In order to study the powering source behind KL nebula, we made a map of OH and H2O masers from VLA observations of this region, and compared their spatial distribution and velocity structure with that of the SiO masers. The distribution of the OH masers consists of a multi-stream structure and seems to be related to the Hot Core molecular emission. The low velocity H2O masers may be classified as two groups: i) an inner clump of maser spots surrounding the SiO maser disc and continuum source “I”, and ii) component associated with the Hot Core represented by HDO emission peaks.
