The floor cleaning cloth will stick to the floor nozzle
of its own accord due to the hook and loop fastening.
Removing the floor cleaning cloth

cleaning cloth and lift the floor nozzle up.

Note
Initially, the floor cleaning cloth's hook and loop fas-
tener strip is very strong and cannot be removed
from the floor nozzle easily. After the floor cleaning
cloth has been used several times and washed, it is
easier to remove from the floor nozzle and it has
reached the optimum adhesion.
Parking the floor nozzle
1. Hang the floor nozzle in the park bracket during
breaks in work.

Carpet glider
The carpet glider is used for freshening up carpets.
ATTENTION
Beware of damaging the carpet glider and carpet
Contamination on the carpet glider, as well as heat and
moisture penetration, can result in the carpet being
damaged.
Prior to the application, also check the heat resistance
and impact of steam on the carpet at an insignificant
spot using as small an amount of steam as possible.
Observe the cleaning instructions from the carpet man-
ufacturer.
Prior to using the carpet glider, make sure that the car-
pet has been vacuumed and that stains have been re-
moved.
Prior to application and following operating pauses, re-
move any possible water accumulation (condensate) in
the appliance by means of evaporating the condensate
into a drain (without floor cleaning cloth / with accesso-
ries).
Only use the carpet glider with a floor cleaning cloth on
the floor nozzle.
Steam clean with a weak steam stage when using the
carpet glider.
In order to prevent too much moistening and to avoid
the risk of damage due to temperature effects, do not di-
rect the steam continuously onto one spot (maximum
5 seconds).
Do not use the carpet glider on deep-pile carpets.
Fastening the carpet glider to the floor nozzle
1. For fastening the floor cleaning cloth to the floor
nozzle, please refer to chapter Floor nozzle.

Iron steam pressure
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.
Note
Do not turn on the steam stage for the VapoHydro func-
tion when the steam pressure iron is plugged in, since
otherwise the ironing laundry will get wet.
Recommended steam stages
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.
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 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
For sensitive textiles, we recommend using the
KÄRCHER non-stick electric iron plate BE 6006.
Note
The iron plate must be hot to prevent steam from con-
densing on the sole plate and dripping onto the ironing
laundry.
The iron can be held vertically for steaming curtains,
dresses, etc.
1. Set the temperature controller of the iron within the
selected range ( /MAX).
As soon as the orange heating indicator light of the
iron goes out, ironing can be started.
2. Press the “steam” switch (top) or the “steam” switch
(bottom).
