Operation with detergent

Warning
Unsuitable detergents can cause damage
to the appliance and to the object to be
cleaned. Use only those detergents that
have been approved by Kärcher. Observe
the dosage and other instructions provided
with these detergents. For considerate
treatment of the environment use detergent
economically.
Follow the safety instructions for using de-
tergents.
Kärcher detergents ensure smooth func-
tioning. Please consult us or ask for our cat-
alogue or our detergent information sheets.
 Take out detergent suck hose.
 Adjust the suction volume of the deter-
gent solution at the detergent filter.
 Suspend end of suction hose in a con-
tainer filled with detergent.
 Set nozzle to "CHEM".
Recommended cleaning method
 Spray the detergent sparingly on the
dry surface and allow it to react, but not
to dry.
 Spray off loosened dirt with the high-
pressure ray.
 Set the suction flow on the detergent fil-
ter to the maximum quantity after oper-
ation.
 Start the appliance and rinse for one
minute.

Interrupting operation

 Release the lever of the hand-spray
gun; the device will switch off.
Note:
When switching off the appliance, the water
pressure is reduced by approx. 70%. This
reduces the actuating force of the hand
spray gun and the service life of the appli-
ance is increased.
 Release again the lever of the hand-
spray gun; the device will switch on
again.
