Frequently Asked Questions - SC 1125 Plus Kärcher

How to fill the water tank?

Unscrew the safety closure, empty any remaining water if necessary, then fill the boiler with 1.2 liters of fresh tap water at most. The water level must not exceed 2 cm below the edge of the opening. Using hot water reduces heating time. Do not add detergent.

What to do if steam does not come out?

First check that the red indicator light (water shortage) is not lit. If so, add water (see procedure). Make sure the steam connector is fully inserted and locked into the appliance socket. Also check that the steam lever is not locked (plunger forward).

How to descale the boiler?

Use Kärcher descaling sticks (ref. 6.295-047) according to the dosage indicated. Fill the boiler with descaling solution and let it sit for 8 hours. Do not screw the safety closure back on during this operation. Afterward, empty the solution and rinse the boiler 2 to 3 times with cold water.

Can I use detergents?

No, the appliance is designed to operate without detergent. Never add cleaning agents, solvents, or acids to the boiler. This would damage the appliance.

How to adjust the steam quantity?

The steam flow rate is adjusted with the steam lever and the locking device. Plunger forward = no steam (child safety), center = reduced flow, backward = maximum flow. You can also modulate by pressing the lever more or less.

How to use the iron?

Plug the steam connector of the iron into the appliance socket until it clicks. Make sure the boiler is filled and the appliance is hot (orange indicator off). Set the iron thermostat to the hatched area (MAX). Press the steam button for a burst or push the switch backward for continuous steam. The iron can also be used dry.

Which accessories are included?

The delivery includes: steam gun, pencil jet nozzle, round brush, manual nozzle with terry cloth cover, microfiber scouring cloth, turbo steam brush, two extension tubes, floor nozzle with floor cloth, and an iron.

How to clean the textile accessories?

The floor cloth and terry cloth cover can be machine washed at 60°C. Do not use fabric softener to maintain absorbency. They are dryer-safe.

What does the red light mean?

The red indicator (B1) signals a water shortage in the boiler. The heating is then deactivated. You must turn off the appliance, release residual pressure by operating the steam lever, then add water.

How to store the appliance?

After use, switch off the appliance, unplug it and the steam connector. Let it cool down completely. Store the appliance on a stable floor, protected from rain and frost. Do not store outdoors.

Safety Devices

Caution

Safety devices protect the user and must not be modified or bypassed.

Pressure controller

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.

Low-water thermostat

When the water in the boiler becomes exhausted, the temperature of the heating increases. The low-water thermostat turns off the heating, and the red low-water indicator lamp lights up. The heating is prevented from being turned on again until the boiler has cooled down or refilled with water.

Safety thermostat

If the boiler thermostat fails and the appliance overheats, then the safety thermostat turns off the appliance.

Please contact your local KÄRCHER customer service to arrange for the reset of the safety thermostat.

Safety lock

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 pressure control valve in the safety lock opens, and steam is emitted through the lock to the outside.

Please contact your local KÄRCHER customer service before you put the appliance into operation again.

How to Use the Accessories

Important application instructions

Cleaning of Textiles

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 colour or shape changes.

Cleaning of Coated or Lacquered Surfaces

Be careful when you clean kitchen and living room furniture, doors, parquet, lacquered or plastic-coated surfaces. The wax, furniture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can come loose or stains can be created. Therefore, always clean these surfaces with a steamed cloth only.

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.

Cleaning of Glass

In case of low outside temperatures, especially 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 breakage.

Caution

Do not direct steam onto the sealed locations of the window frame to prevent damage.

Steam gun

You can use the steam gun without any additional accessories, e.g.:

• to remove odours and wrinkles from hanging clothes by steaming them at a distance of 10 to 20cm .
  – 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.

Detail nozzle

The closer this nozzle is to the contaminated area, the higher the cleaning effect, as the temperature and the steam are highest at the nozzle output. Especially suited for cleaning difficult access locations, joints, fittings, drains, sinks, toilets, blinds and heaters. Heavy limescale can be drenched in vinegar prior to steam-cleaning. Let the vinegar penetrate for about 5 minutes.

Round brush

Attach the round brush directly to the detail nozzle. Especially well-suited for hard to access locations, such as fittings or drains.

Caution

Not suited for the cleaning of sensitive surfaces.

Hand nozzle

Pull the terry cloth cover over the hand nozzle. Especially well-suited for small washable areas, shower stalls, mirrors or furniture cloth material.

Micro-fibre abrasive cloth

Pull up the micro-fibre abrasive cloth over the hand nozzle.

Application:

• Removing calcium and soap residues in the bath-room (for e.g shower cabins, tiled walls).
• While cleaning mirrors, we recommend that you polish again using a micro-fibre cloth (micro-fibre set of dusters "Bath", order no. 2.863-171).

Can be washed at 60 °C ; please do not use any soft detergents. Not suitable for drier.

Floor nozzle

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.

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.

