If there is still water in the fresh water tank or clean- ing station, empty it. ATTENTION To prevent odours developing, the fresh water and waste water tank must be completely emptied prior to storing the appliance. Illustration Move the appliance to the place of storage using the carrying handle. Illustration To stabilise, place the appliance into the cleaning station. Store the appliance in a dry room. ATTENTION When the work is finished, always rinse the appliance through with the cleaning station and fresh water. This is the best way of cleaning the appliance. It prevents the build-up of dirt and bacteria or unpleasant odours. Illustration Switch off the appliance; press the on/off button to do so. Illustration Place the appliance in the cleaning station. For the rinsing process, fill the fresh water tank with cold or lukewarm tap water to completely remove detergent residue from the suction ducts and slits on the suction head.

Fill the cleaning station with water. If necessary, add appropriate KÄRCHER cleaning agents for the rinsing procedure. To switch on the appliance press the on/off switch. Allow the appliance to run for 30-60 seconds until the water is completely drawn out of the cleaning station. The rinsing procedure is now complete. Note The longer the appliance is switched on, the less resid- ual moisture is left over in the cleaning rollers. Switch off the appliance; press the on/off button to do so. If there is still water in the fresh water tank, remove the fresh water tank and empty it. Illustration Empty the waste water tank. See Chapter "Emptying the waste water tank". If there is still water in the fresh cleaning station, empty it. ATTENTION The fresh and waste water tanks must be emptied be- fore the appliance is set down on the ground for roller removal. This prevents any fluids from leaking out of the tank when it is laid on the ground. Note In the case of heavy contamination, clean the cleaning rollers separately. Illustration Switch off the appliance; press the on/off button to do so. If there is still water in the fresh water tank, remove the fresh water tank and empty it. Empty the fresh water reservoir. Illustration Empty the waste water tank. Illustration Twist out the cleaning rollers from the recessed grip. Illustration Clean the cleaning rollers under running water.

Wash the cleaning rollers in the washing machine up to 60°C. ATTENTION Do not use any soft detergents when cleaning in the washing machine. This avoids causing damage to the microfibres. It also preserves the high performance lev- els of the cleaning rollers. The cleaning rollers are not suitable for the tumble dry- er. Illustration Once cleaned, place the rollers onto the cleaning station’s roller storage and leave to air dry. Drying time can be minimized by wringing out the rollers beforehand. Interrupting operation Turning Off the Appliance Storing the Appliance Care and maintenance Cleaning appliance with rinsing process Cleaning the rollers 20 EN– 12 ATTENTION In the case of heavy contamination or if parts such as stones or splinters get into the suction head, it will need to be cleaned. While the appliance is working, these parts will cause a rattling noise or will block up the suc- tion ducts, diminishing suction performance. Illustration Switch off the appliance; press the on/off button to do so. Illustration Remove the cleaning rollers. See "Cleaning the rollers". Illustration Press the suction head lock. Take off the suction head lid. Clean the suction head lid under running water. If necessary, remove particle deposits from the suction ducts and slits in the suction head lid.
