5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the boiler
Note: If you always use demineralised or distilled
water, it will not be necessary to clean the boiler.
Rinsing out the boiler:
Rinse out the steam generator at most after eve-
ry 5th fill-up if the hardness of water proves to be
more than 1.8mmol/l. You can enquire about the
hardness ofwater in your area from your water
supply company or municipal public works.
Fill the boiler with water and shake the cleaner
vigorously. This will loosen any scale that has
settled at the bottom of the boiler. Tilt the clea-
ner towards the corner with the funnel inlet (A3)
and pour out the water (see Fig. 4).

Descaling the boiler:
As limescale is deposited in the steam genera-
tor, we recommend descaling the tank at the
following intervals.
Remove lime-scale deposits after the given
number of tank fillings (TF).

Table 1: Descaling the boiler
Unplug the cleaner from the mains electricity
supply before you descale the boiler.
Make sure that all traces of water are drained
from the boiler (see Fig. 4).
We recommend you use Kärcher Biological De-
calcifier RM 511 to descale the boiler. This bio-
logical decalcifying agent is based on citric acid
and is therefore entirely biologically degrada-
ble.
In order to avoid damage to the cleaner, only
use products that have been approved by
Kärcher.
Fully dissolve the contents of one bag of
Kärcher Biological Decalcifier RM 511 in one
litre of warm water.
Pour this solution into the boiler and leave it to
react for approx. 8 hours.
Do not screw the safety cap (A2) onto the clea-
ner while you are descaling the boiler. Do not
use the cleaner if there is any descaling liquid
left inside the boiler.
After the period of soaking, pour the descaling
solution out of the boiler. A small amount will
remain inside, therefore you should flush the
boiler out with cold water two or three times in
order to remove all traces of the decalcifying
agent.
The steam cleaner is now ready for use again.
5.2 Care of accessories
Allow all accessories to dry out thoroughly be-
fore you store them for use another time.
Do not stand the floor nozzle (G1) and circular
brush (E2) on their bristles while they are coo-
ling down and drying out, otherwise they could
become deformed.
Dirty floor cloths can be placed in a washing ma-
chine at 60 °C and dried in a tumble dryer. Do not
use a liquid softener as this would impair the abi-
lity of the cloths to pick up dirt.
5.3 What to do if a problem occurs
If a problem occurs with your steam cleaner,
contact your local Kärcher service agent (see
enclosed address list).
