Maintenance And Care - Kärcher SC 2.500 C Mode D'emploi

Floor nozzle
Suited for all washable wall and floor cover-
ings, e.g. stone floors, tiles and PVC floors.
Work slowly on very dirty surfaces to allow
the steam to act on the dirt for a longer pe-
riod of time.
Note:Detergent residue or care emulsions
that are still present on the surfaces to be
cleaned, can lead to smears when steam
cleaned. However, these will disappear
with repeated cleaning procedures.
