Danger
The use of wrong detergents or chemicals
can compromise the safety of the appli-
ance.
Please use exclusively KÄRCHER deter-
gents and care products to carry out the re-
spective cleaning task, as these were spe-
cifically developed for your appliance. The
use of other detergents and care products
may lead to premature wear and can inval-
idate your warranty claims. Please obtain
information at your local dealer or request
information directly from KÄRCHER.
ƽ
Danger
The improper use of detergents can cause
severe injuries or toxication.
When using detergents, the material data
safety sheet issued by the detergent manu-
facturer must be adhered to, especially the
instructions regarding personal protective
equipment.
Notes regarding the detergent: The most
commonly used KÄRCHER detergents can
be purchased ready to use in their Plug 'n'
Clean detergent bottles with locking lids.
This will make the pesky refilling and filling
processes redundant.

Remove the lid from the Plug 'n' Clean
detergent bottle and press the deter-
gent bottle into the detergent connec-
tion with the opening facing down.

the water stream.
Optional

Fill the detergent solution in the deter-
gent tank of the foam nozzle (observe
dosage instructions on the packaging of
the detergent).

dry surface and allow it to react, but not
to dry.

pressure jet.
