Safe handling

English 5

몇CAUTION

Do not screw the safety lock onto the

appliance during decalcification.

Do not use the steam cleaner as long as

there is decalcifying agent in the boiler.

Be careful when filling and draining the

steam cleaner with the decalcifying so-

corrode sensitive surfaces.

몇CAUTION

Symbols depending on unit type.

Please read the operating in-

structions!

몇CAUTION

Safety devices protect the user and must

not be modified or bypassed.

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.

The safety thermostat turns off the appli-

ance if the pressure controller fails and the

appliance overheats in case of a malfunc-

tion. Please contact your local KÄRCHER

customer 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 defect and the

steam pressure in the boiler rises, a pres-

sure 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.

–Put the extension pipes into the large

accessory compartments.

–Insert the manual nozzle and detail noz-

zle onto each extension pipe.

–Put the round brush into the medium

acessory compartments.

–Hook the floor nozzle into the parking

position.

–Wrap the steam hose around the exten-

sion pipes and insert the steam pistol

into the floor nozzle.

It is recommended to sweep or vacuum the

floor prior to using the steam cleaner. This

way, the floor is already cleared of dirt/

loose particles prior to the wet cleaning.

Prior to treatment with the steam cleaner,

always check the reaction of the textiles in

an inconspicuous location: Steam at first,

then let dry and then check for colour or

shape changes.

When cleaning painted or plastic-coated

surfaces, as found on kitchen and living

room furniture, doors, parquet; wax, furni-

ture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can

come loose or stains can be created. When

cleaning these surfaces, briefly steam a

cloth and wipe the surfaces with it.

ATTENTION

Never direct the steam jet at glued edges

as the edge band may loosen. Do not use

the steam cleaner on unsealed wooden or

parquet floors.

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.

Then clean the window surface with the

hand nozzle and attachment. Use a squee-

gee to remove the water or wipe the surfac-

es dry.

ATTENTION

Do not direct steam onto the sealed loca-

tions of the window frame to prevent dam-

age.
