This device is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental abil-
ities or lacking experience and/or

the use of the device. Children should
be supervised, to ensure that they do
not play with the device.
Never leave the appliance unattended
when it is in operation.
Be very careful while cleaning tiled
walls with sockets.
Caution
Make sure that the power cable or ex-
tension cables are not damaged by run-
ning over, pinching, dragging or similar.
Protect the power cable from heat, oil,
and sharp edges.
Never fill solvents, solvent-containing
liquids or undiluted acids (e.g. deter-
gents, benzene, paint thinner, and ace-
tone) into the water reservoir as these
substances affect the materials used on
the appliance.
The appliance must provide of a stable
ground.
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.
Caution
Safety devices protect the user and must
not be modified or bypassed.
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.
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.
