Note
Detergent residue or care emulsions that
are still present on the surface to be
cleaned can lead to streaks during steam
cleaning. However, these will disappear
with repeated cleaning procedures.
Illustration
 Connect the extension tubes with the
steam gun.
 Connect the floor nozzle to the exten-
sion tubes.
Illustration
 Attach the floor cloth to the floor nozzle.
Tip extension tube far forward until it is
–
perpendicular, thereby the side flaps of
the floor nozzle fold up down.
Place the floor nozzle on top of the floor
–
cloth, allow the side flaps to slide into
the two tabs of the floor cloth.
Tip the extension tube back again,
–
thereby the side flaps lock and the cloth
firmly at the floor nozzle.
Parking the floor nozzle
Illustration
 During work breaks, hook the floor noz-
zle into the parking holder.
Steam pressure iron
 Tightly insert the steam plug of the iron
into the appliance connector. The plug
must click into place audibly.
 Make sure that there is fresh tap water
in the boiler of the steam cleaner.
 Start-up the steam cleaner according to
the description.
 Wait until the steam cleaner is ready to
use.
Note
We recommend using 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 sub-
stantially. In any case, you should use an
ironing table which is covered with a mesh-
type underlay allowing the steam to pass
through.
Steam ironing
All fabrics can be steam ironed. Delicate
imprints or fabrics should be ironed on the
reverse or according to the manufacturer's
specifications.
Note
For these sensitive textiles, we recommend
using the KÄRCHER non-stick ironing sole
BE 6006.
 Adjust the temperature control of the
steam iron within the notched range
(•••/MAX).
 As soon as the indicator lamp of the
heater of the iron switches off, you can
start ironing.
Note
The sole plate must be hot to prevent the
steam from condensing on the sole plate
and dripping onto the garment to be irond-
ed.
 Use the top or bottom steam switch.
Steaming at intervals: Press the
–
steam switch. Steam will be emitted
while the switch is pressed.
Continuous steaming: Pull the latch
–
for the steam switch toward the rear un-
til it locks in. Steam will escape continu-
ously. To unlock, push the lock forward.
 Direct the first burst of steam at the start
of the ironing process or after ironing
breaks at a separate piece of cloth until
the steam is emitted evenly.
 You can hold the iron in an upright posi-
tion to apply steam to curtains, dresses,
etc.
