 Install detail nozzle on the steam gun.
The closer this nozzle is to the contaminated area, the
higher the cleaning effect, as the temperature and the
steam are highest at the nozzle output. Especially suit-
ed for cleaning difficult access locations, joints, fittings,
drains, sinks, toilets, blinds and heaters. Heavy lime
scale can be drenched in vinegar prior to steam-clean-
ing. Let the vinegar penetrate for about 5 minutes.
Illustration

Attach the round brush to the detail nozzle.
The round brush can be installed onto the detail nozzle
as an accessory. Attached brushes can therefore be
used to remove heavy soiling.
ATTENTION
Not suitable for cleaning sensitive surfaces.
Illustration
 Install hand nozzle on steam gun.
Pull the cloth cover over the hand nozzle. Especially
well-suited for small washable areas, shower stalls and
mirrors.
Suited for all washable walls and floor coverings, e.g.
stone floors, tiles and PVC floors. Work slowly on very
dirty surfaces to allow the steam to act on the dirt for a
longer period of time.
Note
Detergent residue or care emulsions that are still pre-
sent on the surface to be cleaned can lead to streaks
during steam cleaning. However, these will disappear
with repeated cleaning procedures.


Connect the extension tubes with the steam gun.

Connect the floor nozzle to the extension tubes.
Illustration
 Attach the floor cloth to the floor nozzle.
– Tip extension tube far forward until it is perpendic-
ular, thereby the side flaps of the floor nozzle fold
up down.
– Place the floor nozzle on top of the floor cloth, allow
the side flaps to slide into the two tabs of the floor
cloth.
– Tip the extension tube back again, thereby the side
flaps lock and the cloth firmly at the floor nozzle.

 During work breaks, hook the floor nozzle into the
parking holder.
Notes
 We recommend using the Kärcher ironing table
with active steam extraction. This ironing table has
been designed to match your new steam cleaner. It
facilitates and, thus, accelerates the ironing pro-
cess substantially. In any case, you should use an
ironing table which is covered with a mesh-type un-
derlay allowing the steam to pass through.
 Please do not select the VapoHydro function while
the steam pressure iron is plugged in to prevent the
laundry to be ironed from getting wet.
 Make sure that there is fresh tap water in the boiler
of the steam cleaner.
 Tightly insert the steam plug of the iron into the ap-
pliance connector. The plug must click into place
audibly.
Display - iron will light up green permanently
 Start-up the steam cleaner according to the de-
scription.
Recommended steam levels:
 Wait until the steam cleaner is ready to use.
All fabrics can be steam ironed. Delicate imprints or fab-
rics should be ironed on the reverse or according to the
manufacturer’s specifications.
Note
For these sensitive textiles, we recommend using the
KÄRCHER non-stick ironing sole BE 6006.
 Adjust the temperature control of the steam iron
within the notched range (•••/MAX).
 As soon as the indicator lamp of the heater of the
iron switches off, you can start ironing.
Note
The sole plate must be hot to prevent the steam from
condensing on the sole plate and dripping onto the gar-
ment to be ironded.
 Use the top or bottom steam switch.
– Steaming at intervals: Press the steam switch.
Steam will be emitted while the switch is pressed.
– Continuous steaming : Pull the latch for the steam
switch toward the rear until it locks in. Steam will
escape continuously. To unlock, push the lock for-
ward.

Direct the first burst of steam at the start of the iron-
ing process or after ironing breaks at a separate
piece of cloth until the steam is emitted evenly.
 You can hold the iron in an upright position to apply
steam to curtains, dresses, etc.
ATTENTION
Even if you iron without steam, there must be water in
the boiler.
 Adjust the temperature of the iron according to the
garment you want to iron.
ATTENTION
Please observe the ironing and washing instructions in
your garment.
 As soon as the indicator lamp of the heater of the
iron switches off, you can start ironing.
