3.1. General Steam Cleaning

Attach the desired accessory (e.g., hand nozzle with microfibre cover, spot jet nozzle, or round brush) to the steam gun. Direct the steam towards the surface to be cleaned.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Kärcher steam cleaner.

4.1. Descaling

Over time, mineral deposits from water can build up inside the steam cleaner. Use the provided descaler powder as directed in the full instruction manual to remove these deposits. Regular descaling prevents blockages and maintains steam output.

4.2. Cleaning Accessories

After each use, clean the microfibre cloths and covers. They can typically be machine washed. Rinse nozzles and brushes under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Ensure all accessories are dry before storage.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Kärcher steam cleaner, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• No Steam Output: Check if the device is properly plugged in and powered on. Ensure the water tank is filled and the device has had sufficient time to heat up.
• Low Steam Pressure: This can be caused by mineral buildup. Perform a descaling procedure as described in the maintenance section.
• Water Leaking: Ensure all attachments are securely fastened. Check for any cracks or damage to the water tank or hoses.
