Please use exclusively KÄRCHER deter-
gents and care products to carry out the re-
spective cleaning task, as these were
specifically developed for your appliance.
The use of other detergents and care prod-
ucts may lead to premature wear and can
invalidate your warranty claims. Please ob-
tain information at your local dealer or re-
quest information directly from KÄRCHER.
Notes regarding the detergent
: The most
commonly use detergents can be pur-
chased ready to use in their detergent res-
ervoirs with locking lids. This will make the
pesky refilling and filling processes redun-
dant.
Illustration
Remove the lid from the detergent res-
ervoir and press the detergent reservoir
into the detergent connection with the
opening facing down.
Illustration
Adjust the suction volume of the deter-
gent solution by means of the dosage
regulator for detergents.
Use spray lance with pressure regula-
tion (Vario Power).
Turn the spray lance to "Mix" position.
Note:
This will mix the detergent with
the water stream.

be used to work with detergent.
Spray the detergent sparingly on the
dry surface and allow it to react, but not
to dry.
