Safety lock
The safety lock seals the steam boiler from the steam
pressure present. If the pressure regulator is defective
and overpressure occurs in the steam boiler, an pres-
sure relief valve opens in the safety lock and steam
leaks out through the lock.
Prior to restarting the appliance, contact the responsible
KÄRCHER Customer Service.

Initial Start-Up
During initial start-up, a small cloud of smoke may be
emitted from the steam nozzle. The appliance requires
a short run-in time. At the start, the steam output is very
irregular and damp, single droplets of water may even
leak out. The steam volume that leaks out increases
constantly until the maximum quantity has been
reached after approx. 1 minute.
