Mixing a detergent solution
Attention: Avoid any damage to health or property
by observing all the information provided with the
cleaning agents that are to be used.
■ Removal of mites:
To eliminate mites we recommend our
specially developed cleaning agent Mitex
RM 765. Depending on the textile type, tests
show that mites are removed for 6 - 9
months.
■ For cleaning please use only the original
Kärcher cleaning agent RM 519. This is
suitable for all textile cleaning processes.

2 the RM 519 measuring beaker) in 5 litres of
water and pour this mixture into the detergent
reservoir.

■ Fit detergent reservoir
■ Mount motor housing onto dirt box, and lock
in place
■ Plug into mains socket
■ Switch on suction turbine

Attention: If the detergent reservoir is empty, switch
off the spray pump (pump could become damaged). If
you are not working with the pump, switch this off at
