 Use KÄRCHER descaler sticks for descaling.
Please follow the dosing instructions on the pack-
aging when preparing the descaler.
ATTENTION
Use caution when filling and emptying the steam clean-
er. The descaling solution can have an aggressive ef-
fect on delicate surfaces.
 Pour the descaling solution into the boiler and allow
it to react for approximately 8 hours.
 Completely empty the descaling solution after 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 remove exist-
ing water.
Note
The floor cleaning cloth and the terry cloth cover have
been pre-washed and can be used immediately for
working with the steam cleaner.
 You can wash dirty floorcloths and terry cloth cov-
ers 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.
Often, failures have simple causes and you can do the
