Proper use

13EN

– 2

Safety devices serve for the protection of

the user and must not be put out of opera-

tion or bypassed with respect to their func-

tion.

The pressure controller keeps the boiler

pressure during the operation as constant

as possible. The heating is turned off if the

maximum operating pressure of 4 bar is

reached in the boiler and is reactivated in

case of a pressure drop in the boiler due to

steam tapping.

When the water in the boiler becomes ex-

hausted, the temperature of the heating in-

creases. The low-water thermostat turns off

the heating, and the red low-water indicator

lamp "water shortage" lights up. The heat-

ing is prevented from being turned on again

until the boiler has cooled down or been re-

filled with water.

If the low-water thermostat fails and the ap-

pliance overheats, the safety thermostat

turns off the steam cleaner.

Please contact your local KÄRCHER cus-

tomer service to arrange for the reset of the

safety thermostat.

The safety lock seals the boiler against the

steam pressure that builds up in the boiler.

If the pressure controller is defective and

the steam pressure in the boiler rises above

5.7 bar, a pressure control valve in the

safety lock opens, and steam is emitted

through the lock to the outside.

Please contact your local KÄRCHER cus-

tomer service before you put the appliance

into operation again.

Prior to treatment with the steam cleaner,

always check the reaction of the textiles in

an inconspicuous location: Steam heavily

at first, then let dry and then check for col-

our or shape changes.

Be careful when you clean kitchen and liv-

ing room furniture, doors, parquet, lac-

quered or plastic-coated surfaces. The

wax, furniture polish, plastic surfaces or

paint can come loose or stains can be cre-

ated. Therefore, always clean these surfac-

es with a steamed cloth only.

In case of low outside temperatures, espe-

cially in the winter, warm up the window

pane by slightly steaming the entire glass

surface. This will prevent tensions on the

surface which might lead to glass break-

age.

Slide the parts together until the respec-

tive locking button locks into place.

ÎPress down on the locking knob to sep-

arate the accessories.

ÎRemove the safety cap from the device.

ÎFill the boiler with a maximum of 2 liters

of fresh tap water using the filling fun-

nel. You can cut down the heating-up

time by using warm water.

Note

The boiler can be filled up to 2 cm below

the edge of the filler neck if the appliance is

ÎActuate the steam switch, steam will es-

cape. Always direct the steam gun at a

separate piece of cloth until the steam

is emitted evenly.

–The heating of the steam cleaner is

turned on during operation of the appli-

ance (indicator lamp glows yellow) in

order to maintain the pressure in the

boiler at a constant level.

–If the device is switched on without wa-

ter, initially, the indicator lamp "heating"

will glow yellow until the water shortage

thermostat switches the heating off. Af-

ter that, the indicator lamp "water short-

age" glows red.

ÎRegulate the steam volume during work

with standard accessories or with the

iron via the rotary knob on the appli-

ance.

ÎRegulate the steam volume during work

with standard accessories via the hand-

wheel on the steam gun. The rotary

knob on the appliance becomes inac-

tive.

Note

If the handwheel is set to a small quantity of

steam, steam may continue to be emitted

after the steam switch has been released

until the pressure in the steam hose has

been reduced. This pressure can be re-

lieved even faster by briefly setting the

steam value regulation to a large volume.

–In wet areas, you can also wash away

the dirt instead of absorbing it with the

cloth. For this, set the moisture of the

steam to regulate via VAPOHYDRO

regulation by means of the rotary knob.

The higher the humidity of the steam,

i.e. the more water is contained in the

steam jet, the higher the rinsing effect.

If you turn the rotary knob toward “+”

steam quantity, a hot water jet is

emerged, and the highest rinsing effect

is achieved.

–We recommend using the VAPOHY-

DRO in connection with the detail noz-

zle for cleaning the bathroom.

–VAPOHYDRO regulation when working

with cloths (floor nozzle, hand nozzle)

with the rotary knob all the way to "–" in

order to have as little moisture in the

steam jet as possible. The dirt loosen-

ing power of the steam is improved this

way.

Note

If you turn the rotary knob for the VAPOHY-

DRO regulation to "+", the boiler is emptied

more quickly.

Note

Once the water in the additional tank is

used up, there will be a signal emitted and

the indicator lamp for "water shortage in ad-

ditional tank" illuminates red.

ÎFill the additional tank with a maximum

of 2 liters of fresh tap water using the fill-

ing funnel.

Once the indicator lamp "heating" has gone

out, the system is ready for use.

Note

If the pump does not produce any water in

spite of the full additional tank, the boiler

must be descaled.

Danger

Hot water may drip out of the accessory

parts while you are detaching them! Never

detach accessory parts while steam

streams out - risk of scalding!

pliance.

Application examples for use of the steam

gun without accessories:

–to remove odours and wrinkles from

hanging clothes by steaming them at a

distance of 10 to 20 cm.

–to remove dust from plants. Here, keep

a distance of 20-40 cm.

–for moist dusting, by briefly steaming

the cloth and wiping the furniture with it.

–The closer you hold the nozzle to the

dirty spot, the higher the cleaning effect

as temperature and pressure of the

steam reach their maximum values im-

mediately when they are emitted from

the nozzle.

–The detail nozzle with the different at-

tachment is suited for cleaning difficult

to access points, such as corners,

grooves, etc. as well as blinds, central

heaters, toilets, stainless steel, mirrors,

mirrors, fixtures, coated and enameled

surfaces, loosening of stains.

–The power nozzle increases the emis-

sion speed of the steam. Therefore, it is

well-suited for cleaning very tough dirt,

blowing out corners, grooves, etc.

Note

The round brush is not suited for the clean-

ing of delicate surfaces.

–Suited for all washable wall and floor

coverings, e.g. stone floors, tiles and

PVC floors. Work slowly on very dirty

surfaces to allow the steam to act on the

dirt for a longer period of time.

–Flip and replace floor cloth regularly to

improve the dirt pickup.

Note

Detergent residue or care emulsions that

are still present on the surfaces to be

cleaned, can lead to smears when steam

cleaned. However, these will disappear

with repeated cleaning procedures.

ÎAttach the floor cloth to the floor nozzle.

1 Fold the floor cloth the long way and

place the floor nozzle on top of it.

2 Open holding clamps.

3 Place the cloth ends into the openings.

4 Close the holding clamps.

몇Warning

Do not insert fingers between the clamps.

Suited for small washable areas, shower

stalls, mirrors or furniture cloth material.

ÎConnect the steam plug of the iron to

the appliance.

ÎVAPOHYDRO regulation with rotary

knob, turn all the way to "-".

ÎSet the temperature controller at least

to 3 for ironing all types of fabrics. The

emitted steam prevents the fabric from

becoming overheated.

Once the indicator lamp on the iron has

gone out, the system is ready for use.

Note

The higher the temperature setting, the dry-

er and more invisible the steam; however,

the steam volume remains the same.
