Steam cleaning electric household
appliances
If you use the appliance to clean electric
household appliances (e.g. electric kit-
chen ranges) these appliances must be
off circuit (switch off the fuse). Before
you use the appliances again make sure
they have dried completely. Please ob-
serve the notes of the appliance manu-
facturers!
Do not use the steamer on electrical ap-
pliancies such as lamps, hair driers,
electric heaters, as the steam may cause
an electrical defect.
Maintenance
Turn off the appliance and remove the
mains plug prior to any care and mainte-
nance works.
The steam boiler seal may only be ope-
ned to descale the appliance.
Never open the steam boiler seal if the
appliance is hot or turned on.
Repair works may only be performed by
the authorized customer service.
Storage
Caution: Never operate or store the ap-
pliance in a horizontal position!
Protect the unit from rain. Do not store
outside.
Safety elements
This steam cleaner is equipped with several
safety devices that provide an all-round pro-
tection of the appliance. The most important
safety devices are described in the follo-
wing.
Pressure controller
The pressure controller keeps the boiler
pressure during the operation as constant as
possible. The heating is turned off if the ma-
ximum operating pressure of 3.5 bar is rea-
ched in the boiler and is reactivated in case
of a pressure drop in the boiler due to steam
tapping.
Boiler thermostat
If there is no water in the boiler the tempera-
ture in the boiler rises. The boiler thermostat
turns off the heating. The heating is preven-
ted from being turned on again until the boi-
ler has been filled.
Safety thermostat
If the boiler thermostat fails and the ap-
pliance overheats, then the safety thermo-
stat turns off the appliance.
Please contact your local Kärcher customer
service to arrange for the reset of the safety
thermostat.
Steam boiler seal
The steam boiler seal acts as a pressure
control valve at the same time. It 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 above
5.7 bar, the steam boiler seal opens, and
steam is emitted through the lock to the out-
side.
Please contact your local Kärcher customer
service before you put the appliance into
operation again.
