It is recommended to sweep or vacuum the
floor prior to using the steam cleaner. This
way, the floor is already cleared of dirt/
loose particles prior to the wet cleaning.
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.
The safety thermostat turns off the appli-
ance if the boiler thermostat and the pres-
sure controller fails and the appliance
overheats in case of a malfunction. Please
contact your local KÄRCHER customer
service to arrange for the reset of the safety
thermostat.
