FAQS

Why will my FC 5 Cordless not power on?

■

1) The battery could be empty: to remedy

this, please plug the charging cable into the

back of the machine and plug the charger’s

main plug into a working electrical outlet. The

battery indicator light will begin ashing to

show you how much battery power the

machine has left. If the lowermost indicator

light is the only light ashing, the machine’s

battery was fully drained.

■

2) The machine could still be plugged in.

Please check to make sure the charging cable

is removed from the back of the machine

before starting.

Why is the battery of my FC 5 Cordless not

charging?

■

Please make sure that the charging cable is

snuggly inserted into the back of the

machine, the main plug is snuggly secure in

the wall socket and the wall socket has

power.

Why is the lowermost LED ashing when the

device is switched on, but the machine won’t

start?

■

This indicates that your FC 5 Cordless is com-

pletely out of battery, please charge the

machine.

Why are the LED lights ashing quickly/simul-

taneously?

■

1) This indicates that you may be using a

wrong or defective charging cable. Please

make sure you are using the original charging

cable for the machine. If the problem per-

sists, please give us a call at 800-537-4129.

■

2) This could also indicate that the unit is

overheating during use, which can happen

when operating the unit in high tempera-

tures. If this happens, keep the device turned

off for several minutes or until it has cooled

down. The device will switch on only when

the unit has cooled down.

Why aren’t the rollers on my FC 5 Cordless

rotating?

■

The rollers of your unit could be blocked.

Please remove the rollers and then remove

the suction head cover. Once removed, check

to make sure there is nothing blocking the

cavity where the rollers sit.

FAQS

Why is my FC 5 Cordless leaving streaks on my

oors?

■

1) You forgot to prime your rollers prior to

use. To prime your rollers, place about 3 oz.

of water in the cleaning/storage base. Then,

place the machine in the base and turn the

machine on for about 30-45 seconds, or until

all the water in the base has been absorbed.

Then, empty the waste water tank prior to

use

■

2) You may be using too much detergent.

Please make sure you are only using 1/4 to

1/2 of a capful (or about 8-10 ml) of Kärcher

detergent per clean water tank.

Why is the suction power of my FC 5 Cordless

reduced?

■

1) Your fresh water tank may be empty.

Please remove the fresh water tank and ll it

with cold or lukewarm water and then

replace.

■

2) The rollers may not be installed properly.

Please make sure that the colours on the

inside of the rollers are matched to the col-

our on the roller bar (green to green and blue

to blue). Twist the rollers until they t snug-

gly on the roller bar and lock into place.

■

3) The suction hoses may be clogged. To rem-

edy, remove the black tubes on either side of

the FC 5 that run from the head of the

machine to the machine’s body. Place the

tubes under running water to clear any

obstruction or trapped debris. Once clean,

reinstall the tubes by tting the outside of

the tube around the circular attachment

points to both the head and body of the

machine.

■

4) The suction head cover may be clogged.

Please remove both rollers from the roller

bar and then remove the suction head cover

by pressing the grey button and pulling the

cover away from the machine. Hold the cover

under running water, making sure to allow

the water to run over any crevices in the

cover. Then, reinstall the cover by holding

horizontally and “clicking” back onto the

machine. The grey button should stick out a

little bit if installed properly.

FAQS

Why is my FC 5 Cordless leaking?

■

1) The waste water tank may be over-filled.

The waste water tank is designed to pick up

the same amount of liquid that is dispensed

from the fresh water tank. The waste water

tank is full once it reaches the “Max” mark

located approximately 1/4 of the way up

from the bottom of the tank. Please make

sure to always measure the amount of waste

water in the tank when the machine is fully

vertical. When the waste water level has

reached the “Max” mark, please empty the

waste water tank by placing the FC 5 in the

storage/cleaning base. Then, press down on

the top part of the waste water tank and pull

the waste water tank away from the machine.

Over a sink, separate the top portion of the

waste water tank from the bottom portion

and pour the contents into the sink. Rinse

both the top and bottom part of the waste

water tank under water before reinstalling.

You will hear a “click” when the waste water

tank is correctly inserted.

■

2) The waste water tank may not be fully or

correctly inserted. Please remove the waste

water tank by placing the FC 5 in the storage/

cleaning base and then pressing down on the

top part of the waste water tank. Once you

have removed the waste water tank, please

re-insert it by placing the tank into the back

of the machine with the sticker facing out-

ward. You will hear a “click” when the waste

water tank is correctly inserted into the FC 5.

Why is there noise coming from the suction

head cover?

■

This could be caused by debris getting stuck

in the suction head cover. Please remove

both rollers and then the suction head cover.

Hold the suction head cover under running

water, making sure to let the water run over

any crevices in the cover. Finally, re-install

the head cover by clicking it back into place.

They grey button should stick out a little

when installed properly.
