Frequently Asked Questions - SG 42 Classic Kärcher

What type of water should be used with the Kärcher SG 42 Classic?
Use drinking water with a maximum of 50% distilled water. Never use purely distilled water, detergent or descaling products in the water tank.
How to descale the appliance?
The red Descaling indicator lights up after approximately 20 hours of service. To descale, empty the boiler, pour a solution of Kärcher RM 511 bio descaling agent (1 sachet in 0.5 L of hot water), leave to act for 8 hours, rinse thoroughly, then press the reset button.
What to do if the 'Water shortage' indicator lights up?
Fill the clean water tank with a maximum of 1.5 liters of drinking water. If the tank is full but the indicator remains on, the boiler must be descaled.
How to use VAPOHYDRO mode?
VAPOHYDRO mode produces a hot water jet to rinse away dirt. Activate it with the Mode switch (lower position). It is ideal for bathrooms with the pencil jet nozzle. Caution: the boiler empties faster.
Is the appliance suitable for delicate surfaces?
For painted or coated surfaces (furniture, parquet), lightly dampen a cloth with steam and wipe. Do not direct steam directly onto these surfaces to avoid peeling.
How to clean windows with the SG 42 Classic?
Preheat the window from about 50 cm away to avoid breakage. Spray evenly at 20 cm, then wipe with the rubber lip of the window nozzle (special accessory).
What to do in case of a defect or breakdown?
If a fault persists, switch off the appliance and let it cool down. Contact the authorized Kärcher after-sales service. Do not carry out repairs yourself.
How to store the appliance after use?
Empty the water tank, let the brushes cool down, store the pencil jet nozzle in the cover, place the steam handle and accessories in the compartment, then close the cover. Wind the cable into the storage net.
Can I use the steam cleaner to refresh clothes?
Yes, hold the steam handle 10-20 cm from the fabric. Use the textile sucker (special accessory) to remove fluff and remove creases. Always check compatibility on a hidden area.
What are the safety devices of the appliance?
The appliance is equipped with a pressure regulator, a boiler bottom temperature sensor, a safety thermostat and a safety closure with valve. Never bypass these devices.

Safety devices

Safety devices protect the user and may not be disabled or functionally circumvented.

Pressure regulator

The pressure regulator keeps the boiler pressure as constant as possible during operation. The heating is switched off when the maximum operating pressure in the boiler has been reached and switched on again when the pressure in the boiler drops due to steam removal.

Water shortage thermostat

The heating temperature rises when the water in the boiler runs out. The water shortage thermostat switches the heating off and the "Water shortage" indicator light lights up red. The heating cannot be switched on again until the boiler has cooled down or is refilled.

Safety thermostat

  • If the water shortage thermostat fails and the device overheats, the safety thermostat switches the device off.
  • Before resetting of the safety thermostat, contact the responsible KÄRCHER Customer Service.

Safety lock

  • The safety lock seals the steam boiler against the steam pressure present. If the pressure regulator is defective and overpressure occurs in the steam boiler, a pressure relief valve opens in the safety lock and steam escapes through the lock.
  • Before re-commissioning the device, contact the responsible KÄRCHER Customer Service.

Cleaning methods

Freshening textiles

Always check the compatibility of the textiles at a concealed point before using the device on textiles: First steam the textile, allow it to dry and then check it for any change in colour or shape.

Cleaning of coated or painted surfaces

Wax, furniture polish, plastic coatings or paint can come off or stains may occur when cleaning painted or plastic-coated surfaces such as e.g. kitchen and living room furniture, doors, parquet or linoleum. To clean these surfaces, steam a cloth briefly and wipe it over the surfaces.

Glass cleaner

Preheat the window pane in seasons with particularly low temperatures. To do this, lightly steam the entire glass surface at a distance of approx. 50 cm. This avoids tension on the surface that can lead to glass breakage.

Initial startup

Installing accessories

  1. Open the cover of the device socket and plug the steam connector tightly into the device.
  2. Connect the accessory (floor nozzle, manual nozzle or spotlight nozzle) to the steam gun. Push the parts together until the locking button on the steam gun engages.
  3. Use extension tubes (special accessories) if necessary. Push the parts together until the respective locking button engages.
  4. Press the locking button to separate the accessories.

