Frequently Asked Questions - VCB 6560 TEAM

How to assemble the VCB 6560 vacuum cleaner?

Assemble the hose handle onto the top of the tubes, then the combination nozzle onto the bottom. Insert the hose end into the dust container opening until it clicks.

How to empty the dust container?

Press the release button on top of the device, remove the container, and empty it into a trash can. Also remove the main filter to clean it.

How to adjust the suction power?

Turn the on/off dial (D) towards MAX to increase power or towards MIN to reduce it. Low power is suitable for curtains and delicate surfaces, high power for carpets and floors.

When should the main filter be replaced?

As soon as suction drops significantly, the filter is saturated. It needs to be replaced. Frequency depends on usage and type of debris (fine dust clogs faster). Do not wash it with water.

How to clean the motor filter?

Remove the motor protection filter from its housing and rub it. You can wash it with water and detergent, but rinse it and let it dry completely before replacing.

How to use the combination nozzle for hard floors?

The combination nozzle has two positions: brush retracted for carpets and rugs, brush extended for tiles and parquet. Change the position by operating the nozzle pedal.

What to do if suction decreases?

First check for any blockage in the tube or hose. Otherwise, empty the dust container and check the filters. Replace the main filter if necessary.

How to rewind the power cord?

After turning off and unplugging, press the rewind pedal (C) to automatically rewind the cord. If a part remains out, pull out 50 cm and press again.

What accessories are included with the vacuum cleaner?

The vacuum cleaner comes with a hose, extension tubes, a combination nozzle, and a 2-in-1 tool (brush and crevice tool for furniture and curtains).

How to clean stairs with this vacuum?

Place the device in an upright position or use the strap provided by attaching it to the holes at the back and looping the ring around the hose end to carry it over your shoulder.

UK STYLE PLUG WIRING INSTRUCTIONS (IN THE UK ONLY)

This product must only be used from a 13-amp power socket. If a BS1363 approved 13-amp plug is used, it should be fitted with a 13-amp fuse. The wires on the power cord are colour coded:

blue = neutral, brown = live.

The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N or coloured in black.

The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L or coloured in red.

ASSEMBLING THE VACUUM CLEANER

• Remove all packaging material from the appliance and its accessories.
• Assemble the handle of the flexible hose (G) on the upper part of the tubes (I) and then assemble the floor brush (J) on the other end of the tubes, as indicated on figures 2-3-4.
• Insert the hose (L) in the connection inlet of the dust collector (M) by having the release button facing upward, and press until it clicks (Fig. 1). To remove the hose, press its release button and pull at it.
• The floor brush (J) possesses 2 positions (Fig. 5) which allow you to clean all kinds of surfaces very easily, simply by changing the position adequately:
  Setting with the bristles inside for cleaning carpets. Setting with the bristles outside for cleaning hard floors.

OPERATION

• First of all, check if the filters are placed properly in the appliance, as vacuum cleaning without filter might damage the motor of the appliance irreparably. (see paragraph FILTERS for their use and installation).
• Pull out a sufficient length of power cord and insert the plug into the power socket. A yellow mark on the power cable shows the ideal cable length. Do not extend the cable beyond the red mark.
• It is advisable to set the electronic power regulator to MIN before switching the appliance on. By turning the regulator button, the suction power can be adjusted.
• When you use the floor brush, make longitudinal to and fro movements (do not make lateral movements) and insist on the places that are dirtier, always keeping the sole of the floor brush in contact with the surface you want to vacuum. To clean under low pieces of furniture, hold the handle (G) and make a quarter of a turn with the hinge of the floor brush to put it in its lowest possible position. Make sure you still keep the sole of the floor brush in contact with the surface you want to clean.
• With the delivered 2 in 1 accessory (Fig. 6) you can clean surfaces that are hard to reach, such as furniture (use the crevice tool) and delicate surfaces such as curtains (use the small brush). This accessory can be mounted on the handle or on the tube.
• After use we advise you to empty the dust collector to avoid smells and mildew that could be caused by damp dust particles that could have been vacuumed, and also to guarantee an optimal efficiency during the next use. To do so, press the release button (B) and remove the dust collector (Fig. 7). Then hold it above the dust bin, and remove the main filter.

WHEN CLEANING IS FINISHED

• Stop the vacuum cleaner by depressing on the switch button.
• Disconnect plug from electrical outlet.

- Simply press lightly with your foot on cable rewind button on top of cleaner. If the cord does not enter completely in the appliance, pull 50 cm of the power cord out of the appliance and try again.

FILTERS

To reach the filters situated in the durst collector, press the release button (B) and remove the dust collector (Fig. 7). For practical reasons, it is recommended to remove the hose from the connection inlet first.

The filter system consists of:

• a main filter that stops the particles and allows the storage in the dust collector. This filter plays the same role as a regular dust bag. This filter consists of 2 parts, a hard bracket and a textile part fixed on an elastomer seam. To replace a dirty filter, separate the bracket from this textile part by pulling at the elastomer seam and put a new filter in the bracket by inserting it in the edge of the seam.
• a motor protection filter which catches larger particles in case the main filter wouldn't have caught them. This filter is an additional protection for the motor but must not be used as the only filter.
• an air filter situated in the air outlet grid (E) and filtering small particles rejected by the motor.

Changing and cleaning the filters

A) Main filter

If you notice a loss of suction power, this means that the filter is full and must be replaced. The replacing frequency depends both on the operation frequency and on the type of dust you vacuum. For instance very small particles of plaster or concrete will stick to the filter very easily. To reduce the replacing frequency, you can either remove the bigger particles obstructing the filter, or shake the filter above the dustbin. Never try to clean the filter with a brush or water. Filters are available at your retailer's.

B) Motor protection filter

Theoretically this filter must not be replaced, as the main filter catches almost all the vacuumed dust particles, but if it is dirty, you can clean it. To do so, take it out of the appliance and wipe it. You can also make use of some soapy water, but make sure it is completely dry before putting it back in the appliance.

C) Air filter

• This filter guarantees fresh air during cleaning. It should be rinsed clean at least three times a year or when it becomes visibly solid.
• Unplug the appliance, open the air outlet grille and remove the filter. Replace it and close the grille.

D) Dust collector

Clean the inside of the dust collector with a damp cloth or sponge, but make sure it is totally dry before using the appliance again.

PRACTICAL HINTS

• When cleaning stairs, we advise you to keep the unit in a vertical orientation or to use the shoulder strap provided. To attach it, fix its two rings in the loops on the appliance and pass it along the end of the flexible hose before fixing the latter to the dust compartment.
• There is a tube park at the back of the appliance. To attach the tube to the tube park, put the appliance in vertical position.
• In horizontal position, the appliance also has a storage facility in the back of the appliance, that allows storing the floor brush, tubes and flexible hose (for instance to move furniture).

If you notice a loss of suction power, it is probably due to one or a combination of the following events: blocked filter, full or punctured bag or blockage in tubes. If your appliance still does not work properly after you have checked those problems, please ask a qualified electrician for advice.
