Frequently Asked Questions - ST 9 ET TEAM

How to replace the dust bag?

Unplug the appliance and open the cover. Remove the full bag and discard it. Insert a new bag, ensuring the cardboard opening aligns with the conduit. Close the cover until it clicks. Refer to the Replacing the paper bag section in the manual.

How to clean the motor filter?

Remove the filter from its housing (approximately every 3 months) and clean it with soapy water. Let it dry completely before reinstalling. A wet filter can damage the appliance.

When should the HEPA filter be changed?

The HEPA filter should be checked regularly and replaced approximately every 3 months, depending on use. If saturated, remove the rear grille and replace it, orienting the rubber seal toward the motor.

What to do if the fill indicator turns red?

The red indicator means the bag is full or there is a blockage. First check if an object is blocking the conduit. If the indicator remains red after lifting the brush off the floor, replace the dust bag.

Can I vacuum liquids with this vacuum cleaner?

No, never vacuum liquids. This could damage the appliance and poses a risk of electric shock. Use the vacuum only on dry surfaces.

How to adjust the suction power?

You can adjust the power electronically using the adjustment button on the appliance, or manually via the handle. Use low power for curtains and furniture, and maximum power for carpets.

How to use the combination nozzle for different surfaces?

The combination nozzle has two positions: brush retracted for carpets and rugs, brush extended for hard floors (tiles, parquet). Change the position by turning the knob on the nozzle.

How to rewind the power cord?

After use, unplug the appliance and press the rewinder button on the vacuum. Guide the cord to avoid knots. Do not exceed the red mark when unwinding.

What to do if suction decreases?

First check that the bag is not full and the filters are clean. Also examine the tube and hose for any blockage. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

What accessories are included?

Always remove the plug from the power socket before fitting or removing accessories!
- Insert the connection piece [8] of the flexible hose into hose connection inlet on top the appliance. Press until it clicks. To remove the flexible hose, press on the two release buttons of the connection piece and pull it out of the appliance.
- Attach handle of the hose to the telescopic tube [7].
- Fit the desired brush or accessory to the other end of the telescopic tube.
- You can adjust the length of telescopic tube according to your own size. To do so, slide the release button in the direction of the telescopic tube and set the desired length. The tube will then block itself automatically in the desired position.
The floor brush [10] is ideal for the daily cleaning of carpets and hard floors. There are two settings on the floor brush.

Setting with the bristles inside for cleaning carpets. Setting with the bristles outside for cleaning hard floors.

The vacuum cleaner is delivered with the following accessories:

• Crevice tool
• Upholstery brush.

OPERATIONS

• When your appliance is assembled, you just need to pull out the power cord up to the desired length. A yellow mark on the power cable shows the ideal cable length. Do not extend the cable beyond the red mark, as this would damage the cord rewind mechanism. Should you exceed the red mark, no guarantee claims will be accepted. Put the plug in the power socket and switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF switch [1] with your foot. Whatever the chosen power, when switching on the appliance, the appliance will start progressively. As a result, there might be a short time-lag (1 or 2 seconds) between the moment you press the on/off switch and the moment the appliance really starts. This is normal.
• You can adjust the suction power with the electronic power regulator [2] or you can also adjust the suction power by using the wind-force adjuster on the handle. Use a low suction power for furniture and other delicate surfaces and use high suction power for fitted carpet and other floors.

AFTER USE

• Stop the vacuum cleaner by pressing the ON/OFF switch.
• Unplug the appliance from the power supply.
• Simply press the cord rewind button [3] down to activate the cable rewind mechanism. Guide the power word in order to prevent it from becoming entangled.

REPLACING THE DUST BAG AND CLEANING THE FILTERS

The filter system consists of: 1 double Motor filter

1 HEPA air filter, to vacuum the smallest particles

It is necessary to clean the filters regularly to avoid operating problems.

Paper dust bag

The dust bag level indicator indicates when the dust bag should be replaced.
- The hose might get blocked by a larger object. In this case the dust bag level indicator will be red. However this does not mean that you have to replace the dust bag. Just

remove the object, which blocks your tube or flexible hose, and your appliance will function properly again. Do not forget to unplug the appliance before removing the blocking object. Replace the dust bag when the dust bag level indicator is completely red.

• Disconnect the flexible hose and open the front cover by pressing the release button situated between the hose connection inlet and the handle.
• Remove the dust bag and throw it in the dustbin.
• To put a new dust bag in the appliance, proceed the other way around, taking the direction indicated on the dust bag into consideration.
  Make sure to put it correctly in the appliance, i.e. make sure that the hole in the dust bag carton is right across the hose connection inlet.
• Close the front cover by pressing it slightly, check if the hole of the carton matches the hole of the front cover and connect the flexible hose.

Motor filter

To clean the motor filter, remove it and wash it in soapsuds. (approximately every 3 months). Let it dry completely before putting it back in the appliance.

Air Filter

This HEPA-filter guarantees fresh air during cleaning. It should be rinsed clean at least three times a year or when it becomes visibly solid. Always operate the cleaner with filter installed, otherwise, reduced suction or motor damage may result.
- Unplug the appliance, open the filter supporting grate situated at the back of the appliance and pull the filter upwards.
- Check the state of the filter. If the filter is not dirty, put it back in the appliance. The rubber seal must face the motor. If the filter is dirty, it must be replaced.
- Close the grate back after having replaced the filter.

PRACTICAL HINTS

• When cleaning stairs, we advise you to keep the unit in a vertical orientation.
  The vacuum cleaner requires no other regular maintenance other than the filter cleaning and bag replacement tasks as detailed elsewhere.
• On the bottom of this appliance, there is a holder on which you can attach the telescopic tube. Put the appliance in vertical position to be able to attach the tube to the holder.
  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.
