Environmental protection
The packing materials can be recycled. Please
dispose of packaging in accordance with the en-
vironmental regulations.
Electrical and electronic appliances contain valu-
able, recyclable materials and often components
such as batteries, rechargeable batteries or oil,
which - if handled or disposed of incorrectly - can
pose a potential threat to human health and the environ-
ment. However, these components are required for the
correct operation of the appliance. Appliances marked
by this symbol are not allowed to be disposed of togeth-
er with the household rubbish.
Notes on the content materials (REACH)
Current information on content materials can be found
at: www.kaercher.com/REACH
Accessories and spare parts
Only use original accessories and original spare parts.
They ensure that the appliance will run fault-free and
safely.
Information on accessories and spare parts can be
found at www.kaercher.com.

Safety devices
몇CAUTION
Missing or modified safety devices
Safety devices are provided for your own protection.
Never modify or bypass safety devices.
Symbols on the device
(according to type of appliance)
Pressure controller
The pressure controller keeps the pressure in the steam
boiler as constant as possible during operation. The
heating is switched off when the maximum operating
pressure is reached in the steam boiler and is activated
if there is a pressure drop in the steam boiler as a result
of a steam removal.
Safety lock
The safety lock seals the steam boiler from the steam
pressure present. If the pressure regulator is defective
and overpressure occurs in the steam boiler, an pres-
sure relief valve opens in the safety lock and steam
leaks out through the lock.
Prior to restarting the appliance, contact the responsible
KÄRCHER Customer Service.
Safety thermostat
The safety thermostat prevents the device from over-
heating. If the pressure controller fails and the device
overheats, then the safety thermostat switches the de-
vice off.
To reset the safety thermostat, contact the responsible
KÄRCHER Customer Service.
Description of the device
The maximum amount of equipment is described in
these operating instructions. Depending on the model
used, there are differences in the scope of delivery (see

After cleaning, unscrew the safety lock and store it, for
example, with the other device accessories.
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 compati-
bility 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 applica-
tions without accessories:
●For removing slight creases from the hanging cloth-
ing 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
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 I
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 I
Power nozzle
The power nozzle is used for cleaning stubborn dirt,
blowing down corners, joins etc.
1. Install the power nozzle onto the spotlight nozzle ac-
cording to the round brush.
Illustration I
Manual nozzle
The manual nozzle is used for cleaning small areas that
can be washed down, shower cubicles and mirrors.
1. Push the manual nozzle onto the steam gun accord-
ing to the spotlight nozzle.
Illustration H
2. Pull the cover over the manual nozzle.
Floor nozzle
The floor nozzle is used for cleaning washable wall and
floor coverings e.g. stone floors, tiles and PVC floors.
ATTENTION
Damage due to build-up of steam
Heat and moisture can lead to damage.
Check the heat resistance and steam effect on an in-
conspicuous area using a minimal volume of steam pri-
or 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 clean-
ing commences. Work slowly on surfaces that are heav-
ily soiled so that the steam has longer to take effect.
1. Connect the extension tubes with the steam gun.
Illustration J
2. Push the floor nozzle onto the extension tube.
Illustration K
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.
Illustration L
The floor cleaning cloth will stick to the floor nozzle
of its own accord due to the hook and loop fastener.

English 13
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 L
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 re-
move from the floor nozzle and it has reached the opti-
mum adhesion.
Parking the floor nozzle
1. Hang the floor nozzle in the park bracket during
breaks in work.

Care and service
Descaling the steam boiler
Note
Since the lime becomes caked on the appliance, we
recommend descaling the appliance as specified in
the table (BF=boiler fillings) based on the number of
times the steam boiler is filled.
Note
Your water board or municipal utilities authority can pro-
vide information on hardness of tap water.
ATTENTION
Damaged surfaces
The descaler may corrode sensitive surfaces.
Fill and empty the appliance carefully.
1. Switch off the device, see chapter Switch off the ap-
pliance.
2. Allow the device to cool down.
3. Unscrew the safety lock.
4. Drain the water completely out of the steam boiler.
Illustration Q
ATTENTION
Appliance damage due to descaler
An unsuitable descaler and incorrect dosing of the des-
caler may damage the appliance.
Only use KÄRCHER descaler.
Use 2 dosing units of the descaler for 1.0 l of water.
5. Apply descaler solution to the descaler according to
the details.
6. Fill the descaler solution into the steam boiler. Do
not seal the steam boiler.
7. Allow the descaler solution to take effect for
approx. 8 hours.
8. Drain descaler solution completely out of the steam
boiler.
9. Repeat the descaling process if necessary.
10. Rinse the steam boiler 2-3 times with cold water in
order to drain all the descaler solution residue.
11. Drain the water completely out of the steam boiler.

Care of accessories
(Accessories - depending on scope of delivery)
Note

will affect the ability of the cloths to pick up dirt.
1. Wash the floor cleaning cloths and covers at a max.
temperature of 60 °C in the washing machine.
