Note
Slight foam formation in the floor head during operation
is normal and does not impair functionality. Further
measures are only necessary when there is excessive
foam formation (e.g. streaks of foam on the floor).
Incorrect detergent or incorrect dosage.
 Use only KÄRCHER detergent and be sure to use

erings collect in the waste water tank. This can lead to
foam formation under some circumstances.
 Remove all dirt and detergent residues from the
rollers using water.
