Using Your Steam Station™
pg 8 877-HAAN DIRECT / 877-422-6347 www.HAANUSA.com
Before using your Steam Station™:
1) Be sure to read ALL instructions and warnings
before using your HAAN®Steam Station™Garment
Steamer and Home Sanitizer.
2) Your garment steamer is designed to steam
fabrics throughout your home. Before steaming
an entire garment, 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 tank by opening the
Excess Water Removal Valve and emptying the
excess water into the sink.
3) Remove all parts from package and assemble the
unit as described on page 6.
Using the STEAM STATION™ with the Garment Valet:
4) Place the Steam Station in the Deluxe Garment
Valet on a firm surface. Adjust the Stabilizer
Wings of the base to provide balance. DO NOT
plug in the unit yet.

add water to the tank. (Optimum fill capacity of
unit is 2 cups/500cc.) There is a RED fill indicator
within water tank fill recess. This indicator will
rise as you fill the tank with water. When the
RED indicator nub is level with the interior ring
within the fill recess, the tank is full. Be careful
not to overflow the container. (Fig 1)
6) Plug the power cord into your electric receptacle.
7) Hang the steam head on the top of the Garment

8) Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. 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 Steam Station is ready.
9) 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 4)
10) When there is no more water in the tank, the Water
Refill indicator light will light up. (Fig 5) Hang the
steam head in the resting prongs. Turn your garment
steamer off and unplug the unit. Refill the tank as
directed in Step 5, plug the unit in and continue
steaming as before.
11) When you have finished using the Steam Station™,

the unit. If you will not be using the unit again soon,
be sure to drain all the remaining water from the
tank by opening the Excess Water Removal Valve
(Fig 6) and emptying the excess water into a sink.
HAAN®Helpful Hints:
To use the Garment Valet most effectively:

tubes on each side of the support until tightened
(as described in assembly instructions pg 6-7) and

move the wand lightly in upward and downward

CAUTION: Never hold steam head down while at
rest or tilt it in a backward position as this may result
in hot water discharge.
Using the Portable Steam Station™:
The GS-60 Steam Station™acts as a handy stand
steamer for garments on hangers, but quickly turns
into a portable steamer. Simply lift it out of the stand
and slip on the comfortable shoulder strap to easily
carry from room to room. So after you’ve steamed
your wardrobe, you can freshen and sanitize bedding,
draperies and upholstery.
12) Attach the padded Shoulder Strap to the canister
by clipping it to the openings found on both ends
of the unit’s top. Hang the unit from your shoulder
to determine what adjustment needs be done to
the strap. Make the adjustment so the unit hangs
comfortably and securely. (Fig 11)
13) Fill the included cup with water and use this to
add water to the tank. (Optimum fill capacity of
unit is 2 cups/500cc.) There is a RED fill indicator
within water tank fill recess. This indicator will
rise as you fill the tank with water. When the
RED indicator nub is level with the interior ring
within the fill recess, the tank is full. Be careful
not to overflow the container.
14) Attach the accessory needed to the steam head.
15) Plug the power cord into your electric receptacle.

!
i
CAUTION
Do not use the Steam Station™
on glass/windows if they are cold.
Doing so may result in the glass
cracking due to the hot steam.

Care & Maintenance
Always be sure that your Steam
Station™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.
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®Steam
Station™. You can purchase this directly from the
HAAN®web site (see below).
Steamer Maintenance:
 • Clean and rinse your steamer regularly.
 • Neveruseadditivessuchassalt,perfumeanddyes.
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Valet,
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

 • BesuretoturnyourHAAN®Steam Station™off

before doing any maintenance.
 • TocleantheexteriorbodyofyourHAAN®Steam

Storing the HAAN®Steam Station™:
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.
IMPORTANT

Troubleshooting and Questions

QUESTION: Does the GS-60 HAAN®Steam Station™
Garment Steamer actually iron or press clothing?
The GS-60 Garment Steamer doesn’t press clothing, but
rather, relaxes wrinkles. However, by using the hand pressing
board, you will be able to steam garments flat or crisp.
QUESTION: Does the HAAN®Steam Station™kill germs?
Yes, the 212°F steam kills germs, bacteria, dust mites and
other allergens – to leave fabrics fresh and clean.
QUESTION: Is the GS-60 HAAN®Steam Station™
Garment Steamer safe on all fabrics?
The GS-60 Steam Station™Garment Steamer can safely and
gently steam most fabrics. However, we recommend you test
a small seam, hem or hidden area of fabric before you steam
an entire garment – especially for delicate or vintage fabrics.
QUESTION: Should the water tank be filled with only
cold water?
Yes, fill the water tank only with cold water.
QUESTION: Do I have to use distilled water in my Steam
Station™Garment Steamer?
While we recommend the use of distilled water to maintain
optimum functionality and extend the life of your appliance,
tap water can be used in the Steam Station™. If you have
hard water in your area, we strongly recommend the use of
distilled water as well as regular use of the ‘Lime & Scale
Remover’ as part of your maintenance program. (see pg 14
for maintenance procedures)
QUESTION: How long does a full tank of water last?
With one tank of water, you can steam fabrics for
approximately 20 minutes with the GS-60 Steam Station™.
QUESTION: How do I know when the GS-60 is heated up
and ready to use?
When you have filled the tank, plugged in the unit and
turned it ON, it takes 40 seconds to heat up and be ready to
use. When you see a steady amount of steam emitting from
the steam vents on the steam head, all is ready.
