Dear Customer,
Please read and comply with
these instructions prior to the in-
itial operation of your appliance. Retain these
operating instructions for future reference or
for subsequent possessors.
The appliance is intended for use as a dry
vacuum cleaner corresponding to the descrip-
tions given in these operating instructions and
the safety notes.
As an option, small volumes of liquid can be
vacuumed.
–
Use this appliance only with a filled water
filter container.

Use this appliance only for personal use;
use only the accessories and spare parts
approved by KÄRCHER for such use.
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a water
filtering system that picks up even the small-
est particles. The additional HEPA-Plus high
performance filter is a trap for all allergens.
The exhaust air is cleaned to 99.99% of all
particles larger than 0.3 µm and thus cleaner
than the ambient air.
The packaging material can be recy-
cled. Please do not place the packag-
ing into the ordinary refuse for disposal, but
arrange for the proper recycling.
Old appliances contain valuable materi-
als that can be recycled. Please ar-
range for the proper recycling of old
appliances. Please dispose your old applianc-
es using appropriate collection systems.

The filters are made from environment-friend-
ly materials. They can therefore be disposed
off through the normal household garbage
provided you have not sucked in substances
that are not permitted to be thrown into house-
hold garbage.
The wastewater can be discharged via the
drain as long as it does not contain illegal sub-
stances.
