Adjust the temperature control of the steam
iron within the notched range (•••/MAX).
As soon as the indicator lamp of the heater
of the iron switches off, you can start ironing.
Note: The sole plate must be hot to prevent
the steam from condensing on the sole plate
and dripping onto the garment to be ironed.
Use the top or bottom steam switch.
–
Steaming at intervals: Press the steam
switch. Steam will be emitted while the
switch is pressed.
–
Continuous steaming: Pull the latch for the
steam switch toward the rear until it locks in.
Steam will escape continuously. To unlock,
push the lock forward.
Direct the first burst of steam at the start of
the ironing process or after ironing breaks at
a separate piece of cloth until the steam is
emitted evenly.
You can hold the iron in an upright position
to apply steam to curtains, dresses, etc.
Dry ironing
Note:Even if you iron without steam, there must
be water in the boiler.

Maintenance and care
Danger
Always disconnect the mains plug and allow the
steam cleaner to cool down before performing
any maintenance work.
Rinsing the boiler
Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest after
5 boiler fillings.
Fill the boiler with water and shake it strong-
ly. This dissolves lime scaling residing on the
boiler bottom.
Empty water out.
Descaling the boiler
Note: If you always use usual commercial distilled
water it is not necessary to descale the boiler.
As limescale builds up on the boiler walls, we
recommend to descale the boiler in the following
intervals (RF=reservoir fillings):
Degree of hardness
I
soft
II
medium
III hard
IV very hard
Note: Please contact your Conservancy Board
or the local water supply company to inquire
about the hardness of your water.
Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
Allow device to cool down.
Remove the safety cap from the device.
Completely empty the steam boiler to re-
move existing water (see Fig.
Warning
Only use products approved by KÄRCHER to
exclude any damages of the appliance.
User the KÄRCHER decalcifier sticks (order
no. 6.295-047) to decalcify the water. Please
follow the dosing instructions on the packag-
ing while using the decalcifying solution.
Caution
Use caution when filling and emptying the steam
cleaner. The descaling solution can have an ag-
gressive effect on delicate surfaces.
Pour the descaling solution into the boiler
and allow it to react for approximately 8
hours.
Warning
Do not screw the safety lock on the appliance
during the decalcifying.
Do not use the steam cleaner as long as there is
decalcifying agent in the boiler.
Completely empty the descaling solution af-
ter 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.
Completely empty the steam boiler to re-
move existing water (see Fig.
