Floor Nozzle; Maintenance And Care - Kärcher SC 5 Premium Iron Plug Bedienungsanleitung

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 pre-
sent on the surface to be cleaned can lead to streaks
during steam cleaning. However, these will disappear
with repeated cleaning procedures.
Illustration
 Connect the extension tubes with the steam gun.
 Connect the floor nozzle to the extension tubes.
Illustration
 Attach the floor cloth to the floor nozzle.
– Tip extension tube far forward until it is perpendic-
ular, thereby the side flaps of the floor nozzle fold
up down.
– Place the floor nozzle on top of the floor cloth, allow
the side flaps to slide into the two tabs of the floor
cloth.
– Tip the extension tube back again, thereby the side
flaps lock and the cloth firmly at the floor nozzle.
Parking the floor nozzle
Illustration
 During work breaks, hook the floor nozzle into the
parking holder.
Steam pressure iron
Notes
We recommend using the Kärcher ironing table

with active steam extraction. This ironing table has
been designed to match your new steam cleaner. It
facilitates and, thus, accelerates the ironing pro-
cess substantially. In any case, you should use an
ironing table which is covered with a mesh-type un-
derlay allowing the steam to pass through.
 The steam level 5 (VapoHydro function) is blocked
while the steam pressure iron is plugged in to pre-
vent 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 ap-
pliance connector. The plug must click into place
audibly.
Display - iron will light up green permanently
 Start-up the steam cleaner according to the de-
scription.
Recommended steam levels:
Level Textiles
1 Slightly wrinkled clothes
2-4 Cotton fabrics
3-4 Jeans
 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.
Dry ironing
ATTENTION
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
ATTENTION
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

Rinsing the steam boiler
Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest after 8 boiler
fillings.
 Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
 Allow the steam cleaner to cool down.
 Empty the water reservoir or remove it from the ap-
pliance.
 Remove the accessories from the accessory com-
partments.
Illustration
 Open the locking door of the accessory compartment.
 Remove the accessories from the accessory com-
partment.
 Open the maintenance lock. For this, place the
open end of an extension pipe onto the mainte-
nance lock, lock it into the guide and unscrew it.
 Fill the boiler with water and swing it strongly. This
dissolves lime scaling residing on the boiler bottom.
Illustration
 Completely empty the steam boiler to remove exist-
ing water.
Descaling the Steam Boiler
As limes cale builds up on the boiler walls, we recom-
mend to de scale the boiler in the following intervals (RF
= reservoir fillings):
Degree of hardness
I soft
II medium
III hard
IV very hard
