Frequently Asked Questions - SC5850C KARCHER

Why is the heat-up time long?
This indicates that the boiler is scaled. Perform descaling with KÄRCHER descaling sticks (ref. 6.295-206) following the instructions.
Why is there no steam?
Check that the water tank is filled to the MAX mark and that the boiler contains water. If the red light flashes, fill the tank.
What to do if the low water display flashes?
The red display indicates a lack of water in the tank. Fill it to the MAX mark. The pump will then automatically fill the boiler.
How to descale the boiler?
Use only KÄRCHER descaling sticks. Fill the boiler with descaling solution, let it sit for 8 hours, then rinse thoroughly with cold water.
Why does the iron spit water?
This can be due to too low temperature (set the thermostat to the hatched zone) or Vapohydro mode which is not suitable for the iron. Disable Vapohydro mode.
How to clean textile accessories (cloths, covers)?
Wash them in the machine at 60°C without fabric softener to preserve their absorbency. They are machine-dryable.
Can I use detergents in the water?
No, use only tap water or a mixture of 50% distilled water and 50% tap water. Never add detergent, solvent, or acid.
How to store the device after use?
Follow the storage instructions: place accessories in their compartment, wind the hose around the extension tubes, store the power cord, and hang the floor nozzle on the support.
What to do if the steam lever is stuck?
Check that the child safety lock (located on the gun) is not activated. Push it forward to unlock the lever.
Where to find spare parts?
Refer to the spare parts list at the end of the manual. Use only original KÄRCHER parts to ensure safety and performance.

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, in case of a malfunction, there is no water in the boiler, the temperature in the boiler rises. The boiler thermostat turns off the heating. Once the boiler is filled, normal operation can continue.

Safety thermostat

The safety thermostat turns off the appliance if the boiler thermostat and the pressure controller fails and the appliance overheats in case of a malfunction. 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 floor surfaces

It is recommended to sweep or vacuum the floor prior to using the steam cleaner. This way, the floor is already cleared of dirt/loose particles prior to the wet cleaning.

Refreshing textiles

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

Cleaning of Coated or Lacquered Surfaces

When cleaning painted or plastic-coated surfaces, as found on kitchen and living room furniture, doors, parquet; wax, furniture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can come loose or stains can be created. When cleaning these surfaces, briefly steam a cloth and wipe the surfaces with it.

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.

Then clean the window surface with the hand nozzle and attachment. Use a squee-gee to remove the water or wipe the surfaces dry.

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 lime scale 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.

Steam turbo brush

The steam turbo brush is set swinging by the emitted steam and is suited ideally for the easy cleaning of extreme dirt at places in the kitchen and the bathroom that are difficult to access.

Caution

Using the turbo steam brush for longer periods can lead to circulation problems in the hand caused by hands (finger cramps, cold fingers). Please take a break if that happens. It is not possible to specify a generally valid operation time, since this depends on several factors:

  • Proneness to blood circulation deficiencies (cold, numb fingers).
    – A firm grip impedes blood circulation.
  • Continuous operation is worse than an operation interrupted by pauses.

In case of regular, long-term operation of the turbo steam brush and in case of repeated occurrence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fingers) please consult a physician.

Hand nozzle

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

Microfibre abrasive cover

Pull up the microfibre abrasive cover over the hand nozzle.

Especially well-suited for removing calcium and soap residues in the bath-room (for e.g shower cabins, tiled walls).

Can be washed at 60 °C ; please do not use any fabric softener. Not suitable for drier.

Floor nozzle

Suited for all washable walls 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.

Steam iron

⚠️ Danger

■ The steam pressure iron must not be used if it has been dropped, shows visible signs of damage or if it leaks.
The steam pressure iron is hot and so is the steam jet! Point out to other people the possible risk of being scalded or burnt. 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 pressure iron.

⚠ Warning

■ The steam pressure iron and its connecting cable must be kept out of reach of children under the age of 8 during the heating and cooling down periods.
■ The steam pressure iron must be used and placed 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.

Note: Please do not select the VapoHydro function while the steam pressure iron is plugged in to prevent the laundry to be ironed from getting wet.

→ Make sure that there is fresh tap water in the boiler of the steam cleaner.
→ Tightly insert the steam plug of the iron into the appliance connector. The plug must click into place audibly.

Display - iron will light up green permanently.

→ Start-up the steam cleaner according to the description.

Recommended steam levels:

LevelTextiles
Min. steam levelSlightly wrinkled clothes
Max. steam levelJeans

→ 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 (Ordner no. 2.860-142.0).

→ Adjust the temperature control of the steam iron within the notched range ( ·s /MAX).
→ As soon as the heater display 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 heater display of the iron switches off, you can start ironing.
