(according to type of appliance)

	Risk of burns, surface of appliance becomes hot during operation
	Risk of scalding from steam
	Read the operating instructions
USE WATER ONLY	Only fill water without additives into the water reservoir

The pressure controller keeps the pressure in the steam boiler as constant as possible during operation. The heating is switched off when the maximum operating pressure is reached in the steam boiler and is activated if there is a pressure drop in the steam boiler as a result of a steam removal.

The safety lock seals the steam boiler from the steam pressure present. If the pressure regulator is defective and overpressure occurs in the steam boiler, an pressure relief valve opens in the safety lock and steam leaks out through the lock.

Prior to restarting the appliance, contact the responsible KÄRCHER Customer Service.

The safety thermostat prevents the device from overheating. If the pressure controller fails and the device overheats, then the safety thermostat switches the device off.

To reset the safety thermostat, contact the responsible KÄRCHER Customer Service.

The maximum amount of equipment is described in these operating instructions. Depending on the model used, there are differences in the scope of delivery (see packaging).

We recommend sweeping the floor or vacuum cleaning it before using the appliance. In this way the floor will be cleared of dirt and loose particles before the wet cleaning.

Prior to using the appliance, always check the compatibility of the textiles at a concealed point: Steam down the textile, allow it to dry and then check it for any change in colour or shape.

ATTENTION

Damaged surfaces

Steam can loosen wax, furniture polish, plastic coatings or paint and edge band from edges.

Do not direct the steam at glued laminated edges as the edge band may loosen. Do not use the appliance for cleaning unsealed wood or parquet floors.Do not use the appliance for cleaning painted or plastic coated surfaces such as kitchen or living room furniture, doors or parquet.

1. To clean these surfaces, steam a cloth briefly and use it to wipe over the surfaces.

ATTENTION

Glass breakages and damaged surfaces

Steam can damage sealed points of the window frame and, at low outside temperatures, lead to tension on the surface of window panes and hence to glass breakages.

Do not direct the steam at sealed points on the window frame.At low outside temperatures, heat up the window panes by gently steaming the full surface of the glass.

• Clean the window area with a hand nozzle and cover. To remove the water, use a squeegee or wipe the surfaces dry.

The steam gun can be used for the following applications without accessories:

• For removing slight creases from the hanging clothing items: Steam the clothing item from a distance of 10-20 cm.

• For wiping damp dust: Steam a cloth briefly and use it to wipe over the furniture.

The spotlight nozzle is suitable for cleaning areas, joins, fittings, drains, sinks, WCs, blinds or radiators that are difficult to access. The closer the spotlight nozzle is to the soiled area, the greater the cleaning efficiency will be as the temperature and steam volume are at their highest at the nozzle opening. Larger lime deposits can be treated before steam cleaning with a suitable detergent. Allow the detergent to soak in for approx. 5 minutes and then steam it off.

1. Slide the spotlight nozzle onto the steam gun.

   ---

   

The small round brush is used for cleaning stubborn dirt. Stubborn dirt can be removed more easily by brushing.

1. Fit the round brush to the spotlight nozzle.

   ---

   

The large round brush is suitable for cleaning large rounded surfaces, e.g. wash basin, shower tray, bath tub, kitchen sink.

1. Fit the large round brush to the spotlight nozzle.

   ---

   

The power nozzle is used for cleaning stubborn dirt, blowing down corners, joins etc.

1. Install the power nozzle onto the spotlight nozzle according to the round brush.

   ---

   

The hand nozzle is used for cleaning small areas that can be washed down, shower cubicles and mirrors.

1. Push the hand nozzle onto the steam gun according to the spotlight nozzle.

   ---

   

2. Pull the cover over the hand nozzle.

For cleaning glass, windows or mirrors easily and thoroughly.

The steam output opening evenly steams glass.

1. Push the window nozzle onto the steam gun according to the spotlight nozzle.

   ---

   

2. Working in strips from top to bottom, drag the squeegee nozzle along the glass surface.

3. After every strip, dry the squeegee and the bottom windowsill with a cloth.

The floor nozzle is used for cleaning washable wall and floor coverings e.g. stone floors, tiles and PVC floors.

We recommend sweeping the floor or vacuum cleaning it before using the device. In this way the floor will be cleared of dirt and loose particles before the wet cleaning commences. Work slowly on surfaces that are heavily soiled so that the steam has longer to take effect.

1. Connect the extension tubes with the steam gun.

   ---

   

2. Push the floor nozzle onto the extension tube.

   ---

   

3. Fasten the floor cleaning cloth to the floor nozzle.

   1. Place the floor cleaning cloth with the hook and loop fastener strips pointing upwards on the floor.

   2. Place the floor nozzle onto the floor cleaning cloth, applying slight pressure.

      ---

      

   The floor cleaning cloth will stick to the floor nozzle of its own accord due to the hook and loop fastener.

1. Place one foot on the bottom corner of the floor cleaning cloth and lift the floor nozzle up.

   ---

   

   Note

   Initially, the floor cleaning cloth's hook and loop fastener strip is very strong and cannot be removed from the floor nozzle easily. After the floor cleaning cloth has been used several times and washed, it is easier to remove from the floor nozzle and it has reached the optimum adhesion.

1. Hang the floor nozzle in the park bracket during breaks in work.
