ATTENTION
Material damage due to condensate/moisture
Ironing may cause condensation to drip on the floor and
damage sensitive floor coverings.
If possible, perform ironing tasks on a floor covering
which is insensitive to condensation (e.g. tiles/stone).
For sensitive floor covering, ensure that the area on
which condensation can drip is adequately protected
(e.g. water-impermeable floor mat).
Note
The iron plate must be hot to prevent steam from con-
densing on the sole plate and dripping onto the ironing
laundry.
1. Ensure that tap water or a mixture of tap water and
no more than 50% distilled water is in the steam boil-
er of the steam cleaner.
2. Insert the steam plug of the iron into the unit plug un-
til it clicks into place.
3. Putting the steam cleaner into operation, see chap-
ter
Switching on the device
.
4. Wait until the steam cleaner is ready for use.
5. The iron is ready for use as soon as the indicator
light (orange) has gone out.
6. The warning light comes on during use, when the
iron is reheating. The application must not be inter-
rupted during reheating.
Steam ironing
Note
We recommend using the KÄRCHER ironing board with
active steam suctioning. This ironing board is optimally-
matched to the device you have acquired. It facilitates
and speeds up the ironing process. In any case, the
ironing board used should have a steam-permeable,
grid-like ironing base surface.
1. Ensure that tap water or a mixture of tap water and
no more than 50% distilled water is in the steam boil-
er of the steam cleaner.
2. Insert the steam plug of the iron into the unit plug un-
til it clicks into place.
The iron display stays lit in green.
3. Putting the steam cleaner into operation; see Chap-
ter
Switching on the device
4. Wait until the steam cleaner is ready for use.
Steam ironing
All fabrics can be ironed with steam. Iron sensitive fab-
rics or overprints on the reverse or, as the case may be,
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
ATTENTION
Damage to garments
Failure to observe the ironing information in the garment
may result in damage.
Observe the ironing information in the garment.
Note
With the fixed, optimal temperature setting, all ironable
textiles can be ironed without additional temperature
setting.
Smooth delicate fabrics and imprints on the back with
steam without direct contact with the iron. Steaming the
fabrics at a distance of 2 to 3 cm will gently straighten
the fibres.
Note
The iron is fitted with an automatic switch-off which
switches off the device if it has not been moved for more
than 5 minutes. This automatic shut-off increases safety
and saves energy as the iron does not heat up continu-
ously. The iron will switch back on as soon as it is moved
and start heating up.
Note
The iron can be held vertically for steaming curtains,
dresses, etc.
1. As soon as the heating indicator light (orange) of the
iron goes out, ironing can be started.
2. Press the steam switch on the handle below. Steam
emits as long as the switch is pressed.
3. Before ironing and after pauses in the ironing pro-
cess, direct the blast of steam onto a cloth until the
steam flows evenly.
Dry ironing
ATTENTION
Damage to the device
Water shortage in the steam boiler leads to damage to
the device
Make sure that there is water in the steam boiler.
ATTENTION
Damage to garments
Failure to observe the ironing information in the garment
may result in damage.
Observe the ironing information in the garment.
Note
With the fixed, optimal temperature setting, all ironable
textiles can be ironed without additional temperature
setting.
Delicate fabrics and prints should not be dry ironed.
Ɣ
Wait until the heating indicator light (orange) of the
iron goes out.
The iron is ready for ironing.
Care and service
Descaling the steam boiler
Note
Since the lime clogs the appliance, we recommend des-
caling the appliance based on the number of times the
water reservoir is filled as specified in the table (TF=tank
fillings).
Note
Your water board or municipal utilities authority can pro-
vide information on hardness of tap water.
ATTENTION
Damaged surfaces
The descaler may corrode sensitive surfaces.
Fill and empty the appliance carefully.
1. Switching off the device, see chapter
Switching off
the device
.
2. Allow the device to cool down.
3. Drain the water reservoir.
