single-phasewith tank

Product overview
The SCV 4 Steam Vac is a 3-in-1 steam vacuum cleaner for fast, deep cleaning of hard floors and low-pile carpets. It combines steam cleaning, vacuuming and a dedicated steam-only mode with four selectable cleaning modes to adapt to surface sensitivity and soil type. The device heats up in approximately 30 seconds and features a removable refillable fresh water tank and an integrated descaling cartridge for continuous operation.

Features and benefits

• 3-in-1 function: simultaneous steaming and vacuuming, steam-only or vacuum-only modes to streamline cleaning workflows and reduce preparatory steps.
• Non-stop steam and integrated descaling cartridge: removable tank allows refilling at any time; descaling cartridge reduces limescale buildup and extends service life.
• User-friendly LED display: colour-coded status indicators for heating, cartridge replacement, full dirty-water tank and empty fresh-water tank; selectable steam modes including a sensitive mode for delicate floors.
• Hygienic performance: when used as specified, steam eliminates up to 99.999% of common household bacteria and enveloped viruses¹⁾ under test conditions.
• Rapid readiness: heat-up time approximately 30 seconds for minimal downtime during cleaning operations.
• Cleaning station and self-cleaning: station stores the unit and accessories and supports an internal self-cleaning cycle for the roller and device interior.

Notes
¹⁾ When spot cleaning with the Kärcher steam cleaner (steam for 30 seconds at maximum setting in direct contact with the surface), 99.999% of enveloped viruses such as influenza (except hepatitis B) can be removed from standard smooth hard household surfaces (test germ: Modified vaccinia virus Ankara).
²⁾ When cleaning at 30 cm/s at maximum steam setting in direct contact with the surface, 99.999% of common household bacteria are eliminated on standard smooth hard household surfaces (test germ: Enterococcus hirae).
³⁾ Use of the descaling cartridge can extend device lifetime up to ten times (based on internal tests vs. operation without cartridge, water hardness 20 °dH and carbonate hardness 15 °dH). Regular cartridge replacement at maintenance intervals is essential.
⁴⁾ Kärcher steam vacuum cleaners can halve cleaning time by allowing single-step removal of common household dirt, removing the need to vacuum before mopping.
