Floor nozzle (H1)

Fields of application:

– all washable wall and floor coverings, e.g.:

stone floors, tiles, and PVC floors.

• Attach the floorcloth (H3) to the floor nozzle

(H1). Fold up the floorcloth lengthways, and
place the floor nozzle on the cloth. Pull the
jutting out ends of the floorcloths one after the
other under the retaining clips (H2) (see
Figure 11).

Figure 11:  Attaching the floorcloth

• To remove the cloth, press the retaining clips

(H2), and pull out the cloth.

• Turn and exchange the floorcloth in regular

intervals. Doing so, you improve the
absorption of dirt.

• Work slowly on very dirty surfaces to allow the

steam to act on the dirt for a longer period of
time.

• If there are residues of detergents or floor-

cleaningproducts (e.g. wax, liquid polish) on
the surface to be cleaned, streaks may form
during the cleaning. These streaks normally
disappear after a repeated use of the steam
cleaner.

Steam iron (K1)

The steam iron is available as a special
accessory (see page 27 for the order number).

• Firmly insert the modular accessory plug (C6)

into the appliance connector (A1) of the steam
iron. Both pins of the modular accessory plug
must lock into the cover of the appliance
connector.

Steam ironing

We recommend to use 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 process substantially. In any case, you
should use an ironing table which is covered with
a mesh-type underlay allowing the steam to
pass through.
• All fabrics can be steam ironed. Adjust the

temperature control of the steam iron within
the notched range. Iron fabrics, such as cotton
or linen, at position “•••/MAX”.
Delicate imprints or fabrics should be ironed
on the reverse or according to the
manufacturer’s specifications. You can also
use our anti-stick sole plate (optional
accessory).

• Once the indicator lamp on the steam iron (K2)

has gone out, the steam iron is ready for use.
The sole plate must be hot to prevent the
steam from condensing on the sole plate and
dripping onto the garment to be ironed.

• If you actuate the switch (K3) on the steam

iron, steam is emitted on the sole plate. To set
the iron to a continuous steam emission, press
the switch until it locks into place.

• Direct the first burst of steam at a separate

piece of cloth until the steam is emitted evenly.

• Set the steam quantity controller (B1) on the

appliance to the desired quantity of steam.

• You can hold the iron in an upright position to

apply steam to curtains, dresses, etc.

Dry ironing

• Use the temperature controller (K4) to set the

desired temperature according to the type of
fabric. The symbols on the controller have the
following meanings:

– Man-made fibre   •
– Wool:

 ••

– Linen:
