WARNING
Only use products approved by Kärcher to
exclude any damages of the appliance.
User the KÄRCHER decalcifier sticks
(order no. 6.295-047) to decalcify the
water. Please follow the dosing instruc-
tions on the packaging while using the
decalcifying solution.
Caution
Use caution when filling and emptying the
steam cleaner. The descaling solution can
have an aggressive effect on delicate sur-
faces.
Pour the descaling solution into the boi-
ler and allow it to react for approximate-
ly 8 hours.
WARNING
Do not screw the steam boiler seal (A7) on
the appliance during the descaling. Do not
use the steam cleaner as long as there is
descaling agent in the boiler.
Empty the descaling solution after 8
hours. A small amount of the solution
will remain in the boiler. Therefore, you
should rinse the boiler two to three
times with cold water to remove any re-
sidue of the descaler.
Screw the steam boiler seal (A7) in (clo-
se it) using the extension pipe (G1).
After the refilling with fresh water (see
page 21, "Filling the Water Reservoir")
the steam cleaner is ready for use
again.
Care of the Accessories
Allow the accessory parts to dry completely
before storing them.
Do not place the floor nozzle (H1), the
manual nozzle (E1), and the round
brush (D3) onto the bristles during the
cooling and drying process to avoid a
deformation of the bristles.
Note: The floorcloth and the terry cloth
cover have been pre-washed and can
be used immediately for working with
the steam cleaner.
You can wash dirty floorcloths and terry
cloth covers in the washing machine at
60°C. Do not use a liquid softener as
this would affect the ability of the cloths
to pick up dirt. You may tumble dry the
cloths.