→ Attach 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.

"click" 1. 2. 3. 4.

Caution

Do not insert fingers between the clamps.

Steam turbo brush

The steam turbo brush is set swinging by the emitted steam and is suited ideally for the easy cleaning of extreme dirt at places in the kitchen and the bathroom that are difficult to access.

Caution

Using the turbo steam brush for longer periods can lead to circulation problems in the hand caused by hands (finger cramps, cold fingers). Please take a break if that happens.

It is not possible to specify a generally valid operation time, since this depends on several factors:

– Proneness to blood circulation deficiencies (cold, numb fingers).
– A firm grip impedes blood circulation.
– Continuous operation is worse than an operation interrupted by pauses.

In case of regular, long-term operation of the turbo steam brush and in case of repeated occurrence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fingers) please consult a physician.

Steam iron

⚠️Danger

■ The steam iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
■ Hot steam iron and hot steam escaping! Point out to other people the possible risk of being scalded or burned. Never direct the steam jet at people or animals (risk of scalding). Do not touch any electrical leads or combustible objects with the hot steam iron.

⚠ Warning

• Keep the steam iron and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years of age when it is energized or cooling down.
  ■ The steam iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.

Note: We recommend using the Kärcher ironing table with active steam extraction (2.884-933.0). This ironing table has been designed to match your new steam cleaner. It facilitates and, thus, accelerates the ironing process substantially. In any case, you should use an ironing table which is covered with a mesh-type underlay allowing the steam to pass through.

→ Tightly insert the steam plug of the iron into the appliance connector. The plug must click into place audibly.
→ Make sure that there is fresh tap water in the boiler of the steam cleaner.
→ Start-up the steam cleaner according to the description.
→ Wait until the steam cleaner is ready to use.

Steam ironing

All fabrics can be steam ironed. Delicate imprints or fabrics should be ironed on the reverse or according to the manufacturer's specifications.

→ Adjust the temperature control of the steam iron within the notched range ( ·s/MAX ).
→ As soon as the indicator lamp of the heater of the iron switches off, you can start ironing.

Note: The sole plate must be hot to prevent the steam from condensing on the sole plate and dripping onto the garment to be ironed.

→ Press the steam button on the iron to steam iron.
- Steaming at intervals: Press the switch to the front. A steam burst is emitted while the switch is being pressed.
- Continuous steaming: Press the switch to the back. The switch locks and steam is continuously emitted. To release, press the switch to the front.
→ Direct the first burst of steam at the start of the ironing process or after ironing breaks at a separate piece of cloth until the steam is emitted evenly.
→ You can hold the iron in an upright position to apply steam to curtains, dresses, etc.

Dry ironing

Note: Even if you iron without steam, there must be water in the boiler.

→ Adjust the temperature of the iron according to the garment you want to iron.

• Synthetics

•• Wool, silk

••• Cotton, linen

Note: Please observe the ironing and washing instructions in your garment.

→ As soon as the indicator lamp of the heater of the iron switches off, you can start ironing.

Wallpaper remover (optional)

You can use the wallpaper remover with the steam cleaner to remove paper wallpapers.

→ Place the entire surface of the wallpaper remover along the edge of a strip of wallpaper. Switch on the steam supply and allow the steam to act on the wallpaper until it is completely soaked (approximately 10 seconds).

→ Move the wallpaper remover to the next piece of wallpaper you want to remove. Hold the steam switch pressed while you move the tool. Lift the soaked piece of wallpaper using a flat trowel, and pull it off the wall. Move the wallpaper remover from strip to strip, and pull the wallpaper off in strips.

→ In case of woodchip wallpaper that has been painted several times, the steam may not be able to soak the wallpaper. Thus, we recommend to prepare the wallpaper using a spiked roller before steam is applied.

Textile cleaning nozzle (optional)

Application:

To freshen up hanging textiles, such as jackets or curtains, by means of two functions:

- Defleecing garment using the thread lifter.

– Vaporizing and dewrinking of textiles (also eliminates odours).

If you actuate the steam switch steam is emitted. Direct the first burst of steam at a separate piece of cloth until the steam is emitted evenly.

Window nozzle (optional)

Application:

- Windows, Mirrors

– Glass surfaces on showers

- other glass surfaces

→ Apply steam to the glass surface from a distance of approximately 20 cm until the surface is moistened evenly.

Note: If you always use usual commercial distilled water it is not necessary to descale the boiler.

Rinsing the boiler

Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest after 5 boiler fillings.

→ Fill the boiler with water and shake it strongly. This dissolves lime scaling residing on the boiler bottom. → Empty water out.

Descaling the boiler

As limescale builds up on the boiler walls, we recommend to descale the boiler in the following intervals (RF=reservoir fillings):

Degree of hardness ° dH mmol/l RF
I soft 0-7 0-1,3 55
II medium 7-14 1,3-2,5 45
III hard	14-21 2,5-3,8 35
