In the case of excessively high pressure in the event of
a fault, a safety valve relieves the pressure into the at-
mosphere.
The fuse prevents the device from overheating. If the
device overheats, the fuse disconnects the device from
the power supply.
Before re-commissioning the device, contact the re-
sponsible KÄRCHER Customer Service.
