Working With Detergent; Interrupting Operation; Finish Operation; Transport - Kärcher K 5.700 Operating Instructions Manual

Working with detergent

Please use exclusively KÄRCHER deter-
gents and care products to carry out the re-
spective cleaning task, as these were
specifically developed for your appliance.
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.
Notes regarding the detergent: The most
commonly use detergents can be pur-
chased ready to use in their detergent res-
ervoirs with locking lids. This will make the
pesky refilling and filling processes redun-
dant.
 Illustration
Remove the lid from the detergent res-
ervoir and press the detergent reservoir
into the detergent connection with the
opening facing down.
 Illustration
Adjust the suction volume of the deter-
gent solution by means of the dosage
regulator for detergents.
 Use spray lance with pressure regula-
tion (Vario Power).
 Turn the spray lance to "Mix" position.
Note: This will mix the detergent with
the water stream.
Note: If required, the washing brushes can
be used to work with detergent.
