Interrupting Operation; Important Application Instructions - Kärcher SC 3 Deluxe EasyFix Originalbetriebsanleitung

Switching on the device
ATTENTION
Device damage due to incorrectly set water hard-
ness
The decalcification cartridge only works properly if the
device is adjusted to the local water hardness. The de-
vice may calcify if the water hardness is set incorrectly.
Adjust the device to the local water hardness before first
operation, see chapter Setting the water hardness.
Note
When steaming for the first time after removing and re-
inserting the decalcification cartridge, the steam jet may
be weak or irregular, and individual drops of water may
be expelled. The device requires a short running-in pe-
riod in which the decalcification cartridge fills with water.
The steam volume that is expelled increases constantly
until the maximum steam volume has been reached af-
ter approx. 30 seconds.
1. Place the device on a firm surface.
2. Connect the mains plug into a socket.
3. Press the On/Off switch.

ume.
2. Before starting cleaning, point the steam gun at a
cloth until steam is expelled evenly.
Topping up the water
If there is a water shortage, the LED strip rapidly flashes
red.
For constant steam output, the water has to be topped
up through the cover of the decalcification cartridge.
When topping up the water, the decalcification cartridge
remains secured in the device.
Note
The device is equipped with dry-run protection for the
pump. If the pump runs dry for a longer period, e.g. be-
cause the decalcification cartridge is not correctly in-
serted, the pump switches off and the red water
shortage indicator light flashes.
To be able to operate the device again, the device has
to be switched off and back on again. In the process,
you must make sure that the cartridge has been insert-
ed correctly and there is enough water in the water res-
ervoir.
1. Fill the water reservoir with a maximum of 1 l of tap
water through the cover of the decalcification car-
tridge.
The LED strip lights up in a constant green.