Filling water

Note

Do not fill with pure distilled water! Use a maximum of 50% distilled water mixed with tap water.

  1. Unlock and open the device cover.
  2. Check that the safety lock is seated tightly.
  3. Remove the fresh water tank.

Illustration C

  1. Open the reservoir cap of the fresh water tank.
  2. Pour approximately 1.5 litres of tap water into the fresh water tank.

Do not use detergents!

  1. Close the reservoir cap.
  2. Fit the fresh water tank.
  3. Close and lock the device cover.

Operation

Switching on the device

  • The heating switches on periodically during use (indicator light lights up red) to maintain the pressure in the boiler.
  • If the device is switched on without water, the "Heating" indicator light lights up red until the water shortage thermostat switches the heating off. The "Water shortage" indicator light then lights up red.
  • Plug the mains plug into a mains socket.
  • Unlock and open the device cover.

Note

The device cover must remain open during operation so that the indicator lights can be seen. 3. Switch on the device with the Heating switch. The indicator light lights up red.

Note

The full heating capacity is only available if the steam connector is connected to the device when it is heating up. The system is ready for operation. When the "Heating" indicator light lights up green.

  1. Switch off the heating at the switch when transporting the device.
  2. Press the steam switch, steam comes out. Always point the steam gun at a cloth first until the steam flows out evenly.

VAPOHYDRO

  • In wet areas, the dirt can also be washed away instead of being picked up with the cloth. To do this, use the VAPOHYDRO mode to maintain a high level of moisture in the steam jet. A hot water stream is emitted, which has the greatest rinsing effect.
  • We recommend using the VAPOHYDRO in conjunction with the spotlight nozzle for cleaning in the bathroom, for example.
  • When working with cloths (floor nozzle, manual nozzle), use the steam operation mode to maintain a low level of moisture in the steam jet. This improves the dirt-dissolving power of the steam.

Note

In VAPOHYDRO mode, the boiler empties faster, which means that it can only be used for a short time.

  1. Switch the VAPOHYDRO on/off with the Mode switch.

Refilling water

Note

The "Water shortage" indicator light lights up red when the water in the fresh water tank is used up.

Note

If the pump does not deliver water despite a full fresh water tank, the boiler must be descaled.

  1. Remove the fresh water tank.
  2. Open the reservoir cap of the fresh water tank.
  3. Pour approximately 1.5 litres of tap water into the fresh water tank.
  4. Close the reservoir cap.
  5. Insert the fresh water tank, the "Water shortage" indicator light goes out. The "Heating" indicator light lights up red and after the end of the heating process green, the system is then ready for operation.

Using accessories

Note

Detergent residues or care emulsions on the surface to be cleaned can cause streaks during steam cleaning, but these disappear after repeated use.

Steam gun

Application examples for the steam gun without accessories:

  • Eliminate odours and creases from hanging clothes by steaming them at a distance of 10 - 20 cm.
  • Damp dusting by briefly steaming a cloth and wiping it over furniture.

Spotlight nozzle

  • The cleaning effect increases the closer the nozzle is held to the dirty area, since the temperature and pressure of the steam are greatest at the emission point.
  • The spotlight nozzle with the various attachments is suitable for cleaning hard-to-reach areas, such as corners, joints, etc., blinds, central heating, toilets, stainless steel, windows, mirrors, fittings, coated and enamelled surfaces, and for loosening stains.
  • The power nozzle increases the speed of the emitted steam. It is therefore well suited for cleaning particularly stubborn dirt, blowing out corners, joints, etc.

Note

The round brush is not suitable for cleaning sensitive surfaces.

Floor nozzle

Floor nozzle with slats (special accessory)

  • For hygienic cleaning of smooth surfaces, as the surface temperature is higher.
  • For a hygienic cleaning result, steam directly over the hard surface at a working speed of max. 30 cm/second.

Using the floor cleaning cloth (special accessory)

Turn and change the floor cleaning cloth regularly to improve dirt absorption.

  1. Fasten the floor cleaning cloth to the floor nozzle. To do this, fold the floor cleaning cloth lengthways and place the floor nozzle on it, open the retaining clips, place the ends of the cloth in the openings and stretch tightly, close the retaining clips.

CAUTION

Danger from retaining clips

Risk of crushing

Do not put your fingers between the retaining clips.

