Safety instructions

English 5

Caution

Make sure that the power cable or ex-

tension cables are not damaged by run-

ning over, pinching, dragging or similar.

Protect the power cable from heat, oil,

and sharp edges.

Never fill solvents, solvent-containing

liquids or undiluted acids (e.g. deter-

gents, benzene, paint thinner, and ace-

tone) into the water reservoir as these

substances affect the materials used on

the appliance.

The appliance must not be carried dur-

ing cleaning.

scription and/or figure.

The steam switch must not be locked

during the operation.

Protect the appliance from rain. Do not

store outside.

Caution

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.

If, in case of a malfunction, there is no wa-

ter in the boiler, the temperature in the boil-

er rises. The boiler thermostat turns off the

heating. Once the boiler is filled, normal op-

eration can continue.

The safety thermostat turns off the appli-

ance if the boiler thermostat and the pres-

sure controller fails and the appliance

overheats in case of a malfunction. Please

contact your local KÄRCHER customer

service to arrange for the reset of the safety

thermostat.

The maintenance lock acts as a pressure

control valve at the same time. It 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, the pres-

sure control valve, and steam is emitted

through the maintenance lock to the out-

side.

Please contact your local KÄRCHER cus-

tomer service before you put the appliance

into operation again.

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.

Caution

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.

Caution

Do not direct steam onto the sealed loca-

tions of the window frame to prevent dam-

age.
