It may be difficult to remove the safety cap from the Steam Cleaner if the machine has not been de-pressurised after use, or if there is a build-up of limescale in the steam cap. Please see How do I depressurize my Steam Cleaner (Next Question) for further information.

When in use, a pressure control valve inside the safety cap locks in place, restricting the removal of the cap. This is a safety feature of the machine, preventing the escape of steam.

The safety lock cannot be opened as long as a slight pressure remains in the boiler.

After use, the following steps should be followed:

Step 1. Turn off the machine and disconnect the mains plug from the socket.

Step 2. Push the steam switch until steam discharge stops. The boiler of the appliance is now depressurized.

Step 3. Remove the cap and store separately from the machine.

*Please note that a residual amount of steam may be emitted when you open the safety lock. Be careful when opening the safety lock, if the machine has been in continuous use for a long time the safety cap may be hot.

A build-up of limescale can reduce the volume of steam being produced. For further information please see How to de-scale your Steam Cleaner (Next Question).

Instructions for De-scaling your Kärcher Steam Cleaner:

Step 1. Purchase a Kärcher de-scaling agent. Part Number 6.295-206.0 - RM descaler sticks 9x13 g.

Step 2. Dissolve the descaling stick into 1 litre of warm water.

Step 3. Pour the solution into the boiler and allow it to react for approximately 8 hours. Do not screw the safety lock onto the appliance while you are descaling.

Step 4. Create a separate solution for the steam cap.

Step 5. Clean the threads on the cap with a toothbrush and rub Vaseline around once clean.

Step 6. Once the descaling is completed, empty the solution from the machine. A small amount of solution will remain inside the boiler. Rinse the boiler 2 or 3 times with clean, cold water to remove any residues of the descaler.

You can use the Steam Cleaner to refresh the surface layer of your carpets or to spot clean, however the steam cleaner is not a deep carpet cleaner.

For the SC1 or SC2 Steamers, the water tank may be over full. Ensure that the tank is only 3/4 full. Ensure that the machine has reach operating pressure, if not, wait until the light indicates that the machine is ready. Ensure that the controller is set to steam mode.

If you are experiencing this problem straight after using the machine:

Cause: The boiler is still under pressure.

Remedy:

The pressure must be released from within the machine.
1. Switch off the heater and then switch on the steam feed (on max).
2. Operate the switch on the handle until the cap can be opened.
3. If the steam cap still cannot be opened, please follow the instructions below.

If you are experiencing this problem after the machine has been stored:

Cause: The boiler is still under pressure. If the cap is spinning, it means that the safety valve is open which may prevent the cap from being removed. There are 2 star wheels inside the cap which when locked, prevent the cap from being opened.

Remedy:

The pressure must be released from within the machine.

If the cap is spinning:

Take a piece of wood and place on top of the steam cap. Gently tap the wood until it goes down and stops spinning.
Spray WD40 around the cap and leave for 5 minutes.
Try to remove the cap by gently using pliers. This should allow you to remove the cap.

If the cap is not spinning:

1. You will need to break the plastic casing off of the cap.
2. Using pliers take hold of the metal inside and unscrew the cap.
The cap will then need to be replaced. Please contact the customer service team on +65 6897 1811

The cap should be stored separately from the machine to prevent this from happening in future.

If this is not successful, please contact the Home & Garden customer service team on +65 6897 1811
