Safety Devices
Caution
Safety devices protect the user and must not be
modified or bypassed.
Pressure controller
The pressure controller keeps the boiler pres-
sure during the operation as constant as possi-
ble. The heating is turned off if the maximum
operating pressure of 4 bar is reached in the boil-
er and is reactivated in case of a pressure drop
in the boiler due to steam tapping.
Safety thermostat
If the boiler thermostat fails and the appliance
overheats, then the safety thermostat turns off
the appliance.
Please contact your local KÄRCHER customer
service to arrange for the reset of the safety ther-
mostat.
Safety lock
The safety lock seals the boiler against the
steam pressure that builds up in the boiler. If the
pressure controller is defect and the steam pres-
sure in the boiler rises, a pressure control valve
in the safety lock opens, and steam is emitted
through the lock to the outside.
Please contact your local KÄRCHER customer
service before you put the appliance into opera-
tion again.
