Danger
Always disconnect the mains plug and al-
low the steam cleaner to cool down before
performing any maintenance work.
As limescale builds up in the appliance, we
recommend to descale the appliance in the
following intervals (TF=tank fillings):
Note: If you always use usual commercial
distilled water it is not necessary to descale
the boiler.
Note: Please contact your Conservancy
Board or the local water supply company to
inquire about the hardness of your water.
 Disconnect the mains plug from the
socket.
 Allow the steam cleaner to cool down.
 Remove the nozzle insert from steam
nozzle. To do this, rotate the nozzle in-
sert counter-clockwise with a coin and
pull the nozzle insert out.

Use the KÄRCHER decalcifier sticks
(order no. 6.295-206) to decalcify the
water. Please follow the dosing instruc-
tions on the packaging while using the
decalcifying solution.
Caution
Use caution when filling and emptying the
steam cleaner. The descaling solution can
have an aggressive effect on delicate sur-
faces.

Fill the decalcification solution into the
water tank.
 Close the water tank with the tank lid.
 Fasten the water tank to the casing.
 Press the decalcification pump (A5) for
approx. one minute in regular pump
movements until the decalcification so-
lution escapes from the open steam

with clear water.
 Allow the decalcification solution to take
effect in the appliance for 8 hours.
