Steam ironing
We recommend the use of the Kärcher iron-
ing table with active steam extraction. This
ironing table has been especially designed to
match your new unit. 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.
All fabrics can be steam ironed. Adjust
the temperature regulator (K4) of the
steam iron within the notched range (•••/
MAX). Delicate imprints or fabrics should
be ironed on the reverse or according to
the manufacturer's specifications. For
this, you can use our anti-stick sole plate
(see optional accessories overview).
Once the indicator light on the steam iron
(K2) has gone out, the steam iron is rea-
dy for use. The sole plate must be hot to
prevent the steam from condensing on
the sole plate and dripping onto the gar-
ment to be ironed.
Press the switch (K3) on the iron. Steam
flows out on the sole plate.
– Press the switch to the front: A steam
burst is emitted while the switch is being
pressed.
– Press the switch to the back: The switch
locks and steam is continuously emitted.
To release, press the switch to the front.
Direct the first burst of steam at a sepa-
rate piece of cloth until the steam is emit-
ted evenly.
You can hold the iron in an upright position
to apply steam to curtains, dresses, etc.

ding to the garment you want to iron.

Wallpaper remover (optional)
Special accessory, see page 26 for the order
number.
You can use the wallpaper remover with the
steam cleaner to remove paper wallpapers.
Place the entire surface of the wallpaper
remover along the edge of a strip of wall-
paper. Switch on the steam supply (C4)
and allow the steam to act on the wallpa-
per until it is completely soaked (approxi-
mately 10 seconds).
Move the wallpaper remover to the next
piece of wallpaper you want to remove.
Hold the steam switch (C4) pressed whi-
le you move the tool. Lift the soaked pie-
ce of wallpaper using a flat trowel, and
pull it off the wall. Move the wallpaper re-
mover from strip to strip, and pull the
wallpaper off in strips.
In case of woodchip wallpaper that has
been painted several times, the steam
