Pressure controller
The pressure controller keeps the boiler pres-
sure during the operation as constant as possi-
ble. The heating is turned off if the maximum
operating pressure of 4 bar is reached in the boil-
er and is reactivated in case of a pressure drop
in the boiler due to steam tapping.
Safety thermostat
The safety thermostat turns off the appliance if
the boiler thermostat and the pressure controller
fails and the appliance overheats in case of a
malfunction. Please contact your local KÄRCH-
ER 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 pres-
sure 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 opera-
tion again.
