5. How to use the accessories
Floor nozzle (H1)
Fields of application:
– all washable wall and floor coverings, e.g.:
stone floors, tiles, and PVC floors.
• Attach the floorcloth (H3) to the floor nozzle
(H1). Fold up the floorcloth lengthways, and
place the floor nozzle on the cloth. Pull the
jutting out ends of the floorcloths one after the
other under the retaining clips (H2) (see
Figure 12).
Figure 12: Attaching the floorcloth
• To remove the cloth, press the retaining clips
(H2), and pull out the cloth.
• Turn and exchange the floorcloth in regular
intervals. Doing so, you improve the
absorption of dirt.
• Work slowly on very dirty surfaces to allow the
steam to act on the dirt for a longer period of
time.
• If there are residues of detergents or floor-
cleaningproducts (e.g. wax, liquid polish) on
the surface to be cleaned, streaks may form
during the cleaning. These streaks normally
disappear after a repeated use of the steam
cleaner.

Steam iron (K1)
The steam iron is available as a special
accessory (see page 27 for the order number).
• Firmly insert the modular accessory plug (K5)
into the appliance connector (A1) of the steam
iron. Both pins of the modular accessory plug
must lock into the cover of the appliance
connector.
Steam ironing
We recommend to use the Kärcher ironing table
with active steam extraction. This ironing table
has been designed to match your new steam
cleaner. It facilitates and, thus, accelerates the
ironing process substantially. In any case, you
should use an ironing table which is covered with
a mesh-type underlay allowing the steam to
pass through.
• All fabrics can be steam ironed. Adjust the
temperature control of the steam iron within
the notched range. Iron fabrics, such as cotton
or linen, at position "•••/MAX".
Delicate imprints or fabrics should be ironed
on the reverse or according to the
manufacturer's specifications. You can also
use our anti-stick sole plate (optional
accessory).
• Once the indicator lamp on the steam iron (K2)
has gone out, the steam iron is ready for use.
The sole plate must be hot to prevent the
steam from condensing on the sole plate and
dripping onto the garment to be ironed.
• Press the switch (K3) on the iron. Steam flows
out on the sole plate.
Press the switch to the front: A steam burst is
emitted while the switch is being pressed.
Press the switch to the back: The switch locks
and steam is continuously emitted. To release,
press the switch to the front.
• Direct the first burst of steam at a separate
piece of cloth until the steam is emitted evenly.
• Set the steam quantity controller (B2) on the
appliance to the desired quantity of steam.
• You can hold the iron in an upright position to
apply steam to curtains, dresses, etc.
Dry ironing
• Use the temperature controller (K4) to set the
desired temperature according to the type of
fabric. The symbols on the controller have the
following meanings:
– Man-made fibre •
– Wool:
– Linen:
