Frequently Asked Questions - ST 6 E TEAM

How to assemble the Team ST 6 E vacuum cleaner?

Unpack the appliance and all its accessories. Attach the hose handle to the top of the tubes, then the combination nozzle to the bottom. Insert the hose connector into the opening of the dust container, pushing until it clicks. To remove, press the release button.

How to use the combination nozzle for different surfaces?

The combination nozzle has two positions: brush retracted for carpets and rugs, and brush extended for tiles or parquet (smooth floors). Use back-and-forth longitudinal movements.

When and how to change the main filter?

Replace the main filter as soon as suction drops significantly. Frequency depends on use and type of debris. To replace, remove the dust container, separate the rigid support from the fabric part by pulling on the elastomer seal, then install a new filter.

How to clean the motor protection filter?

The motor filter normally does not need replacement. If necessary, remove it from its housing and rub it. You can also wash it with water and detergent, but rinse it and let it dry completely before putting it back.

What to do if suction decreases?

First check if there is any blockage in the tube or hose. If not, the main filter is likely saturated: replace it. Also ensure the dust container is not full.

How to adjust the suction power?

The suction power is adjusted electronically by turning the on/off button (D): turn towards MAX to increase, towards MIN to decrease. Use low power for curtains and delicate surfaces, high power for carpets and floors.

How to store the vacuum cleaner after use?

Turn off the appliance and unplug it. Press the cord rewind pedal (C) to automatically rewind the cord. Store the vacuum upright or lying down. To save space, place the tubes and nozzle in the storage compartment under the appliance.

Can I vacuum liquids with this vacuum cleaner?

No, this vacuum cleaner is designed for dry use only. Never vacuum liquids, especially flammable liquids, as this would damage the appliance and pose a hazard.

How to clean stairs with the vacuum cleaner?

Place the appliance in an upright position or use the strap provided to hang it over your shoulder. Attach the carabiners to the holes at the back of the appliance and loop the ring around the hose connector before attaching it to the container.

What to do in case of a blocked suction hose?

If the hose is blocked, first turn off the appliance before clearing it. Do not intentionally block the hose. Check the tube and hose to remove the obstruction.

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.
