(See overleaf for the address) Safety devices 몇 CAUTION Missing or modified safety devices Safety devices are provided for your own protection. Never modify or bypass safety devices. Symbols on the appliance (according to type of appliance) Pressure controller 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. Safety lock 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 pres- sure 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. Safety thermostat The safety thermostat prevents the device from overheat- ing. If the pressure controller fails and the device over- heats, then the safety thermostat switches the device off. To reset the safety thermostat, contact the responsible KÄRCHER Customer Service.

In this way the floor will be cleared of dirt and loose particles before the wet clean- ing. Freshening up textiles Prior to using the appliance, always check the compati- bility 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. Cleaning coated or painted surfaces 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. Glass cleaner 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 manual nozzle and cover. To remove the water, use a squeegee or wipe the surfaces dry. How to use the Accessories Steam gun The steam gun can be used for the following applica- tions without accessories: For removing slight creases from the hanging cloth- ing 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. Spotlight nozzle 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 deter- gent. Allow the detergent to soak in for approx. 5 minutes and then steam it off.

1. Slide the spotlight nozzle onto the steam gun.

Illustration G Round brush (small) The small round brush is used for cleaning stubborn dirt. Stubborn dirt can be removed more easily by brushing. ATTENTION Damaged surfaces The brush may scratch sensitive surfaces. It is not suitable for cleaning sensitive surfaces.

1. Fit the round brush to the spotlight nozzle.

Illustration H Round brush (large) The large round brush is suitable for cleaning large rounded surfaces, e.g. wash basin, shower tray, bath tub, kitchen sink. ATTENTION Damaged surfaces The brush may scratch sensitive surfaces. It is not suitable for cleaning sensitive surfaces.

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

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

1. Install the power nozzle onto the spotlight nozzle ac-

cording to the round brush. Illustration H Manual nozzle The manual nozzle is used for cleaning small areas that can be washed down, shower cubicles and mirrors.

1. Push the manual nozzle onto the steam gun accord-

ing to the spotlight nozzle. Illustration G

2. Pull the cover over the manual nozzle.

Floor nozzle The floor nozzle is used for cleaning washable wall and floor coverings e.g. stone floors, tiles and PVC floors. ATTENTION Damage due to build-up of steam Heat and moisture can lead to damage. Check the heat resistance and steam effect on an in- conspicuous area using a minimal volume of steam pri- or to use. Note Detergent residue or care emulsions on the surface to be cleaned can lead to streaks, which will disappear however once these have been used several times. 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 clean- ing commences. Work slowly on surfaces that are heav- ily soiled so that the steam can impact longer.

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.

a Place the floor cleaning cloth with the hook and loop fastener strips pointing upwards on the floor. b Place the floor nozzle onto the floor cleaning cloth, applying slight pressure. Illustration KEnglish 13 The floor cleaning cloth will stick to the floor nozzle of its own accord due to the hook and loop fastener. Removing the floor cleaning cloth

1. Place one foot on the bottom corner of the floor

cleaning cloth and lift the floor nozzle up. Illustration K Note Initially, the floor cleaning cloth's hook and loop fas- tener 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. Parking the floor nozzle

1. Hang the floor nozzle in the park bracket during

breaks in work. Illustration N Care and service Descaling the steam boiler Note Descaling the steam boiler is not required if commer- cially available distilled water is used. Note Since the lime becomes caked on the appliance, we recommend descaling the appliance as specified in the table (KF=boiler fillings) based on the number of times the steam boiler is filled. Note Your water board or municipal utilities authority can pro- vide information on hardness of tap water. ATTENTION Damaged surfaces The descaler may corrode sensitive surfaces. Fill and empty the appliance carefully.
