Safety devices

Safety devices protect the user and may not be disabled
or functionally circumvented.
Pressure regulator
The pressure regulator keeps the boiler pressure as
constant as possible during operation. The heating is
switched off when the maximum operating pressure in
the boiler has been reached and switched on again
when the pressure in the boiler drops due to steam re-
moval.
Water shortage thermostat
The heating temperature rises when the water in the
boiler runs out. The water shortage thermostat switches
the heating off and the "Steam boiler water shortage" in-
dicator light lights up red. The heating cannot be
switched on again until the boiler has cooled down or is
refilled.
● If the water shortage thermostat fails and the device
overheats, the safety thermostat switches the de-
vice off.
● Before resetting of the safety thermostat, contact
the responsible KÄRCHER Customer Service.
● The safety lock seals the steam boiler against the
steam pressure present. If the pressure regulator is
defective and overpressure occurs in the steam boil-
er, an pressure relief valve opens in the safety lock
and steam escapes through the lock.
● Before re-commissioning the device, contact the re-
sponsible KÄRCHER Customer Service.
