3. Fasten the floor cleaning cloth to the floor nozzle.

a Place the floor cleaning cloth with the hook and 

loop strips pointing upwards on the floor.

b Place the floor nozzle onto the floor cleaning 

cloth, applying slight pressure.

Illustration L

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

1. Place one foot on the bottom corner of the floor 

cleaning cloth and lift the floor nozzle up.

Illustration L
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.

Illustration L

2. Using a little force, allow the floor nozzle to slide into 

the carpet glider and engage there.

Illustration M

3. Start cleaning the carpet.

Removing the carpet glider from the floor nozzle

The carpet glider can heat up during the steaming pro-
cess.

or using open sandals.
Only operate or remove the carpet glider using suitable 
footwear.

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).

Steaming at intervals

: Press the “steam” switch. 

Steam flows out as long as the switch is pressed.
