Dry Ironing; Maintenance And Care - Kärcher SC 2.600 C Bedienungsanleitung

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 rec-
ommend 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
(•••/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 pre-
vent the steam from condensing on the
sole plate and dripping onto the gar-
ment 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 un-
til it locks in. Steam will escape continu-
ously. 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 posi-
tion to apply steam to curtains, dresses,
etc.

Dry ironing

must be water in the boiler.
Adjust the temperature of the iron ac-
cording 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.

Maintenance and care

Danger
Always disconnect the mains plug and al-
low the steam cleaner to cool down before
performing any maintenance work.
Rinsing the steam boiler
Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest
after 10 boiler fillings.
Disconnect the mains plug from the
socket.
Allow the steam cleaner to cool down.
Empty the water reservoir.
Remove the accessories from the ac-
cessory compartments.
Illustration
Open the maintenance lock. For this,
place the open end of an extension pipe
onto the maintenance lock, lock it into
the guide and unscrew it.
Fill the boiler with water and shake it
strongly. This dissolves lime scaling re-
siding on the boiler bottom.
Completely empty the steam boiler to
remove existing water (see Fig.
Descaling the Steam Boiler
As limescale builds up on the boiler walls,
we recommend to descale the boiler in the
following intervals (RF=reservoir fillings):
Degree of hard-
ness
I soft
II medium
III hard
IV very hard
Note: Please contact your Conservancy
Board or the local water supply company to
inquire about the hardness of your water.
