Refilling Water; Using Accessories - Kärcher SG 4/2 Classic Bedienungsanleitung

4. Switch off the heating at the switch when transport-
ing the device.
5. Press the steam switch, steam comes out. Always
point the steam gun at a cloth first until the steam
flows out evenly.
VAPOHYDRO
● In wet areas, the dirt can also be washed away in-
stead of being picked up with the cloth. To do this,
use the VAPOHYDRO mode to maintain a high level
of moisture in the steam jet. A hot water stream is
emitted, which has the greatest rinsing effect.
● We recommend using the VAPOHYDRO in conjunc-
tion with the spotlight nozzle for e.g. cleaning in the
bathroom.
● When working with cloths (floor nozzle, manual noz-
zle), use the steam operation mode to maintain a
low level of moisture in the steam jet. This improves
the dirt-dissolving power of the steam.
Note
In VAPOHYDRO mode, the boiler empties faster, which
means that it can only be used for a short time.
1. Switch the VAPOHYDRO on/off with the Mode
switch.

Refilling water

Note
The "Water shortage" indicator light lights up red when
the water in the fresh water tank is used up.
Note
If the pump does not deliver water despite a full fresh
water tank, the boiler must be descaled.
1. Remove the fresh water tank.
2. Open the reservoir cap of the fresh water tank.
3. Pour approximately 0.5 litres of tap water into the
fresh water tank.
4. Close the reservoir cap.
5. Insert the fresh water tank, the "Water shortage" in-
dicator light goes out. The "Heating" indicator light
lights up red and after the end of the heating process
green, the system is then ready for operation.

Using accessories

Note
Detergent residues or care emulsions on the surface to
be cleaned can cause streaks during steam cleaning,
but these disappear after repeated use.
Application examples for the steam gun without acces-
sories:
● Eliminate odours and creases from hanging clothes
by steaming them at a distance of 10-20 cm.
● Damp dusting by briefly steaming a cloth and wiping
it over furniture.
● The cleaning effect increases the closer the nozzle
is held to the dirty area, since the temperature and
pressure of the steam are greatest at the emission
point.
● The spotlight nozzle with the various attachments is
suitable for cleaning hard-to-reach areas, such as
e.g. corners, joints, etc., blinds, central heating, toi-
lets, stainless steel, windows, mirrors, fittings, coat-
ed and enamelled surfaces and for loosening stains.
● The power nozzle increases the speed of the emit-
ted steam. It is therefore well suited for cleaning par-
ticularly stubborn dirt, blowing out corners, joints,
etc.
Note
The round brush is not suitable for cleaning sensitive
surfaces.
Floor nozzle with slats (special accessory)
● For hygienic cleaning of smooth surfaces, as the
surface temperature is higher.
● For a hygienic cleaning result, steam directly over
the hard surface at a working speed of max. 30 cm
/ second.
Using the floor cleaning cloth (special accessory)
Turn and change the floor cleaning cloth regularly to im-
prove dirt absorption.
1. Fasten the floor cleaning cloth to the floor nozzle. To
do this, fold the floor cleaning cloth lengthways and
place the floor nozzle on it, open the retaining clips,
place the ends of the cloth in the openings and
stretch tightly, close the retaining clips.
CAUTION
Danger from retaining clips
Risk of crushing
Do not put your fingers between the retaining clips.
Suitable for small washable surfaces, shower cubicles,
mirrors or furniture fabrics.

zle.
