Danger
 The steam pressure iron must not be
used if it has been dropped, shows vis-
ible signs of damage or if it leaks.
 The steam pressure iron is hot and
so is the steam jet! Point out to other
people the possible risk of being scald-
ed or burnt. Never direct the steam jet at
people or animals (risk of scalding). Do
not touch any electrical leads or com-
bustible objects with the hot steam
pressure iron.

Warning
 The steam pressure iron and its con-
necting cable must be kept out of reach
of children under the age of 8 during the
heating and cooling down periods.
 The steam pressure iron must be used
and placed on a stabile surface.
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.
Note: The steam level 5 (VapoHydro func-
tion) is blocked while the steam pressure
iron is plugged in to prevent the laundry to
be ironed from getting wet.

Make sure that there is fresh tap water
in the boiler of the steam cleaner.
 Tightly insert the steam plug of the iron
into the appliance connector. The plug
must click into place audibly.
Display - iron will light up green perma-
nently.
 Start-up the steam cleaner according to
the description.
Recommended steam levels:
 Wait until the steam cleaner is ready to
use.
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 heater display 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.
Note: Even if you iron without steam, there
must be water in the boiler.

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 heater display of the iron
switches off, you can start ironing.
