Working with detergent
Please use exclusively KÄRCHER deter-

The use of other detergents and care prod-
ucts may lead to premature wear and can
invalidate your warranty claims. Please ob-
tain information at your local dealer or re-
quest information directly from KÄRCHER.

required out of the housing.

in a container filled with detergent.
