The device should not be used to clean electrical appliances such as oven, ex- haust, micro-wave, televisions, lamps, hair- dryer, electrical heating systems, etc. Check the faultless condition of the ap- pliance and the accessories before us- ing it. Otherwise, the appliance must not be used. Please check in particular the power cord, the safety lock, and the steam hose. If the power cord is damaged, please arrange immediately for the exchange by an authorized customer service or a skilled electrician. Please arrange for the immediate ex- change of a damaged steam hose. You may only use a steam hose that is rec- ommended by the manufacturer (see spare parts list for the order number). Never touch the mains plug and the socket with wet hands. Never use the appliance to clean ob- jects containing hazardous substances (e.g. asbestos). Never touch the steam jet from a short distance with your hands and never di- rect the steam jet to persons or animals (risk of scalds). 몇 Warning The appliance may only be connected to an electrical supply which has been installed in accordance with IEC 60364. The appliance may only be connected to alternating current. The voltage must correspond with the type plate on the appliance. In wet rooms, e.g. bathrooms, connect the appliance to sockets with a series connected RCD adapter. Unsuitable extension cables can be hazardous. Only use a splashproof ex- tension cable with a minimum section of 3x1 mm². The connection between power cord and extension cable must not lie in wa- ter. If couplings of the power cord or exten- sion cable are replaced the splash pro- tection and the mechanical tightness must be ensured. The operator must use the appliance correctly. When working with the appli- ance, he must consider the local condi- tions and pay due care and attention to other persons, in particular children, who are nearby. This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with re- duced physical, sensory or mental abil- ities or lacking experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or are instructed by these persons on the use of the device. Children should be supervised, to ensure that they do not play with the device. Never leave the appliance unattended when it is in operation. Be very careful while cleaning tiled walls with sockets. Caution Make sure that the power cable or exten- sion cables are not damaged by running over, pinching, dragging or similar. Protect the power cable from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Never fill solvents, solvent-containing liq- uids or undiluted acids (e.g. detergents, benzene, paint thinner, and acetone) into the water reservoir as these substances af- fect the materials used on the appliance. Quick Reference Safety instructions 12 EN– 7 The steam switch must not be locked during the operation. Protect the appliance from rain. Do not store outside. If necessary (see chapter "Using accesso- ries"), connect the required accessories to the steam nozzle. Î To do so, insert the two grooves of the accessories into the latches of the steam nozzle and turn clockwise until the stop. 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! Î Push the lock to the front (steam switch blocked). Î Turn the installed accessories counter- clockwise and pull them off the steam nozzle. The water reservoir may be refilled at any time. Note: If you always use usual commercial distilled water it is not necessary to descale the boiler. Î Separate the water tank from the cas- ing; for this, press the two release but- tons to the inside and pull the water tank off toward the bottom. Î Remove the tank lid. Î Fill the water tank with fresh water. Caution Do not fill in detergents or other additives! Î Close the water tank with the tank lid. Î Fasten the water tank to the casing. Caution The water tank must be installed and filled. 몇 Warning Do not operate the decalcification pump. Otherwise, you will pump water into the ap- pliance which spurts out of the steam noz- zle when inserting the mains plug. Î Insert the mains plug into a socket. Note: The steam cleaner is ready for use after approx. 15 seconds. Î Push the steam switch lock to the back. Î Actuate the steam lever to release steam. Note: During the initial startup, a small smoke cloud may escape from the steam nozzle! The appliance requires a short run- in time. At first, the escaping steam is irreg- ular and moist, some water drops may leak out. The amount of steam flowing out in- creases continuously until the maximum amount is reached after about 1 minute. Î Release the steam lever. Note: The steam discharge does not stop immediately; but it decreases continuously. There is no more steam discharge after a few seconds. Î Push the lock to the front (steam switch blocked). Î Disconnect the mains plug from the socket. Î Coil the mains power cable around the water tank and fasten with a cable clamp. Operation Attaching the Accessories Removing the Accessories Filling the Water Reservoir Turning on the Appliance Turning Off the Appliance 13EN– 8 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 col- our or shape changes. Be careful when you clean kitchen and liv- ing room furniture, doors, parquet, lac- quered or plastic-coated surfaces. The wax, furniture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can come loose or stains can be cre- ated. Therefore, always clean these surfac- es 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. 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. Caution Do not direct steam onto the sealed loca- tions of the window frame to prevent dam- age. Use the steam nozzle without accessories, – to remove odours and wrinkles from hanging clothes by steaming them at a distance of 10 to 20 cm. – 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. The closer this nozzle is to the contaminat- ed 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. Attached brushes can therefore be used to remove heavy soiling. Caution Not suited for the cleaning of sensitive sur- faces. Application: – Windows, mirrors – Glass surfaces on showers – other smooth surfaces Î Apply steam to the glass surface evenly with the steam nozzle from a distance of approximately 20 cm. Î Strip the glass surface in straight lines from the top to the bottom using the rub- ber lip of the window nozzle. Wipe the rubber lip and the bottom edge of the window dry after each strip. How to Use the Accessories Important application instructions Cleaning textiles and upholstery Cleaning of Coated or Lacquered Surfaces Cleaning of Glass Steam nozzle Detail nozzle Round brush Squeegee 14 EN– 9 Danger Always disconnect the mains plug and al- low the steam cleaner to cool down before performing any maintenance work. As limescale builds up in the appliance, we recommend to descale the appliance in the following intervals (TF=tank fillings): Note: If you always use usual commercial distilled water it is not necessary to descale the boiler. Note: Please contact your Conservancy Board or the local water supply company to inquire about the hardness of your water. Î Disconnect the mains plug from the socket. Î Allow the steam cleaner to cool down. Î Remove the nozzle insert from steam noz- zle. To do this, rotate the nozzle insert coun- ter-clockwise with a coin and pull the nozzle insert out. 몇 Warning Only use products approved by KÄRCHER to exclude any damages of the appliance. Î User the KÄRCHER decalcifier sticks (order no. 6.295-047) to decalcify the water. Please follow the dosing instruc- tions on the packaging while using the decalcifying solution. Caution Use caution when filling and emptying the steam cleaner. The descaling solution can have an aggressive effect on delicate sur- faces. Î Fill the decalcification solution into the water tank. Î Close the water tank with the tank lid. Î Fasten the water tank to the casing. Î Press the decalcification pump (A5) for approx. one minute in regular pump movements until the decalcification so- lution escapes from the open steam nozzle (best over a washbasin). Î Loosen, drain and rinse the water tank with clear water. Î Allow the decalcification solution to take effect in the appliance for 8 hours. Î Fill the water tank with fresh water. Î Close the water tank with the tank lid. Î Fasten the water tank to the casing. Caution Do not plug in the mains plug! Î Pump the water for one minute with the decalcification pump through the appli- ance into a washbasin. Î Hold the appliance over a washbasin and now connect the mains plug. 몇 Warning Hot water spots – scalding danger! Î Press the steam lever and let the appli- ance evaporate into a washbasin for two minutes. Î Reinstall the nozzle insert into the steam nozzle and tighten the nozzle in- sert in a clockwise direction. Î The steam cleaner is ready to use. Use only original KÄRCHER spare parts.
