Safety instructions

English 7

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 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.

Attaching the accessories

English 9

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!

Move the selector switch for the steam

volume back (steam lever locked).

Illustration

To detach the accessory parts, press

the unlocking button and pull the items

apart.

The water reservoir may be refilled at any

time.

Caution

Do not use condensation water from the

drier!

Do not fill with detergent or other additives

(for example fragrances)!

Do not use pure distilled water! Max. 50%

distilled water and 50% tap water.

Do not use collected rain water!

Illustration

You can remove the water reservoir to fill it

or you can fill it directly on the appliance.

Pour water from a container into the

funnel inlet. Fill up to the "MAX" mark-

ing.

Pull the water reservoir straight up.

Fill the water reservoir up to the "MAX"

marking while positioned vertically un-

der the water tap.

Insert the water reservoir and press

downwards until it arrests.

Place the unit securely on a firm sur-

face.

Insert the mains plug into a socket.

Press the ON/OFFswitch to turn on the

appliance.

Indicator lamp "heating on" is blinking

(green)

Note: If there is no or not enough water in

the steam boiler, the water pump starts and

supplies water from the reservoir into the

steam boiler. The filling process may take

several minutes.

Wait until the indicator lamp (heater)

lights up permanently.

The steam cleaner is ready to use.

Note: The appliance closes the valve every

60 seconds. This prevents the calcifying of the

appliance. There will be a slight audible click.

The steam delivery is not impaired by this.

In case of water shortage, the indicator

lamp "water shortage" glows red in the wa-

ter reservoir and a signal can be heard.

Note: Every time there is not enough water

in the steam boiler, the pump automatically

supplies water from the water reservoir into

the steam boiler. If the water reservoir is

empty, the water pump is not able to fill the

steam boiler and the steam tapping is

blocked.

Fill the water reservoir up to the "MAX"

marking.

Note: The water pump tries to fill the steam

boiler in short intervals. If the filling is suc-

cessful, the steam tapping is released im-

mediately, and the red indicator lamp goes

out.

Use the selector switch for the steam vol-

ume to regulate the discharged steam. The

selector switch has three positions:

Set selector switch to the required

steam volume.

While operating the steam switch, al-

ways direct the steam gun at a separate

piece of cloth until the steam is emitted

evenly.

Note: The heating of the steam cleaner

is turned on in regular intervals during

the operation of the appliance in order

to maintain the pressure in the boiler at

a constant level. Then the indicator

lamp (heater) blinks green.

Press the ON/OFF switch to turn off the

appliance.

Disconnect the mains plug from the

socket.

Press the cover of the appliance con-

nector to the bottom and disconnect the

steam plug from the appliance connec-

tor.

Empty the residual water from the water

reservoir.

Illustration -

Store the power nozzle and the round

brush in the accessory compartment.

Insert the manual nozzle and detail noz-

zle onto each extension pipe.

Put the extension pipes into the large

accessory 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.

Stow away the mains cable in the ac-

cessory holder for the mains cable.

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.
