This has the SC 3 "inherited", more precisely, he has improved a lot on this point: he needs namely only 30 seconds to heat up (!). In addition, this device has but to other positive features:
- The electrical output is 1900 watts , which heat-up time 0.5 minutes and the vapor pressure of 3.5 bar.
- The water tank can hold 1 liter of water and are constantly replenished while working without interruption. So we have to do it with a 2-chamber system, wherein the water tank but can not be removed separately from the device here, since it is integrated.
- Two indicator lights indicate the status of heating and ev. Of water shortage. About these ads is the on / off switch for heating.
- The selector switch on the handle has three positions:
- Maximum amount of steam,
- Reduced amount of steam,
- No steam ( Parental Control ): In this position the steam lever can not be operated.
- The extension tubes for the floor nozzle can be connected to the handle.
- The extension cord is 4 meters long, the radius of the outlet to the floor nozzle is around 7 meters.

The Kärcher SC 3 is ready for use after just 30 seconds to warm.
Its vapor pressure is 3.5 bar, a double chamber system makes for permanent filling of 1 liter water tanks.
The big advantage of the steam cleaner SC 3, the
tank system , which during operation permits refilling of the water tank (without Deactivating). Except for refilling with water, the operation of this steam cleaner is but identical to that of the simpler model SC1030 .
- The accessory is connected as follows:

- the two plugged into one another extension pipes are just connected to the steam gun,
- sponge cover is pulled over the hand tool,
- and just as the ground cloth over the floor nozzle.
- If the tank is filled completely new, it must be the warm-up wait of 0.5 minutes before starting the steam cleaning. Anons eliminates the warm-up (or is practically negligible) because the boiler is permanently supplied via the water tank yes.
The electrical output is
1900 watts . The actual energy consumption depends on the selected steam level and the votes per unit amount of steam.
Tile floors are a popular application for steam cleaners. The hot steam of SC3 ensures a thorough floor cleaning.
Safety point of Kärcher SC 3 is well equipped:
- First there is the already mentioned above, child safety on the steam selection switch of the handle. This ensures (even with the device) for a complete barrier of steam leakage.
- The pressure relief valve in the maintenance closure of the boiler leads to an automatic opening, if the pressure inside the boiler is too high.
- Too little water is in the boiler, so its Regulatory lamp flashes. If then still no water is added, the vessel will eventually be empty, and in this case, the switches boiler thermostat of the heating rods.
- Finally, both the pressure regulator and the boiler thermostat can fail. But even in this case it will be provided: the safety thermostat switches the unit off if it gets too hot.
The SC 3 is a reliable, versatile and easy to use steam cleaner in its price range. In particular, the separate from the boiler water tank the use of this tool facilitates much.
