Safety elements

This steam cleaner is equipped with sever- al safety devices that provide an all-round protection of the appliance. The most im- portant safety devices are described in the following.

Pressure controller

The pressure controller keeps the boiler pressure during the operation as constant as possible. The heating is turned off if the maximum operating pressure of 4 bar is reached in the boiler and is reactivated in case of a pressure drop in the boiler due to steam tapping.

Low-water thermostat

When the water in the boiler becomes ex- hausted, the temperature of the heating in- creases. The low-water thermostat turns off the heating, and the red low-water indicator lamp lights up. The heating is prevented from being turned on again until the boiler has cooled down or refilled with water.

Safety thermostat

If the boiler thermostat fails and the appli- ance overheats, then the safety thermostat turns off the appliance.

Please contact your local KÄRCHER cus- tomer service to arrange for the reset of the safety thermostat.

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 pressure in the boiler rises, a pres- sure control valve in the safety lock opens, and steam is emitted through the lock to the outside.

Please contact your local KÄRCHER cus- tomer service before you put the appliance into operation again.
