Fresh water tank empties very quickly and carpets are overly saturated.

Safety first: Unplug the unit and remove the fresh water tank.

• Inspect solution valve: Check the tank outlet valve and internal solution valve for debris preventing proper closure. Clean and ensure smooth operation.
• Check spray jets: Remove the spray bar and inspect jets for damage or enlargement. Replace if jets are worn.
• Use correct settings: Ensure you are not using a continuous spray mode unintentionally. Use trigger-controlled spray where available.
• Adjust detergent mix: Follow Kärcher's recommended dilution to avoid excessive foaming and wetting.
