at 212˚F to sanitize  
the area of use. This  
means that the steam  
head and attachments

manner as outlined in  
this manual.

24.  
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.)  
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.)  
This product is NOT for space heating purposes.  
Grounding Instructions:  
IMPORTANT  
WARNING  
The handheld cleaner must be connected to a grounded  
(3-prong) wiring system. Grounding provides a safe path of  
least resistance for electrical current in the event the unit  
should malfunction or break down, thereby reducing the  
risk of electrical shock. The cord for this product has an  
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Do  
not plug it into an outlet that is not properly installed and  
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.  
DO NOT modify  
the plug. Improper  
connection of the  
equipment-grounding  
conductor can result  
in a risk of electrical  
shock.  
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you  
aren’t sure if the outlet is properly grounded. If it will not fit  
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified elec-  
trician. This appliance is designed for use on a nominal 120-  
volt circuit and has a grounding attachment plug as illustrat-  
ed below. Make certain that the appliance is connected to  
an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No plug  
adapter should be used with this appliance.  
If an extension cord is  
necessary, a mini-  
mum of 15 ampere/14  
gauge cord should be  
used. Cords rated for  
less may overheat.

Before Using Your Handheld Steam Cleaner  
Be sure to read ALL instructions and warnings before using  
your Handheld Steam Cleaner.  
CAUTION  
After plugging in the power cord and beginning to heat, a fixed amount of water is  
released due to the build-up of internal pressure. After heating is complete, spray  
the steam 2 to 3 times before affixing or switching any additional attachment.  
CAUTION  
Use a grounded receptacle. Use only a heavy duty extension cord rated for 15 amps  
minimum – DO NOT use an ordinary extension cord. To provide continued protec-  
tion against the risk of electric shock, connect to a properly grounded outlet only.  
CAUTION  
The handheld steam cleaner is designed to clean hard surfaces and upholstery that  
will withstand high heat. DO NOT use on soft plastic and cold glass. On surfaces  
that have been treated with wax, or on some no-wax floors, the sheen may be  
removed by the heat and steam action. DO NOT use on unsealed wood. This could  
cause the wood panel to rise. It is recommended that an isolated surface area be  
tested to verify suitability before proceeding to the rest of the area.  
CAUTION  
After use, pressure will exist within the product. Press the Control Trigger to elimi-  
nate this pressure prior to opening the Pressure Locking Safety Cap.

Commonly Asked Questions  
Q: What surfaces can be sanitized by using the steam cleaner?  
A: Your steam cleaner is designed to clean hard surfaces like laminates & counter-  
tops, stovetops and tile, ceramic and glass as well as upholstery; any surface that will  
withstand high heat.  
DO NOT use on soft plastic and cold glass. On surfaces that have been treated with  
wax, or on some no-wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam.  
DO NOT use on unsealed wood. This could cause the wood panel to rise. It is recom-  
mended that an isolated surface area be tested to verify suitability before proceeding  
to the rest of the area.  
Q: Why does the “Steam Ready” light go on and off when steam cleaning?  
A: This indicates the unit is re-pressurizing itself.  
Q: How long does a tank of water last?  
A: A full tank will last approximately 7.5 minutes.  
Q: Do I have to use distilled water?  
A: No. But if the tap water in your area is hard it is recommended that distilled/puri-  
fied water be used to extend the life of your handheld steam cleaner.  
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: Why can’t I open the Pressure Locking Safety Cap during operation?  
A: The high water temperature and pressure inside the tank present a safety hazard.  
The cap is designed so that it can only be removed when the internal tank pressure  
and / or temperature is low.  
Q: Will the HAAN® PowerProTM HS-22Q clean grout?  
A: Yes, but it needs a little help. Steam the grout to loosen dirt and then scrub with  
the Detail Brush attachment. However, it will not remove discoloration as this has been  
absorbed into the grout.  
Q: Where does the dirt go?  
A: The HS-22Q does not have a suction feature, so it does not pick up loose dirt. Be-  
fore steaming, vacuum or sweep away loose dirt. After steaming it is recommended  
that the steamed area be wiped down with a towel to remove any loosened dirt.
