Pressure controller
The pressure controller keeps the pressure in the steam
boiler as constant as possible during operation. The
heating is switched off when the maximum operating
pressure is reached in the steam boiler and is activated
if there is a pressure drop in the steam boiler as a result
of a steam removal.

The safety thermostat prevents the device from over-
heating. If the pressure regulator and the boiler thermo-
stat fail and the unit overheats, the safety thermostat
switches the unit off. Before resetting of the safety ther-
mostat, contact the responsible KÄRCHER Customer
Service.
The boiler thermostat switches off the heating in the
event of a fault; for example, if there is no water in the
steam boiler and the temperature in the steam boiler ris-
es.
As soon as you refill the water, the device is ready for
use again.
The maintenance lock seals the steam boiler from the
steam pressure present. The maintenance cap is also a
pressure relief valve. If the pressure regulator is defec-
tive and the steam pressure in the steam boiler rises,
the pressure relief valve opens and steam is escapes
through the lock.
Prior to restarting the device, contact the responsible
KÄRCHER Customer Service.
