Safety Devices

Caution

Safety devices protect the user and must not be modified or bypassed.

Pressure controller

The pressure controller keeps the boiler pressure during the operation as constant as possible. The heating is turned off if the maximum operating pressure of 4 bar is reached in the boiler and is reactivated in case of a pressure drop in the boiler due to steam tapping.

Boiler thermostat

If there is no water in the boiler the temperature in the boiler rises. The boiler thermostat turns off the heating. The heating is prevented from being turned on again until the boiler has been filled.

Safety thermostat

If the boiler thermostat fails and the appliance overheats, then the safety thermostat turns off the appliance.

Please contact your local KÄRCHER customer service to arrange for the reset of the safety thermostat.

Maintenance lock

The maintenance lock acts as a pressure control valve at the same time. It seals the boiler against the steam pressure that builds up in the boiler.

If the pressure controller is defect and the steam pressure in the boiler rises, the pressure control valve, and steam is emitted through the maintenance lock to the outside.

Please contact your local Kärcher customer service before you put the appliance into operation again.

How to Use the Accessories

Important application instructions

Cleaning of Textiles

Prior to treatment with the steam cleaner, always check the reaction of the textiles in an inconspicuous location: Steam heavily at first, then let dry and then check for colour or shape changes.

Cleaning of Coated or Lacquered Surfaces

Be careful when you clean kitchen and living room furniture, doors, parquet, lacquered or plastic-coated surfaces. The wax, furniture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can come loose or stains can be created. Therefore, always clean these surfaces with a steamed cloth only.

Caution

Never direct the steam jet at glued edges as the edge band may loosen. Do not use the steam cleaner on unsealed wooden or parquet floors.

Cleaning of Glass

In case of low outside temperatures, especially in the winter, warm up the window pane by slightly steaming the entire glass surface. This will prevent tensions on the surface which might lead to glass breakage.

Caution

Do not direct steam onto the sealed locations of the window frame to prevent damage.

Steam gun

You can use the steam gun without any additional accessories, e.g.:

  • to remove odours and wrinkles from hanging clothes by steaming them at a distance of 10 to 20 cm.
    – to remove dust from plants. Here, keep a distance of 20-40 cm.
  • for moist dusting, by briefly steaming the cloth and wiping the furniture with it.

Detail nozzle

The closer this nozzle is to the contaminated area, the higher the cleaning effect, as the temperature and the steam are highest at the nozzle output. Especially suited for cleaning difficult access locations, joints, fittings, drains, sinks, toilets, blinds and heaters. Heavy limescale can be drenched in vinegar prior to steam-cleaning. Let the vinegar penetrate for about 5 minutes.

Round brush

The round brush can be installed onto the detail nozzle as an accessory. Attached brushes can therefore be used to remove heavy soiling.

Caution

Not suited for the cleaning of sensitive surfaces.

→ Illustration B

Attach the round brush to the detail nozzle.

Power nozzle

The power nozzle can be installed onto the detail nozzle as an accessory.

The power nozzle increases the emission speed of the steam. Therefore, it is well-suited for cleaning very tough dirt, blowing out corners, grooves, etc.

→ Illustration B

Attach the power nozzle to the detail nozzle according to the round brush.

Hand nozzle

Pull the terry cloth cover over the hand nozzle. Especially well-suited for small washable areas, shower stalls, mirrors or furniture cloth material.

Floor nozzle

Suited for all washable wall and floor coverings, e.g. stone floors, tiles and PVC floors. Work slowly on very dirty surfaces to allow the steam to act on the dirt for a longer period of time.

Note: Detergent residue or care emulsions that are still present on the surfaces to be cleaned, can lead to smears when steam cleaned. However, these will disappear with repeated cleaning procedures.

→ Illustration E

Attach the floor cloth to the floor nozzle.

1 Fold the floor cloth the long way and place the floor nozzle on top of it.
2 Open holding clamps.
3 Place the cloth ends into the openings.
4 Close the holding clamps.

Caution

Do not insert fingers between the clamps.

Parking the floor nozzle

→ Illustration F

During work breaks, hook the floor nozzle into the parking holder.

Window wiper

Application:

  • Windows, mirrors
    – Glass surfaces on showers
  • other smooth surfaces

→ Perform a fat dissolving basic cleaning using the hand nozzle and a terry cloth cover before using the window wiper.
→ Apply steam to the glass surface from a distance of approximately 20 cm until the surface is moistened evenly.
→ Strip the glass surface in straight lines from the top to the bottom using the rubber lip of the window wiper. Wipe the rubber lip and the bottom edge of the window dry after each strip.

Steam iron

⚠️ Danger

■ The steam iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
■ Hot steam iron and hot steam escaping! Point out to other people the possible risk of being scalded or burned.

Never direct the steam jet at people or animals (risk of scalding). Do not touch any electrical leads or combustible objects with the hot steam iron.

⚠ Warning

- Keep the steam iron and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years of

age when it is energized or cooling down.

■ The steam iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.

Note: We recommend using the Kärcher ironing table with active steam extraction (2.884-933.0). This ironing table has been designed to match your new steam cleaner. It facilitates and, thus, accelerates the ironing process substantially. In any case, you should use an ironing table which is covered with a mesh-type underlay allowing the steam to pass through.

→ Tightly insert the steam plug of the iron into the appliance connector. The plug must click into place audibly.
→ Make sure that there is fresh tap water in the boiler of the steam cleaner.
→ Start-up the steam cleaner according to the description.
→ Wait until the steam cleaner is ready to use.

Steam ironing

All fabrics can be steam ironed. Delicate imprints or fabrics should be ironed on the reverse or according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Note: For these sensitive textiles, we recommend using the KÄRCHER non-stick ironing sole BE 6006 (Bestell-Nr. 2.860-142.0).

→ Adjust the temperature control of the steam iron within the notched range ( ·s/MAX ).
→ As soon as the indicator lamp of the heater of the iron switches off, you can start ironing.
Note: The sole plate must be hot to prevent the steam from condensing on the sole plate and dripping onto the garment to be ironed.

→ Use the top or bottom steam switch.

- Steaming at intervals: Press the steam switch. Steam will be emitted while the switch is pressed.

- Continuous steaming: Pull the latch for the steam switch toward the rear until it locks in. Steam will escape continuously. To unlock, push the lock forward.

→ Direct the first burst of steam at the start of the ironing process or after ironing

breaks at a separate piece of cloth until the steam is emitted evenly.

→ You can hold the iron in an upright position to apply steam to curtains, dresses, etc.

Dry ironing

Note: Even if you iron without steam, there must be water in the boiler.

→ Adjust the temperature of the iron according to the garment you want to iron.

Synthetics
••Wool, silk
•••Cotton, linen

Note: Please observe the ironing and washing instructions in your garment.

→ As soon as the indicator lamp of the heater of the iron switches off, you can start ironing.
