Danger
The steam pressure iron must not be used
if it has been dropped, shows visible signs
of damage or if it leaks.
The steam pressure iron is hot and so
is the steam jet! Point out to other people
the possible risk of being scalded or burnt.
Never direct the steam jet at people or an-
imals (risk of scalding). Do not touch any
electrical leads or combustible objects
with the hot steam pressure iron.
몇 Warning
The steam pressure iron and its connect-
ing cable must be kept out of reach of chil-
dren under the age of 8 during the heating
and cooling down periods.
The steam pressure iron must be used
and placed on a stabile surface.
Note: We recommend using the Kärcher iron-
ing table with active steam extraction (2.884-
933.0). This ironing table has been designed
to match your new steam cleaner. It facilitates
and, thus, accelerates the ironing process
substantially. In any case, you should use an
ironing table which is covered with a mesh-
type underlay allowing the steam to pass
through.
Tightly insert the steam plug of the iron
into the appliance connector. The plug
must click into place audibly.
Make sure that there is fresh tap water in
the boiler of the steam cleaner.
Start-up the steam cleaner according to
the description.
Wait until the steam cleaner is ready to
use.
All fabrics can be steam ironed. Delicate im-
prints or fabrics should be ironed on the re-
verse or according to the manufacturer’s
specifications.
Note: For these sensitive textiles, we recom-
mend using the KÄRCHER non-stick ironing
sole BE 6006 (Ordner no. 2.860-142.0).
Adjust the temperature control of the
steam iron within the notched range (•••/
MAX).
As soon as the indicator lamp of the heat-
er of the iron switches off, you can start
ironing.
Note: The sole plate must be hot to pre-
vent 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.
Note: Even if you iron without steam, there
must be water in the boiler.
Adjust the temperature of the iron accord-
ing to the garment you want to iron.
Note:Please observe the ironing and washing
instructions in your garment.
As soon as the indicator lamp of the heat-
er of the iron switches off, you can start
ironing.
Danger
Always disconnect the mains plug and allow
the steam cleaner to cool down before per-
forming any maintenance work.
Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest af-
ter 10 boiler fillings.
Fill the boiler with water and shake it
strongly. This dissolves lime scaling resid-
ing on the boiler bottom.
Empty water out.
