Cylinder steam cleaner Kärcher SC 5 DELUXE SIGNATURE LINE — 1.3 L, 2250 W, 4 bar, max 150 °C, black/white

The Kärcher SC 5 DELUXE SIGNATURE LINE is a cylinder steam cleaner designed for intensive cleaning of hard surfaces. With a 1.3 L removable water tank and 2250 W heating power, the unit reaches steam temperatures up to 150 °C and generates up to 4 bar of steam pressure after a warm-up of approximately 180 seconds. The device operates on 220–240 V AC and includes a round cleaning brush and a hand nozzle, offering adjustable steam output and a VapoHydro function to combine steam with hot water for enhanced cleaning performance.

Advantages

The removable, permanently refillable 1.3 L tank allows continuous operation without lengthy interruptions for refilling. Adjustable steam output and a high maximum temperature deliver effective removal of dirt and grime from sealed floors, tiles, grouts and other hard surfaces. The VapoHydro function provides additional wet cleaning power by adding hot water to the steam for tougher deposits. A real-time LED display indicates readiness and operating status, while the integrated accessory compartment keeps nozzles and brushes organised within the device.

• Sanitising bathroom and kitchen surfaces, including grout and taps
• Cleaning ovens, cooktops and other heavily soiled cooking surfaces

How to use

Fill the removable 1.3 L water tank with clean tap water and reinsert it securely. Plug the steam cleaner into a 220–240 V outlet and switch the device on; the LED display will show heating progress. After approximately 180 seconds, once the indicator signals readiness, select the appropriate steam output setting for the surface and degree of soiling. For stubborn dirt, engage the VapoHydro function to add hot water to the steam. Attach the round brush or hand nozzle as required and proceed from less to more sensitive areas, keeping the nozzle moving and maintaining a safe distance from heat-sensitive materials.

Usage recommendations

Use distilled or demineralised water in areas with hard water to reduce limescale formation and follow the manufacturer's maintenance instructions for descaling. Test steam cleaning on a small, inconspicuous area before use on delicate or unsealed surfaces. Allow treated surfaces to cool and ventilate areas after cleaning; do not allow children or pets near the device during operation.
