by
opening the Excess Water Removal Valve and
emptying the excess water into a sink. (see pg 13)
•Removeallpartsfrompackageandassembletheunit as described on page 9.Do not plug the unit in.
Using the Garment Steamer for the rst time:
1) Rest the Steam Wand in the Steam Wand Cradle.
We do not recommend laying the steam head
down. The Cradle makes a conveninent holder
in between uses.
2) Pull up on the handle of the removable Water
Tank (orange) and lift it from the recess in the base.
(Fig 1)
3) Carry the orange water tank to the sink or other
water source. Turn the tank upside-down and unscrew the water refill cap.(Fig 2)
4) Fill the tank with COLD water to the level of the
desired usage time. A full tank of water offers 60
minutes of continuous steaming. There are time
increments indicated on the side of the tank to
help you fill it with the correct amount of water.
DO NOT overfill the tank.

5) Align the cap and screw it on securely. Be sure
to get it tight.To avoid any leakage or dripping,
we recommend that you carry it back to the base
with the cap up rather than by the handle.
6) Hold the Reservoir Tank over the recess in the base
and turn it over so the cap is now facing down.
Hold the handle and insert the Reservoir Tank,
aligning the cap as you lower it into the recess
and over the Water Release Prong in the center.
Note: In the center of the recess there is a black
prong standing upright that fits into the cap. There
is a spring activated stopper that seals the water
into the tank. When you fit the Water Release Prong
(Fig 3) into the cap it opens this stopper and
releases the water into the base where the steam
will be generated.
7) Plug the unit into a grounded wall outlet. Press
the Power Button to turn the unit on. (Fig 4a)
Upon pressing the Power Button, the Power Light
will illuminate to indicate the power is ON. (Fig 4b)
8) The unit will heat up in less than 40 seconds.
Once you see that a steady steam vapor is emitted
from the steam head, the Garment Steamer is ready.
9) With the Steam Wand hanging from the prongs of
the Cradle, align the shoulders of your garment on
the hanger and allow it to hang freely. (Fig 5)
10) Hold the wand of the steam head firmly and slowly move it up and down, and then across the
garment surface until the wrinkles are removed
to your satisfaction. Always keep the steam head
positioned with the steam jets pointing away from
you and horizontal to the garment surface. (Fig 6)
One full tank of water will provide 60 minutes
of steam. Rest the Steam Wand in the Cradle when
changing garments.
11) When there is no more water in the tank, the Water
Refill Indicator Light will light up. (Fig 7) Hang the
steam head in the resting prongs. Turn your Garment
Steamer off and unplug the unit. Refill the orange
Removable Reservoir Tank as directed in Steps 1-5,
plug the unit in and continue steaming as before.

• The Crease Tool attaches to the steam head for
perfect creases or crisp shirt cuffs and collars. Just
clip it to the tab on the underside of the steam head.
Place the garment between the steam head and the
open Crease Tool, close to hold the crease firmly while steaming it to set. (Fig 9)
Use the extra clip to hold sleeves tight while
steaming or as extra tension on hems using the
bottom crossbar. (Fig 10)
When attending to detailed pressing of a garment,
one hand can be used to control the wand of the
steam head and the other hand, in the Pressing
Mitt, can hold the garment so that tension can be
achieved. There is an additional clip that can be
used to help hold the garment. The hand holding
the garment and the hand holding the wand should
move in unison for quick and easy steaming.
move the wand lightly in upward and downward
movements. Wagging the handle side to side can
result in water droplets falling from the steam head
openings. (Fig 11a & 11b)
CAUTION: Never hold steam head down while at
rest or tilt it in a backward position as this may result
in hot water discharge.

HINT:
Mineral Deposits:
One problem with a steamer appliance is the mineral
deposits caused by the high mineral content in many
municipal water supplies. Mineral residue inside of
the internal pipes and heater can cause intermittent
steaming or, in some cases, no steam at all.
To reduce or eliminate the occurrence of mineral deposits,
we recommend the use of de-mineralized or distilled
water in the unit. However, regular tap water may be
used in the Garment Steamer.
If regular tap water is used, we recommend the use
of a ‘Lime & Scale Remover’ every 2 or 3 months to
®
ensure optimum functionality from your HAANProfessional Sanitizing Garment Steamer You can
®
purchase this by calling HAAN
Direct (see below).
