Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest
after 10 boiler fillings.
 Fill the boiler with water and shake it
strongly. This dissolves lime scaling re-
siding on the boiler bottom.
 Empty water out.
Note:
If you always use usual commercial distilled
water it is not necessary to descale the boil-
er.
As limescale builds up on the boiler walls,
we recommend to descale the boiler in the
following intervals (RF=reservoir fillings):
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.

ATTENTION
Only use products approved by KÄRCHER
to exclude any damages of the appliance.
 Use the KÄRCHER decalcifier sticks
(order no. 6.295-206) to decalcify the
water. Please follow the dosing instruc-
tions on the packaging while using the
decalcifying solution.
 Pour the descaling solution into the boil-
er and allow it to react for approximately
8 hours.
 Completely empty the descaling solu-
tion after 8 hours. A small amount of the
solution will remain in the boiler. There-
fore, you should rinse the boiler two to
three times with cold water to remove
any residues of the descaler.

Note:
The floorcloth and the terry cloth cover
have been pre-washed and can be used
immediately for working with the steam
cleaner.
 You can wash dirty floorcloths and terry
cloth covers in the washing machine at
60°C. Do not use a liquid softener as
this would affect the ability of the cloths
to pick up dirt. You may tumble dry the
cloths.
