Frequently Asked Questions - K 7 Power Flex Kärcher

How to use detergent with the K 7 Power Flex?
Use the Vario Power lance and turn it to the SOFT (or MIX) position. Insert the Plug 'n' Clean detergent bottle upside down into the connection. Spray the detergent on the dry surface, let it sit, then rinse with the high-pressure jet.
What to do if the appliance does not build up pressure?
First check the water supply: tap fully open, sufficient flow. Also check the strainer in the water inlet connection; if dirty, clean it. Purge the appliance by running it without the lance for a maximum of 2 minutes.
Can I use an extension cord?
Yes, but respect the maximum admissible mains impedance (0.394 + j0.246 Ω). Use an extension cord with sufficient cross-section and fully unrolled. If in doubt, consult your energy supplier.
How to purge the appliance before first use?
Turn on the appliance (I/ON), unlock the gun, press the trigger and let it run without lance until water comes out without bubbles (max 2 minutes). Release the trigger and lock.
What is the operating pressure of the K 7 Power Flex?
The operating pressure is 150 bar (15 MPa), with a maximum permissible pressure of 180 bar (18 MPa).
What type of water can I use?
Use clean tap water. The maximum temperature is 60 °C. For suction from open tanks (barrels, ponds), the suction height must not exceed 0.5 m. A KÄRCHER water filter is recommended to protect the pump.
How to store the appliance properly?
After use, release the pressure by pressing the gun trigger. Separate the lances, wind the hose (counterclockwise if using a hose reel), store the cable and accessories. For winter storage, protect the appliance from frost by completely draining the water.
How to clean the water inlet strainer?
Unscrew the water inlet connection, remove the strainer with flat pliers, clean it under running water in the opposite direction of flow. Do not use sharp objects. Reinsert it after checking.
What to do in case of water leakage on the appliance?
A slight leak is normal and due to the technology. If the leak is significant, contact an authorized KÄRCHER service center.
What is the warranty of the K 7 Power Flex?
The warranty is provided according to the conditions of the country of sale. It covers material and manufacturing defects. To activate it, keep the purchase receipt and contact your distributor or authorized service center.
