Danger
Always disconnect the mains plug and allow the
steam cleaner to cool down before performing
any maintenance work.
Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest after
10 boiler fillings.

Fill the boiler with water and shake it strong-
ly. This dissolves lime scaling residing on the
boiler bottom.

Empty water out.
Note: If you always use usual commercial dis-
tilled water it is not necessary to descale the boil-
er.
As limescale builds up on the boiler walls, we
recommend to descale the boiler in the following
intervals (RF=reservoir fillings):
Note: Please contact your Conservancy Board
or the local water supply company to inquire
about the hardness of your water.

Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.

Allow device to cool down.

Remove the safety cap from the device.

Completely empty the steam boiler to re-
move existing water (see fig. ).
몇
Warning
Only use products approved by KÄRCHER to
exclude any damages of the appliance.

User the KÄRCHER decalcifier sticks (order
no. 6.295-047) to decalcify the water. Please
follow the dosing instructions on the packag-
ing while using the decalcifying solution.
Caution
Use caution when filling and emptying the steam
cleaner. The descaling solution can have an ag-
gressive effect on delicate surfaces.

Pour the descaling solution into the boiler
and allow it to react for approximately 8
hours.
몇
Warning
Do not screw the safety lock on the appliance
during the decalcifying.
Do not use the steam cleaner as long as there is
decalcifying agent in the boiler.

Completely empty the descaling solution af-
ter 8 hours. A small amount of the solution
will remain in the boiler. Therefore, you
should rinse the boiler two to three times with
cold water to remove any residues of the
descaler.

Completely empty the steam boiler to re-
move existing water (see fig. ).
Note: The floorcloth and the terry cloth cover
have been pre-washed and can be used imme-
diately for working with the steam cleaner.

You can wash dirty floorcloths and terry cloth
covers in the washing machine at 60°C. Do
not use a liquid softener as this would affect
the ability of the cloths to pick up dirt. You
may tumble dry the cloths.
