Care & Maintenance
Always be sure that your
Garment Steamer is
UNPLUGGED from the wall
receptacle prior to cleaning
or before emptying the
water tank.
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 HAAN
®
Professional Sanitizing Garment Steamer You can
purchase this by calling HAAN
®
Direct (see below).
Steamer Maintenance:
• Clean and rinse your steamer regularly.
• Never use additives such as salt, perfume and dyes.
Only additives authorized by HAAN
®
are acceptable
to use in the Garment Steamer. Do not introduce
detergents and/or soap to the water tank. These
substances will corrode or clog internal parts.
• When steaming clothes using the Garment Steamer
hold the steam head in a vertical, upright position.
Hold the steam head vents away from you and
steam in a vertical up and down motion. This
will allow the condensation in the hose to flow
back into the steamer.
• Do not pull the steamer by the power cord; pulling
the steamer by the power cord may cause the
internal wiring to become loose.
• Be sure to turn your HAAN
®
Garment Steamer off
and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet
before doing any maintenance.
• To clean the exterior body of your Garment
Steamer, wipe it down with a damp cloth.
Storing the HAAN
®
Garment Steamer:
Before storing the steamer for an extended period
(30 days or more), empty all water from the unit.
Water becomes stale with time and may clog
internal parts. Be sure to allow the unit to cool
completely before removing excess water.
