Troubleshooting - Kärcher SC 1475 Mode D'emploi

User the KÄRCHER decalcifier sticks
(order no. 6.295-206) for decalcifying the
water. Please follow the dosing instruc-
tions on the packaging while using the
decalcifying solution.
Caution
Use caution when filling and emptying the
steam cleaner. The descaling solution can have
an aggressive effect on delicate surfaces.
Pour the descaling solution into the boi-
ler and allow it to react for approximately
8 hours.
WARNING
Do not screw the steam boiler seal (A7) on
the appliance during the descaling. Do not
use the steam cleaner as long as there is
descaling agent in the boiler.
Empty the descaling solution after 8
hours. A small amount of the solution will
remain in the boiler. Therefore, you
should rinse the boiler two to three times
with cold water to remove any residue of
the descaler.
Close the steam boiler seal (A7) using
the descaling key (A4).
After the refilling with fresh water (see
page 21, "Filling the Water Reservoir")
the steam cleaner is ready for use again.
Care of the Accessories
Allow the accessory parts to dry completely
before storing them.
Do not place the floor nozzle (H1), the
manual nozzle (E1), and the round brush
(D3) onto the bristles during the cooling
and drying process to avoid a deformati-
on of the bristles.
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.
