„ Never operate or store the appliance in
a horizontal position!
„ The steam switch must not be locked
during the operation.
„ Protect the appliance from rain. Do not
store outside.
This steam cleaner is equipped with sever-
al safety devices that provide an all-round
protection of the appliance. The most im-
portant safety devices are described in the
following.
The pressure controller keeps the boiler
pressure during the operation as constant
as possible. The heating is turned off if the
maximum operating pressure of 4 bar is
reached in the boiler and is reactivated in
case of a pressure drop in the boiler due to
steam tapping.
When the water in the boiler becomes ex-
hausted, the temperature of the heating in-
creases. The low-water thermostat turns off
the heating, and the red low-water indicator
lamp lights up. The heating is prevented
from being turned on again until the boiler
has cooled down or refilled with water.
If the boiler thermostat fails and the appli-
ance overheats, then the safety thermostat
turns off the appliance.
Please contact your local KÄRCHER cus-
tomer service to arrange for the reset of the
safety thermostat.
The safety lock 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, a pres-
sure control valve in the safety lock opens,
and steam is emitted through the lock to the
outside.
Please contact your local KÄRCHER cus-
tomer service before you put the appliance
into operation again.
When you unpack the system, check that
everything is complete (see page 3).
If there are any missing parts or you detect
any transport damage when unpacking,
please inform your dealer immediately.
The packaging material can be recy-
cled. Please do not place the packag-
ing into the ordinary refuse for
disposal, but arrange for the proper
recycling.
Old appliances contain valuable ma-
terials that can be recycled. Please
arrange for the proper recycling of old
appliances. Please dispose your old
appliances using appropriate collec-
tion systems.
