Descaling the boiler
Note:
If you always use usual commercial distilled water it is
not necessary to descale the boiler.
As limescale builds up on the boiler walls, we recom-
mend to descale the boiler in the following intervals
(RF=reservoir fillings):
Degree of hardness
I soft
II medium
III hard
IV very hard
Note:
Please contact your Conservancy Board or the local
water supply company to inquire about the hardness of
your water.
 Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
 Allow device to cool down.
 Remove the safety lock from the device.
Illustration
 Completely empty the steam boiler to remove exist-
ing water.
ATTENTION
Only use products approved by KÄRCHER to exclude
any damages of the appliance.
 Use KÄRCHER decalcifying agents for descaling.
Please follow the dosing instructions on the pack-
aging when preparing the descaler.
 Pour the descaling solution into the boiler and allow
it to react for approximately 8 hours.
 Completely empty the descaling solution after 8
hours. A small amount of the solution will remain in
the boiler. Therefore, you should rinse the boiler
two to three times with cold water to remove any
residues of the descaler.
