2 minutes, switch the appliance off and pro-
ceed in accordance with the instructions in
Chapter "Troubleshooting".
High pressure operation
CAUTION
Keep a distance of at least 30 cm when us-

DANGER
When using detergents, the material data

instructions regarding personal protective
equipment.
Notes regarding the detergent: The most
commonly used KÄRCHER detergents can

This will make the pesky refilling and filling
processes redundant.

gent bottle into the detergent connec-
tion with the opening facing down.

tion (Vario Power).
