Karcher SC 5-800 C EU - Manual (Page 8)

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 (Ordner no. 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.
 Adjust the temperature of the iron ac-
cording to the garment you want to iron.
Note:Please observe the ironing and
washing instructions in your garment.

As soon as the indicator lamp of the
