Frequently Asked Questions - ST 40 TEAM

How to assemble the Team ST 40 vacuum cleaner?

Unpack the appliance and its accessories. Connect the hose into the opening on top until it clicks. Assemble the tube onto the hose handle, then attach the combination nozzle or another accessory to the end of the tube.

How to use the combination nozzle on different floors?

The combination nozzle has two positions: brush retracted for carpets and rugs, brush extended for hard floors (tile, parquet). Change the position by pushing the pedal or turning the brush.

What to do if the bag full indicator turns red?

The red indicator means the bag is full or there is a blockage. First check if an object is blocking the suction. If not, replace the dust bag. Note: on thick carpet, the indicator may light up temporarily: lift the brush and if it stays red, change the bag.

How to replace the dust bag?

Can the Team ST 40 vacuum liquids?

No, this vacuum cleaner is designed for dry vacuuming only. Do not vacuum any liquids, as this could damage the appliance and pose a danger.

How to rewind the power cord?

After use, unplug the vacuum cleaner and press the cord rewind button. The cord will retract automatically. Hold the plug to prevent it from whipping.
