Steam-ironing
– We recommend that you use the Kärcher Ironing
Board with active steam extraction. The ironing
board has been designed to match your new
cleaner and it makes ironing considerably easier
and faster to do. In any case, you should use an
ironing board which is covered with a mesh-type
underlay that enables steam to pass through.
– The temperature control should be set to at least
• • • (steam mode) for ironing all types of material.
The steam that is then discharged prevents the
material from becoming too hot.
– The iron is ready for use as soon as the indicator
lamp goes out. The face of the iron must be hot
so that the steam does not condense to water
and drip onto the item being ironed.
– When you press the switch on the iron, steam is
discharged out of holes in the face of the iron.
To set the iron so that steam is discharged
continuously, push the switch towards the rear until
it locks in place. If you briefly push the switch for-
wards, a shot of steam is discharged from the iron.
– Begin by directing the steam onto a piece of cloth
until there is regular flow of steam out of the iron.
– Begin by directing the steam onto a piece of cloth
until water no longer comes out of the iron.
– Turn the steam volume control (9) on the main
unit to obtain the desired amount of steam.
– For steam-ironing, the VAPOHYDRO regulation
must be turned with the rotary knob (7)
completely up to "–" (clockwise).
– You can hold the iron vertically for steaming
curtains, clothes, etc.
• • • • •
Dry-ironing
– If you wish to iron without using steam, switch the
steam supply switch (15) on the main unit to ON,
and the heater switch (14) to OFF.
– Set the temperature control according to the type
of fabric that you are going to iron. The symbols
on the control have the following meanings:
–
Synthetic fibres: •
