Kärcher SC 2 *EU (1.512-000) Manual Do Utilizador

Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest after 10 boil-
er fillings.


Fill the boiler with water and swing it strongly. This 
dissolves lime scaling residing on the boiler bottom. 



Empty water out.

Note
In case of continuous use of commercially available dis-
tilled water, no descaling of the boiler is necessary.
As limescale builds up on the boiler walls, we recom-
mend to descale the boiler in the following intervals 
(RF=reservoir fillings):

Note
The hardness of the tap water can be inquired at your 
water management office or the municipal utilities.


Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.



Allow device to cool down.

ing water. 



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.

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.
