Kärcher SC 4 EasyFix Iron Bedienungsanleitung Seite 16

Prior to using the carpet glider, make sure that the car-
pet has been vacuumed and that stains have been re-
moved.
Prior to application and following operating pauses, re-
move any possible water accumulation (condensate) in
the appliance by means of evaporating the condensate
into a drain (without floor cleaning cloth / with accesso-
ries).
Only use the carpet glider with a floor cleaning cloth on
the floor nozzle.
Steam clean with a weak steam stage when using the
carpet glider.
In order to prevent too much moistening and to avoid
the risk of damage due to temperature effects, do not di-
rect the steam continuously onto one spot (maximum
5 seconds).
Do not use the carpet glider on deep-pile carpets.
Fastening the carpet glider to the floor nozzle
1. For fastening the floor cleaning cloth to the floor
nozzle, please refer to chapter Floor nozzle.

2. Using a little force, allow the floor nozzle to slide into
the carpet glider and engage there.

Iron steam pressure
Note
We recommend using the KÄRCHER ironing board with
active steam suctioning. This ironing board is optimally
matched to the device you have acquired. It facilitates
and speeds up the ironing process. In any case, the
ironing board used should have a steam-permeable,
grid-like ironing base surface.
Note
It should be noted that in the case of an ironing board
without steam extraction, it is possible for an ironing
board cover to become wet if condensate accumulates.

ATTENTION
Material damage due to condensate/moisture
Ironing may cause condensation to drip on the floor and
damage sensitive floor coverings.
If possible, perform ironing tasks on a floor covering
which is insensitive to condensation (e.g. tiles/stone).
For sensitive floor covering, ensure that the area on
which condensation can drip is adequately protected
(e.g. water-impermeable floor mat).
Note
The iron plate must be hot to prevent steam from con-
densing on the sole plate and dripping onto the ironing
laundry.

1. Ensure that tap water or a mixture of tap water and
no more than 50% distilled water is in the steam boil-
er of the steam cleaner.

3. Putting the steam cleaner into operation; see Chap-
ter Switching on the device.
4. Wait until the steam cleaner is ready for use.
5. The iron is ready for use as soon as the indicator
light (orange) has gone out.
6. The warning light comes on during use, when the
iron is reheating. The application must not be inter-
rupted during reheating.
ATTENTION
Damage to garments
Failure to observe the ironing information in the garment
may result in damage.
Observe the ironing information in the garment.
Note
With the fixed, optimal temperature setting, all ironable
textiles can be ironed without additional temperature
setting.
Smooth delicate fabrics and imprints on the back with
steam without direct contact with the iron.
Note
The iron is fitted with an automatic switch-off which
switches off the device if it has not been moved for more
than 5 minutes. This automatic shut-off increases safety
and saves energy as the iron does not heat up continu-
ously. The iron will switch back on as soon as it is moved
and start heating up.
Note
The iron can be held vertically for steaming curtains,
dresses, etc.
1. As soon as the heating indicator light (orange) of the
iron goes out, ironing can be started.
2. Press the steam switch on the handle below. Steam
emits as long as the switch is pressed.
3. Before ironing and after pauses in the ironing pro-
cess, direct the blast of steam onto a cloth until the
steam flows evenly.
