• Work on heavily soiled areas at a slower
speed so that the steam has more time to
act on the dirt.
• If there are traces of detergent or polish on
the surface that you are cleaning (e.g. wax,
liquid polish, etc.), this could result in st-
reaks. As a rule these streaks disappear af-
ter the steam cleaner has been used sever-
al times.
Typical applications:
– all washable wall and floor coverings, e.g.
stone floors, tiles and PVC floors.
5.4 Hand nozzle (F1)
Pull the terry-towelling slip-on (F2) over the
hand nozzle (F1).
Typical applications:
– smaller, washable areas, such as kitchen
surfaces made from plastic, tiled walls
– windows, mirrors
– furniture fabrics
– vehicle interiors, windscreens
– bath-tubs
5.5 Household iron (K1)
• Firmly insert the modular accessory plug on
the iron connecting cable (K5) into the sok-
ket (A1) above the handle on the main unit.
Both lugs on the plug must lock into the co-
ver for the main unit socket (A1).
Steam-ironing:
• We recommend that you use the Kärcher
Ironing Board with active steam extraction.
The ironing board has been designed to
match your new cleaner and it makes iron-
ing considerably easier and faster to do. In
any case, you should use an ironing board
which is covered with a mesh-type underlay
that enables steam to pass through.
• The temperature control (K4) should be set
to at least ••• (steam mode) for ironing all
types of material. The steam that is then di-
scharged prevents the material from beco-
ming too hot.
• The iron is ready for use as soon as the in-
dicator lamp (K3) goes out. The face of the
iron must be hot so that the steam does not
condense to water and drip onto the item
being ironed.
5. How to use the accessories
• When you press the switch on the iron,
steam is discharged out of holes in the face
of the iron. To set the iron so that steam is
discharged continuously, push the switch
towards the rear until it locks in place. If you
briefly push the switch forwards, a shot of
steam is discharged from the iron.
• Begin by directing the steam onto a piece of
cloth until there is regular flow of steam out
of the iron.
• The iron can be held upright to apply steam
to curtains, dresses, etc.
Dry-ironing:
• If you wish to iron without using steam,
switch the heater switch to OFF. The steam
supply switch must remain ON.
• Set the temperature control (K4) according
to the type of fabric that you are going to
iron. The symbols on the control have the
following meanings:
– Synthetic fibres: •
– Wool:
– Linen:
5.6 Window nozzle
The window nozzle is available as a
special accessory - see page 12
• Before you clean a glass surface with the
window nozzle for the first time, go over it
with the hand nozzle (F1) and terry-towelling
slip-on (F2) to remove any traces of grease.
• Apply steam evenly to the glass surface from
a distance of approx. 20 cm. When you have
done this, push the locking mechanism on
the steam gun towards the rear (child lock)
(C4) so that the steam switch (C3) cannot be
pressed inadvertently. Squeegee the glass
surface in straight lines from top to bottom.
Wipe the rubber lip and the bottom edge of
the window dry after each pass.
Typical applications:
– windows
– mirrors
– other glass surfaces
