the appliance to sockets with a series
connected RCD adapter.
Unsuitable extension cables can be
hazardous. Only use a splashproof ex-
tension cable with a minimum section of
3x1 mm².
The connection between power cord and
extension cable must not lie in water.
If couplings of the power cord or exten-
sion cable are replaced the splash pro-
tection and the mechanical tightness
must be ensured.
The operator must use the appliance
correctly. When working with the appli-
ance, he must consider the local condi-
tions and pay due care and attention to

Safety Devices

Caution
Safety devices protect the user and must
not be modified or bypassed.
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.
Boiler thermostat
If there is no water in the boiler the temper-
ature in the boiler rises. The boiler thermo-
stat turns off the heating. The heating is
prevented from being turned on again until
the boiler has been filled.
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.
Maintenance lock
The maintenance lock acts as a pressure
control valve at the same time. It 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, the pres-
sure control valve, and steam is emitted
through the maintenance lock to the out-
side.
Please contact your local Kärcher custom-
er service before you put the appliance into
operation again.
