Important application instructions

Cleaning the floor areas

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.

Freshening up textiles

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.

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 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.

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 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.

Illustration J

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 K

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 K

Power nozzle

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

Damage due to build-up of steam

Heat and moisture can lead to damage.

Check the heat resistance and steam effect on an inconspicuous area using a minimal volume of steam prior to use.

Note

Detergent residue or care emulsions on the surface to be cleaned can lead to streaks during steam cleaning, which will disappear however once these have been used several times.

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. Illustration L

2. Push the floor nozzle onto the extension tube. Illustration M

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.

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 N

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.

Parking the floor nozzle

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

Carpet glider

The carpet glider is used for freshening up carpets.

ATTENTION

Beware of damaging the carpet glider and carpet

Contamination on the carpet glider, as well as heat and moisture penetration, can result in the carpet being damaged.

Prior to the application, also check the heat resistance and impact of steam on the carpet at an insignificant spot using as small an amount of steam as possible.

Observe the cleaning instructions from the carpet manufacturer.

Prior to using the carpet glider, make sure that the carpet has been vacuumed and that stains have been removed.

Prior to application and following operating pauses, remove any possible water accumulation (condensate) in the appliance by means of evaporating the condensate into a drain (without floor cleaning cloth / with accessories).

Only use the carpet glider with a floor cleaning cloth on the floor nozzle.

Steam clean with a weak steam stage when using the carpet glider.

In order to prevent too much moistening and to avoid the risk of damage due to temperature effects, do not direct the steam continuously onto one spot (maximum 5 seconds).

Iron steam pressure

Note

We recommend using the KÄRCHER ironing board with active steam suctioning. This ironing board is optimally matched to the device you have acquired. It facilitates and speeds up the ironing process. In any case, the ironing board used should have a steam-permeable, grid-like ironing base surface.

Note

It should be noted that in the case of an ironing board without steam extraction, it is possible for an ironing board cover to become wet if condensate accumulates.

Initial startup of steam pressure iron

ATTENTION

Ironing may cause condensation to drip on the floor and damage sensitive floor coverings.

If possible, perform ironing tasks on a floor covering which is insensitive to condensation (e.g. tiles/stone).

For sensitive floor covering, ensure that the area on which condensation can drip is adequately protected (e.g. water-impermeable floor mat).

Note

The iron plate must be hot to prevent steam from condensing on the sole plate and dripping onto the ironing laundry.

1. Ensure that tap water or a mixture of tap water and no more than 50% distilled water is in the steam boiler of the steam cleaner.
2. Insert the steam plug of the iron into the unit plug until it clicks into place.
