Be sure to read ALL instructions and warnings before using your HAAN® Steam Cleaner.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock: Be sure to read and follow all instructions and warn­ings.
CAUTION
The unit emits steam at 212˚F to sanitize the area of use. This means that the steam head, Ultra-Microfiber Pads and Carpet Glide get very hot during use. Care should be taken when using this appliance. DO NOT touch them during use except in the approved manner as outlined in this manual.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
For household use only. Any other use of this appliance will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
1. Do not direct steam at people, animals, or at electrical outlets.

18. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments – use of attachments not provided or sold by HAAN® may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
Important Safety Instructions
19. Never put descaling, aromatic, alcoholic or detergent products into the steam cleaner, as this may damage it or make it unsafe for use.
20. Unplug by grasping the plug, not the cord.
21. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
22. If the circuit breaker activates while using the steam function, discontinue product use immediately and contact the customer support center. (Beware of the risk of electrical shock.)
23. Do not allow the product to be disassembled and/ or modified by anyone other than an authorized service technician. (Doing so can result in fire and/ or electrical shock.)

IMPORTANT
WARNING
DO NOT modify the plug. Improper connection can result in a risk of electrical shock.
Electrical Plug Instructions:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electri­cian. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Operating Instructions
Care & Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Always ensure that your steam cleaner is UNPLUGGED from the wall receptacle prior to cleaning or emptying the water tank.
CAUTION
Do not immerse your steam cleaner in water or any other liquid.
CAUTION
Always opperate steam cleaner by grip­ing the handle. Do not grip the pole.
1. Turn your steam cleaner off and unplug from the electrical outlet.
2. Wrap power cord around cord hangers.
3. Let your steam cleaner cool for five (5) minutes before removing the Ultra-Microfiber Pad and before emptying the water tank.
4. Always empty the water tank when you have finished using your steam cleaner.
5. Never leave Ultra-Microfiber Pad on steam cleaner when you have finished using it. Always remove the Ultra-Microfiber Pad and wash in warm water with a mild detergent. Never use bleach or fabric softener when cleaning the Ultra-Microfiber Pad. The Ultra-Microfiber Pad can be washed in a washing machine and dried in a clothes dryer but on low heat. To decrease pad wear, we recommend the pad be hung to dry for 24 hours.
6. Wipe your steam cleaner with a damp cloth to clean. Never immerse the unit in water or any other liquid.
7. In order to keep your steam cleaner in good condition, we recommend that you clean the water tank once a month to eliminate calcium deposits. Add eight ounces (8 oz) of water to the water tank and insert 1 packet of Fresh Rinse™ Lime and Scale Remover. Shake to loosen any deposits. Place unit on resting mat without pad, turn unit on and allow water to steam until water in tank is depleted. Do
not use vinegar or other decalcifying substances in the steam cleaner water tank.
Helpful Hints
1. Always use a vacuum or sweep before sanitizing your floors.
2. The easiest way to use the machine is to tilt the handle to a 45º angle and clean slowly 2-3 yards at a time.
Helpful Hints Cont.
3. A good amount of steam passes through the Ultra-Microfiber Pad. We recommend that the Ultra-Microfiber Pad be changed when it becomes oversaturated.
4. To remove stubborn stains from vinyl or linoleum floors, pre-treat with a mild detergent and some water before using the steam cleaners.
Ultra-Microfiber Pads for HAAN® Steam Cleaners
What is an Ultra-Microfiber?
An Ultra-Microfiber is a textile fiber that is thinner and more absorbent than a micro­fiber (1.0dtex) pad typically used with steam mops. Specifically, to be defined as an Ultra-Microfiber, it should be less than 0.2dtex. The Ultra-Microfiber pad by HAAN Corporation is made of .17dtex Ultra-Microfibers.
How to Use Ultra-Microfiber Pads
1. Please make sure that a completely dry pad is used.
2. As high temperature steam passes through a pad to contact the floor to kill germs, molds, mites and to provide a certain amount of water necessary for cleaning, it is natural that the pad gradually absorbs moisture. After a certain length of time, the pad repels water and becomes damp.
3. To keep the floor clean and dry, replace the pad when it is dirty.
4. Only remove pad from unit when not in use and steam is not being emitted.
How to Clean and Store
1. Hand wash or machine wash the Ultra-Microfiber Pad in cold water on the delicate cycle with a mild detergent. (Do not use a fabric softener)
2. Using a washing machine may shorten the lifespan of the pads.
3. We recommend air drying the Ultra-Microfiber Pad for 24 hours, but they could be dried in a dryer on a low heat setting.

Helpful Hint:
To extend the life of your Ultra-Microfiber Pads, always place your unit on the floor protector/resting mat while the unit heats up. Attach the Ultra-Micro­fiber Pad when the unit is ready to use.
Helpful Hint:
When using the steam cleaner with the Carpet Glide it will not lift all set-in stains from your carpet. Our patented Ultra-Mi­crofiber Pad may be used to act as a “blotter” for removing most fresh, wet spills and stains.
Before Using Your Floor Steam Cleaner
Be sure to read ALL instructions and warnings before using your Steam Cleaner.
WARNING
Your steam cleaner is designed to clean hard floor surfaces that will withstand high heat. Do not use on unsealed wood or unglazed ceramic floors. On surfaces that have been treated with wax or some no-wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action. It is always recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding. We also recommend that you check the use and care instructions from the floor manufacturer.
Helpful Hint: Helpful Hint:
When heated, never leave the ap­pliance in one spot on any surface for any period of time. Always place your Steam Cleaner on the Floor Protector/Resting Mat when stationary.
Always empty water from water tank after use. To ensure opti­mum product function use Fresh Rinse™ once a month.
Before Using Your Steam Cleaner cont.

Use only a heavy duty extension cord rated for 15 amps minimum – DO NOT use an ordinary extension cord.

Commonly Asked Questions
Q: Can the HAAN® Steam Cleaner be used on laminate flooring?
A: Yes. Your steam cleaner was designed to be gentle on delicate flooring, yet power­ful enough to penetrate stains and kill harmful germs and bacteria.
It is recommended that the flooring manufacturer be contacted to see if it is OK to clean the floor with steam. Leaving the steam cleaner sitting in one spot while steam­ing could result in discoloration of flooring.
Q: How long can an Ultra-Microfiber Pad be used until it needs to be changed?
A: The pad should be changed every 10 minutes, or when it becomes saturated with water. The unit will become harder to push with a overly wet pad.
Q: How long does a tank of water last?
A: A full tank will last approximately 20 minutes as a steam cleaner and 13 minutes as a handheld.
Q: Sometimes my steam cleaner becomes hard to push - why?
A: If the unit is hard to push its likely because the Ultra-Microfiber Pad is too wet or the angle at which you are using the machine is too high.
Q: How do you use the Carpet Glide for my carpet?
A: The carpet glide is to be used without the Ultra-Microfiber Pad and can be attached directly to the unit.
Q: How can I prolong the life of my HAAN®?
A: To maintain the life of your unit, we recommend using the Fresh Rinse™ once a month.
Q: Will the HAAN® Steam Cleaner clean grout?
A: Yes, but it needs a little help. If you glide your HAAN® over the problem areas and then scrub with your Ultra-Microfiber Pad, it should effectively clean your grout. How­ever, it will not remove discoloration as this has been absorbed into the grout.
Q: Can I use the lower steam setting for my handheld?
A: Yes. The low steam setting can be used with the handheld but the steam control button must be pressed and held to engage the lower steam setting.
