Operation

Note
We recommend using the Kärcher ironing table with ac-
tive steam extraction. This ironing table has been de-
signed 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.
Preparing the Appliance
 Open the cover of the appliance socket of the
steam cleaner.
 Tightly insert the steam plug of the iron into the ap-
pliance connector. The plug must click into place
audibly.
To disconnect:
Press the cover of the appliance connector down
and disconnect the steam plug from the appliance
connector.
 Start-up the steam cleaner according to the de-
scription.
 Wait until the steam cleaner is ready to use.
Steam ironing
All fabrics can be steam ironed. Delicate imprints or fab-
rics 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.
 Adjust the temperature control of the steam iron
within the notched range (•••/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 gar-
ment to be ironded.
 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 for-
ward.
 Direct the first burst of steam at the start of the iron-
ing 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.

troubleshooting yourself using the following overview. If
you are in doubt or if the failure is not listed here please
