Safety Devices - Kärcher SC 1125 Manual Del Usuario

In wet rooms, e.g. bathrooms, connect
the appliance to sockets with a series
connected RCD adapter.
Unsuitable extension cables can be
hazardous. Only use a splashproof ex-
tension cable with a minimum section of
3x1 mm².
The connection between power cord
and extension cable must not lie in wa-
ter.
If couplings of the power cord or exten-
sion cable are replace the splash pro-
tection and the mechanical tightness
must be ensured.
The operator must use the appliance
correctly. When working with the appli-
ance, he must consider the local condi-
tions and pay due care and attention to
other persons, in particular children,
who are nearby.
This device is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental abil-
ities or lacking experience and/or
knowledge, unless they are supervised
by a person responsible for their safety
or are instructed by these persons on
the use of the device. Children should
be supervised, to ensure that they do
not play with the device.
Never leave the appliance unattended
when it is in operation.
Be very careful while cleaning tiled
walls with sockets.
Caution
Make sure that the power cable or ex-
tension cables are not damaged by run-
ning over, pinching, dragging or similar.
Protect the power cable from heat, oil,
and sharp edges.
Never fill solvents, solvent-containing
liquids or undiluted acids (e.g. deter-
gents, benzene, paint thinner, and ace-
tone) into the water reservoir as these
substances affect the materials used on
the appliance.
The appliance must provide of a stable
ground.

Never operate or store the appliance in
a horizontal position!
The steam switch must not be locked
during the operation.
Protect the appliance from rain. Do not
store outside.

Safety Devices

Caution
Safety devices protect the user and must
not be modified or bypassed.
Pressure controller
The pressure controller keeps the boiler
pressure during the operation as constant
as possible. The heating is turned off if the
maximum operating pressure of 4 bar is
reached in the boiler and is reactivated in
case of a pressure drop in the boiler due to
steam tapping.
Low-water thermostat
When the water in the boiler becomes ex-
hausted, the temperature of the heating in-
creases. The low-water thermostat turns off
the heating, and the red low-water indicator
lamp lights up. The heating is prevented
from being turned on again until the boiler
has cooled down or refilled with water.
Safety thermostat
If the boiler thermostat fails and the appli-
ance overheats, then the safety thermostat
turns off the appliance.
Please contact your local KÄRCHER cus-
tomer service to arrange for the reset of the
safety thermostat.
Safety lock
The safety lock seals the boiler against the
steam pressure that builds up in the boiler.
If the pressure controller is defect and the
steam pressure in the boiler rises, a pres-
sure control valve in the safety lock opens,
and steam is emitted through the lock to the
outside.
Please contact your local KÄRCHER cus-
tomer service before you put the appliance
into operation again.
