Maintenance and Care

DANGER
Always disconnect the mains plug and allow
the steam cleaner to cool down before per-
forming any maintenance work.
Note: If you always use usual commercial
distilled water it is not necessary to descale
the boiler.

Rinsing the boiler

Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest
after 5 boiler fillings.
Fill the boiler with water and shake it
strongly. This dissolves lime scaling re-
siding on the boiler bottom.
Empty water out.

Descaling the boiler

As limescale builds up on the boiler walls,
we recommend to descale the boiler in the
following intervals (RF=reservoir fillings):
Degree of hardness
I soft
II medium
III hard
IV very hard
Note: Please contact your Conservancy
Board or the local water supply company to
inquire about the hardness of your water.
Disconnect the mains plug from the
socket.
Completely empty the steam boiler.
WARNING
Only use products approved by Kärcher to
exclude any damages of the appliance.
User the Kärcher decalcifier sticks (order
no. 6.295-206) for decalcifying the water.
Please follow the dosing instructions on
the packaging while using the decalcify-
ing solution.
Caution
Use caution when filling and emptying the
steam cleaner. The descaling solution can
have an aggressive effect on delicate sur-
faces.

WARNING
Do not screw the steam boiler cap on the ap-
pliance 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 residues
of the descaler.
The steam cleaner is now 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
(D2) onto the bristles during the cooling
and drying process to avoid a deforma-
tion of the bristles.
Note: The floorcloth and the terry cloth cov-
er 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.
