The LED charging indicator on the handle will show the charging status. A full charge takes approximately 4 hours and provides up to 45 minutes of operation, covering up to 175 m².

3. Filling the Fresh Water Tank:

   Remove the fresh water tank (400 ml capacity) from the appliance. Fill it with clean tap water, and if desired, add a small amount of Kärcher Floor Cleaner Universal RM 536 (30 ml bottle included). Do not overfill. Reinsert the tank securely.

   Ensure the microfiber rollers are clean and properly attached to the roller heads. The four counter-rotating rollers are designed for effective dirt absorption.

Operating Instructions

1. Starting the Appliance:

   Press the ON/OFF button on the handle to start the FC 7 Cordless. The rollers will begin to rotate and moisten.

2. Selecting Cleaning Mode:

   The appliance offers two cleaning modes and a boost function. Select the appropriate mode based on the floor type and degree of dirt. The modes adjust water quantity and rotation speed. For heavily soiled areas, activate the boost function.
