Electrical connection

Danger
Danger of injury by electric shock.
The appliance may only be connected to an
electrical supply which has been installed in ac-
cordance with IEC 60364.
The voltage indicated on the type plate must
correspond to the voltage of the electrical
source.
The minimum fuse rating required at the socket
outlet is (see technical specifications).
The highest allowed net impedance at the elec-
trical connection point (refer to technical data) is
not to be exceeded. In case of confusion re-
garding the power impedance present on your
connection, please contact your utilities provid-
er.
The appliance should always be connected to
the electrical mains using a plug. It is forbidden
to permanently connect the appliance to the
power supply. The plug is only for mains sepa-
ration.
Check the power cord with mains plug for dam-
age before every use. If the power cord is dam-
aged, please arrange immediately for the
exchange by an authorized customer service or
a skilled electrician.
The plug and coupling of the extension cable
used must be watertight.
Use the extension cord that has an adequate
cross-section (see "Technical Data") and un-
wind it fully from the cable drum.
Unsuitable extension cables can be hazardous.
Only use extension cables outdoors which
have been approved for this purpose and la-
belled with a sufficient cable cross section:
For connection values, see type plate/technical
data.

Water connection

Connection to the water supply
Warning
Observe regulations of water supplier.
According to the applicable regula-
tions, the appliance must never be
used on the drinking water supply
without a system separator. Use a
suitable system separator manufactured by
KÄRCHER; or, as an alternative, a system
separator as per EN 12729 Type BA. Water
flowing through a system separator is con-
sidered non-drinkable.
Caution
Always connect the system separator to
the water supply, never directly to the appli-
ance!
For connection values refer to technical
specifications
Connect the supply hose(minimu length
7.5 m, minimum diameter 1/2") to the
water connection point of the machine
and at the water supply point (for e.g. a
tap).
Note
The supply hose is not included.
Open the water supply.
Drawing in water from open reservoirs
Screw the suction hose with filter (order
no. 4.440-238.0) to the water connection.
Deaerate the appliance:
Unscrew the nozzle.

until the water exiting is bubble-free.
At the end let the appliance run for ap-
prox. 10 seconds - then switch off. Re-
peat the procedure for a couple of
times.
Switch off the appliance and fit the noz-
zle again.
