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.
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
Attach the round brush to the detail nozzle.
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.
Illustration

– Place the floor nozzle on top of the floor cloth.
Depending on model - fold bevore the floor cloth
the long way.
– Open holding clamps.
– Place the cloth ends into the openings and pull
them tight.
– Close the holding clamps.

During work breaks, hook the floor nozzle into the
parking holder.
Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest after 10 boil-
er fillings.
Fill the boiler with water and swing it strongly. This
dissolves lime scaling residing on the boiler bottom.
Empty water out.
Note
In case of continuous use of commercially available dis-
tilled water, no descaling of the boiler is necessary.
As limescale builds up on the boiler walls, we recom-
mend to descale the boiler in the following intervals
(RF=reservoir fillings):
Note
The hardness of the tap water can be inquired at your
water management office or the municipal utilities.
Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
Allow device to cool down.
Remove the safety lock from the device.

Completely empty the steam boiler to remove exist-
ing water.
Use KÄRCHER descaler sticks for descaling.
Please follow the dosing instructions on the pack-
aging when preparing the descaler.
Pour the descaling solution into the boiler and allow
it to react for approximately 8 hours.
Completely empty the descaling solution after 8
hours. A small amount of the solution will remain in
the boiler. Therefore, you should rinse the boiler
two to three times with cold water to remove any
residues of the descaler.

ing water.
Note
The floor cleaning cloth and the cloth cover have been
pre-washed and can be used immediately for working
with the steam cleaner.
You can wash dirty floorcloths and cloth covers in
the washing machine at 60°C. Do not use a liquid
softener as this would affect the ability of the cloths
to pick up dirt. You may tumble dry the terry cloths.
The microfiber cloths are not suitable for the tum-
ble.
