Frequently Asked Questions - ST 31 EC+ TEAM

How to change the dust bag?

Unplug the appliance, remove the hose end, open the dust container lid, take out the full bag, insert a new paper bag into its holder, close the lid and reconnect the hose. The red indicator tells you when it's time to change the bag.

How often should the filters be cleaned?

The motor protection filter should be cleaned every 3 months: remove it, rub or wash with soapy water, then dry completely. The air filter (at the back) should be replaced every 3 months.

What to do if suction decreases?

First check if the bag full indicator is red (bag full). Also check that the tube and hose are not clogged. If the problem persists, clean or replace the filters.

How to use the cord rewind?

To rewind the cord, press the rewind pedal after unplugging the appliance. Never pull the cord to store it.

Can I vacuum liquids with this vacuum cleaner?

No, this vacuum cleaner is designed for dry vacuuming only. Never vacuum liquids, as this could damage the appliance and cause an electrical hazard.

How to adjust the suction power?

Use the adjustment knob on the appliance. For curtains and delicate surfaces, use low power; for carpets and hard floors, maximum power is recommended.

How to use the universal 2-position brush?

The brush has two positions: position A (bristles out) for smooth floors (tile, parquet) and position B (bristles retracted) for carpets and rugs. Change the position by flipping the selector on the brush.

Where to store the accessories?

Place the vacuum cleaner in an upright position. Slide the tubing of the universal brush into the storage compartment under the appliance. The hose and tubes remain attached.

What to do if the red indicator stays on even though the bag is not full?

This may indicate a blockage in the tube or hose, or suction on a thick carpet. If the indicator remains red after lifting the brush, check for obstructions; otherwise, the bag may be full.

Where can I get my vacuum cleaner repaired?

All repairs must be carried out by an authorized after-sales service. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself, especially the cord rewind, as this is dangerous.

REPLACING THE DUST BAG AND CLEANING THE FILTERS

The filter system consists of: 1 Motor filter

1 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.

- Remove the hose from the hose connexion inlet.

• Open the front cover.
• Remove the dust bag from its holder and throw it in the dustbin without folding it.
• Put a new dust bag in its holder and put it in the appliance.
• Close the front cover by pressing it slightly. The flexible hose will connect automatically to the connection inlet.

Motor filter

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

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. 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 remove the filter. Replace it, and close back the grate.

PRACTICAL HINTS

• When cleaning stairs, we advise you to keep the unit in a vertical orientation.
• 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.
• The vacuum cleaner requires no other regular maintenance other than the filter cleaning and bag replacement tasks as detailed elsewhere.

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.
