Danger
Always disconnect the mains plug and al-
low the steam cleaner to cool down before
performing any maintenance work.
Note:
If you always use usual commercial
distilled water it is not necessary to descale
the boiler.
Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest
after 5 boiler fillings.
Î
Fill the boiler with water and shake it
strongly. This dissolves lime scaling re-
siding on the boiler bottom.
Î
Empty water out.
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.
Î
Disconnect the mains plug from the
socket.
Î
Completely empty the steam boiler.

Warning
Only use products approved by KÄRCHER
to exclude any damages of the appliance.
Î
User the KÄRCHER decalcifier sticks
(order no. 6.295-047) to decalcify the
water. Please follow the dosing instruc-
tions on the packaging while using the
decalcifying solution.
Caution
Use caution when filling and emptying the
steam cleaner. The descaling solution can
have an aggressive effect on delicate sur-
faces.
Î
Pour the descaling solution into the boil-
er and allow it to react for approximately
8 hours.
몇
Warning
Do not screw the safety lock on the appli-
ance during the decalcifying.
Do not use the steam cleaner as long as
there is decalcifying agent in the boiler.
Î
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.
Î
The steam cleaner is now ready for use
again.
Note:
The floorcloth and the terry cloth cov-
er have been pre-washed and can be used
immediately for working with the steam
cleaner.
Î
You can wash dirty floorcloths and terry
cloth covers in the washing machine at

this would affect the ability of the cloths
to pick up dirt. You may tumble dry the