Manual nozzle

Suitable for small washable surfaces, shower cubicles, mirrors or furniture fabrics.

  1. Pull the microfibre cover cloth over the manual nozzle.

Window nozzle (special accessory)

Order number 2.863-025.0

  1. Steam the glass surface evenly at a distance of approx. 20 cm.

Before using the device, check the fabric's colorfastness on a hidden area: first dampen the fabric, let it dry, then check for any changes in color or shape.

Cleaning surfaces with coating or painted surfaces

When cleaning painted or plastic-coated surfaces, such as furniture, doors, parquet, wax, polish for furniture, plastic coverings, or paint, they may come off or stains may appear. To clean such surfaces, lightly steam a cloth and wipe the surface with it.

Cleaning glass

In seasons with particularly low temperatures, preheat the window glass. To do this, lightly steam the entire surface of the glass from a distance of about 50 cm. This prevents stress on the surface that could lead to cracking of the glass.

Commissioning

Installing accessories

  1. Open the cover of the device's socket and firmly insert the plug of the steam hose into the device.
  2. Connect the accessory (floor nozzle, hand nozzle, or steam nozzle) to the steam iron. Insert the parts into each other until the release button on the steam iron engages.
  3. If necessary, use extension hoses (special accessories). Insert the parts into each other until the corresponding release button engages. 4. To disconnect the accessories, press the release button.

Filling with water

Note

Do not use pure distilled water! Use a mixture of at most 50% distilled water and tap water.

  1. Open and lift the device cover.
  2. Check the integrity of the fuse. 3. FILLING THE TANK WITH CLEAN WATER. Figure C
  3. Open the cover of the clean water tank.
  4. Fill the clean water tank with approximately 1.5 liters of tap water. Do not use cleaning agents!
  5. Close the tank cover.
  6. Insert the clean water tank.
  7. Close and lock the device cover.

Operation

Turning on the device

During operation, the heater turns on periodically (the control lamp lights up red) to maintain the pressure in the boiler. - When the device is turned on without water, the control lamp "Heating" lights up first, and then the thermostat, protected against lack of water, turns off the heating. Then the control lamp "Lack of water" lights up red. 1. Insert the power plug into the socket. 2. Unlock and open the device cover.

Note

During operation, the device cover must remain open so that the control lamps are visible. 3. Turn on the device using the heating switch. The control lamp lights up red.

Note

Before starting cleaning, disconnect the device from the mains if the cleaning time exceeds the time of connection to the device of the steam iron. If the control lamp "Heating" lights up green, the system is ready for operation. 4. Switch off heating with the switch for transporting the device. 5. Press the steam button, steam comes out of the soleplate. First direct the steam jet at the ironing board until steam comes out evenly.

VAPOHYDRO

In damp rooms, dirt can also be washed off, not just collected with the steam jet. For this, use the VAPOHYDRO mode, which maintains high humidity in the steam jet. In this mode, a jet of water comes out, which ensures maximum washing effect. - For upholstered furniture, it is recommended to use VAPOHYDRO, for example, in combination with the upholstery nozzle. - When working with steam jets (floor nozzle, hand nozzle), use the steam conversion mode of low humidity in the steam jet. This helps to improve the dirt-dissolving ability of the steam.

Note

In VAPOHYDRO mode, the water tank empties faster, which means it can only be used for a short time.

  1. Switch on/off VAPOHYDRO using the mode switch.

Filling with water

Boiler pressure regulator

The boiler pressure regulator controls the boiler pressure. The maximum pressure is maintained continuously during operation. The boiler is switched off when the maximum working pressure is reached and switched on again when the pressure in the boiler drops due to the removal of steam.

Cleaning surfaces with paint or lacquer

When cleaning painted or lacquered surfaces, e.g. kitchen or bathroom furniture, doors, parquet, linoleum, they may become discolored or the color may change due to the wax, polish on the furniture, e.g. lacquer, or stains may form. When cleaning these surfaces, use only a short steam burst and wipe the surfaces with it.

Cleaning glass

When cleaning glass panes with particularly low temperatures, preheat the glass. For this purpose, apply a small amount of steam to the glass surface from a distance of 50 cm. This prevents tension in the glass, which could lead to cracking.
