Interrupting Operation; Ending Operation - Kärcher FC 8 Smart Signature Line Bedienungsanleitung

Setting cleaning modes
The app can be used to select cleaning modes recom-
mended by KÄRCHER for different floors. The cleaning
modes differ in terms of water quantity and roller speed
depending on the sensitivity of the floor. Downloading
the App is described in the chapter Connecting the hard
floor cleaner with Bluetooth and the app.
The following cleaning modes are available for different
floor coverings:
● Tiles
● Laminate
● unsealed parquet
● sealed parquet
● PVC
● Linoleum
● Cork
● Marble
● Rubber mount
● Exposed screed
Customised cleaning modes can also be set via the
app. Here it is possible to reduce the amount of water
and the roller speed in 5 steps.
Note
When cleaning in a cleaning mode with a low water sup-
ply, most of the water remains on the floor. Hardly any
water is wiped off the rollers, which means that very little
water enters the waste water tank.
Battery run time
The battery symbol on the display shows the battery run
time. The display of the battery symbol can be changed
via the settings. The battery run time can be represent-
ed by:
● the filling level of a battery
● a minute display
● a percentage display
Acoustic or optical signals warn of an empty battery:
● An acoustic signal sounds once and a warning ap-
pears on the display approx. 5 minutes before the
battery is flat.
Illustration T
● An acoustic signal sounds twice and a warning ap-
pears on the display approx. 2 minutes before the
battery is flat.
● Once the battery is flat, cleaning is stopped. Clean-
ing cannot be started as long as the battery is flat.

pears on the LCD display and an acoustic signal
