The power nozzle can be installed onto the detail nozzle 
as an accessory. 
The power nozzle increases the emission speed of the 
steam. Therefore, it is well-suited for cleaning very 
tough dirt, blowing out corners, grooves, etc.
Illustration 
Attach the power nozzle to the detail nozzle ac-
cording to the round brush.
The round brush can be installed onto the detail nozzle 
as an accessory. This round brush allows to clean large 
rounded surfaces (e.g. sink, shower tray, bathtub, kitch-
en sink).
ATTENTION
Not suitable for cleaning sensitive surfaces.
Illustration 
Attach the round brush to the detail nozzle.
Pull the cloth cover over the hand nozzle. Especially 
well-suited for small washable areas, shower stalls and 
mirrors.
Illustration 
Install hand nozzle on steam gun.
Suited for all washable walls and floor coverings, e.g. 
stone floors, tiles and PVC floors. Work slowly on very 
dirty surfaces to allow the steam to act on the dirt for a 
longer period of time.
Note
Detergent residue or care emulsions that are still pre-
sent 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 extension tubes.
Illustration 
Attach the floor cloth to the floor nozzle.
Tip extension tube far forward until it is perpendic-
ular, 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. 
Illustration 
During work breaks, hook the floor nozzle into the 
parking holder.
Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest after 10 boil-
er fillings.

Open the maintenance lock. For this, place the 
open end of an extension pipe onto the mainte-
nance lock, lock it into the guide and unscrew it.
Fill the boiler with water and swing it strongly. This 
dissolves lime scaling residing on the boiler bottom.

Completely empty the steam boiler to remove exist-
ing water. 
As limes cale builds up on the boiler walls, we recom-
mend to de scale the boiler in the following intervals (RF 
= reservoir fillings):

Use KÄRCHER descaler sticks 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.

The steam cleaner is ready to use.
Note
The floor cleaning cloth and the cloth cover have been 
pre-washed and can be used immediately for working 
with the steam cleaner.
You can wash dirty floorcloths and cloth covers in 
the washing machine at 60°C. Do not use a liquid 
softener as this would affect the ability of the cloths 
to pick up dirt. You may tumble dry the terry cloths. 
The microfiber cloths are not suitable for the tum-
ble.
