Operation
Note: We recommend using the Kärcher
ironing table with active steam extraction
(2.884-933.0). This ironing table has been
designed to match your new steam clean-
er. It facilitates and, thus, accelerates the
ironing process substantially. In any case,
you should use an ironing table which is
covered with a mesh-type underlay allow-
ing the steam to pass through.
Preparing the Appliance
Open the cover of the appliance socket
of the steam cleaner.
Tightly insert the steam plug of the iron
into the appliance connector. The plug
must click into place audibly.
To disconnect: Press the cover of the
appliance connector down and discon-
nect the steam plug from the appliance
connector.
Start-up the steam cleaner according to
the description.
Wait until the steam cleaner is ready to
use.
Steam ironing
All fabrics can be steam ironed. Delicate
imprints or fabrics should be ironed on the
reverse or according to the manufacturer's
specifications.
Note:For these sensitive textiles, we rec-
ommend using the KÄRCHER non-stick
ironing sole BE 6006 (Bestell-Nr. 2.860-
142.0).
Adjust the temperature control of the
steam iron within the notched range
(•••/MAX).
As soon as the indicator lamp of the
heater of the iron switches off, you can
start ironing.
Note: The sole plate must be hot to pre-
vent the steam from condensing on the
sole plate and dripping onto the gar-
ment to be ironed.
Use the top or bottom steam switch.
Steaming at intervals: Press the
–
steam switch. Steam will be emitted
while the switch is pressed.
Continuous steaming: Pull the latch
–
for the steam switch toward the rear un-
til it locks in. Steam will escape continu-
ously. To unlock, push the lock forward.
Direct the first burst of steam at the start
of the ironing process or after ironing
breaks at a separate piece of cloth until
the steam is emitted evenly.
You can hold the iron in an upright posi-
tion to apply steam to curtains, dresses,
etc.

cording to the garment you want to iron.
