Turn your steam cleaner off and unplug from the electrical outlet.

Wrap power cord around cord hangers.

Let your steam cleaner cool for five (5) minutes before removing the Ultra-Microfiber pad and before emptying the water tank.

Always empty the water tank when you have finished using your steam cleaner.

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.

Wipe your steam cleaner with a damp cloth to clean. Never immerse the unit in water or any other liquid.

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.

Ultra-Microfiber Pads for HAAN

®

Steam Mop

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

4.

To keep the floor clean and dry, replace the pad when it is dirty.

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

3.

Using a washing machine may shorten the lifespan of the pads.

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 Ultra-Microfiber pad may be used to act as a “blotter” for removing most fresh, wet spills and stains.

Before Using Your 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:

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.

Helpful Hint:

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.

CAUTION

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

IMPORTANT

This product is NOT for space heating purposes.

CAUTION

HAAN

Commonly Asked Questions

Q: Can the HAAN

®

Steam Cleaner be used on laminate flooring?

A: Yes. Your steam mop 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 mop 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 an overly wet pad.

Q: How long does a tank of water last?

A: A full tank will last approximately 20-25 minutes but it is dependent on the steam setting used.

Q: Sometimes my steam cleaner becomes hard to push - why?

A: If the unit is hard to push it’s 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 on carpet?

A: The carpet glide is to be used without the Ultra-Microfiber Pad and can be attached directly to the unit.

Q: Does the HAAN

®

work on pet stains?

A: Yes, the HAAN

®

is able to spot clean fresh pet stains by loosening and lifting the stain.

Q: How can I prolong the life of my HAAN

®

?

A: To maintain the life of your unit, we recommend using the Fresh Rinse

TM

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.
