Safety elements
This steam cleaner is equipped with several safety devices that provide an all-round protection of the appliance. The most important safety devices are described in the following.
Pressure controller
The pressure controller keeps the boiler pressure during the operation as constant as possible. The heating is turned off if the maximum operating pressure of 4 bar is reached in the boiler and is reactivated in case of a pressure drop in the boiler due to steam tapping.
Low-water thermostat
When the water in the boiler becomes exhausted, the temperature of the heating increases. The low-water thermostat turns off the heating, and the red low-water indicator lamp lights up. The heating is prevented from being turned on again until the boiler has cooled down or refilled with water.
Safety thermostat
If the boiler thermostat fails and the appliance overheats, then the safety thermostat turns off the appliance.
Please contact your local KÄRCHER customer service to arrange for the reset of the safety thermostat.
Safety lock
The safety lock seals the boiler against the steam pressure that builds up in the boiler. If the pressure controller is defect and the steam pressure in the boiler rises, a pressure control valve in the safety lock opens, and steam is emitted through the lock to the outside.
Please contact your local KÄRCHER customer service before you put the appliance into operation again.
