IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE

!

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions must always be followed.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug; one blade is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Connect only to the outlet type specified on the serial number plate underneath the machine.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

1. Do not leave vacuum while plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.

20. Machines can cause a fire when operated near flammable vapors or materials. Do not operate this vacuum near flammable fluids, dust or vapors.

2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

3. Do not use near small children or pets. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Use of this product by children should always be supervised by an adult.

21. Maintenance and repairs must be done by qualified personnel.

22. Use only original SEBO replacement parts.

4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer-recommended attachments.

5. Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If vacuum is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a SEBO service center.

6. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.

Do not run vacuum over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

7. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug – not the cord.

8. Do not plug in if switch is in the “+” (ON) position.

9. Do not use outlets above counters to plug in vacuum – damage to items in the surrounding area could occur.

10. Always carry the vacuum over steps and sills.

11. Do not handle plug or vacuum handle with wet hands.

12. Do not put any object into vacuum openings. Do not use machine with any openings blocked. Keep openings free of lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.

13. Do not re-use filter bags or wash the filters.

14. Do not remove any screws from vacuum.

15. Do not vacuum up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

SEBO AIRBELT D4 PRODUCT FEATURES

The SEBO AIRBELT D4 is equipped with many extras that will make your life easier! Its “suction-optimized” airflow pathway, together with its one-of-a-kind tapered-hose technology, provides ultraquiet operation and amazing suction power. And the ergonomically designed handle offers unmatched user comfort and smooth operating maneuverability. Every detail expresses the highest quality, modern design, reliability, and the standard features SEBO customers throughout the world have come to expect, such as:

• SEBO’s patented AIRBELT Bumper Guard.

• A power head with amazing steering ability and easy brush roller removal.

• An adjustable telescopic tube with internal power cord.

• Long-lasting motor life, which is further extended by its softstart switch.

• S-class, hospital-grade filtration, which is excellent for users with allergies or asthma.

• Available in three colors: black, red and white.

• A generous five-year warranty on both labor and all non-wear parts.

SEBO Vacuums Save Money! – SEBO vacuums are the highest quality machines available. In fact, if properly maintained, SEBO vacuums can save ordinary residential users hundreds of dollars by providing excellent performance for ten to fifteen years or more. Typical vacuums perform poorly and usually do not last beyond two years. So, in the long run, SEBO vacuums cost less money than the five to six other vacuums purchased during that time period.

Outstanding Warranty Coverage – SEBO is confident about the quality of all its vacuums. Therefore, all models include a fiveyear warranty on the motor and all non-wear parts.

Bag Full or Clog Indicator & Auto Shut Off –

The “BAG FULL OR CLOG” indicator (located on top of the canister near the ON/OFF power control knob) will turn orange and the machine will automatically shut off when it senses a full bag, a clog in the airflow pathway, or an excessively dirty micro filter. If the user ignores this warning, the suction motor will heat up due to the lack of cooling provided by the airflow. Once the motor reaches a certain temperature it will shut off to protect itself from damage. The user should turn the switch off, unplug the machine and immediately insert a new bag or remove the clog (to remove a clog, refer to the

Clog Removal section on page 13). After approximately 30 minutes, the motor will have cooled and the vacuum can be restarted.

High-quality Telescopic Tube and Hose – On the AIRBELT D4, the power cord is built inside the telescopic tube and suction hose. This eliminates unsightly external wires and enables unobstructed and convenient handle height adjustment.

Variable Power Control on Handle – The vacuum’s suction power can be adjusted from 0 to 1,250 watts by a slider switch conveniently located on the handle.

Comfortable Ergonomic Handle – The AIRBELT handles are ergonomically designed and positioned to reduce wrist and arm fatigue. For extra comfort, an additional swivel is built into the handle-to-hose connection.

Quick-release Connections – The AIRBELT D4 models allow for quick and convenient connection of telescopic tubes, power brush heads, accessory cleaning heads and on-board tools.

LED Suction-power Indicator – The indicator tells the user with a glance how much suction power they are using. The light rotates slower or faster depending on the suction setting.

Powerful Vacuum Motors Provide Excellent Cleaning – The canister suction motor is 1250 watts, and the ET-1 power head motor is 175 watts, for a total of 1,425 watts. The ET-2 power head is 200 watts for a total of 1450 watts.

320-Degree Rotating Hose – A brilliantly designed hose-to-canister connection allows

320-degree rotation of the suction hose, providing easier user movement and machine maneuverability.

Shock Absorber Provides Furniture and

Wall Protection – The patented “AIRBELT” bumper that surrounds the D4 canister acts as a protective barrier. The soft foam bumper with its durable covering protects furniture, walls and the vacuum itself from damage during use.

Personalized Vacuums – AIRBELT canister vacuums can be personalized with a replacement AIRBELT bumper cover available in eight patterns and colors.

Rubber Coated Wheels and High Quality

Castors – The quality of the wheels and castors on SEBO canisters prevent damage to floors and rotate 360 0 for easy maneuverability.

Large Operating Range – A 40-foot cord with a 50-foot cleaning radius saves time because it minimizes the number of electrical outlets needed during use.

Three Full-Size On-board Tools and Parquet

Brush – The vacuum comes standard with a crevice tool, dusting brush and upholstery nozzle which are conveniently stored on the vacuum. Also included with the D4 is the

Parquet Brush for gently cleaning hard floors. It is lightweight with soft bristles, so it glides gently over floors. Many optional accessories are also available.

SEBO AIRBELT D4 PRODUCT FEATURES

Liberation from Bagless! SEBO Bags are

Hygienic – The three-layer filter bag is an integral part of SEBO’s filtration system because it effectively contains nearly all dirt captured by the vacuum. SEBO bags can be sealed when full, so no dust can escape into the air during disposal. In contrast, a lot of dust becomes airborne when emptying the dirt containers of bagless vacuums, and their micro filters quickly clog and must be replaced often, or a loss of suction will occur. Bagless vacuum micro filters are expensive, usually costing much more than SEBO’s filter bags.

A Huge 1.5-Gallon Filter Bag – The largecapacity filter bag is convenient and economical because fewer bag changes are needed. Micro Filters are Inexpensive and Easy to Change – Unlike most other vacuums, SEBO’s replacement micro filters are reasonably priced and can be easily changed in seconds, without any tools. And the micro filters last a long time before replacements are necessary because nearly all dust particles and debris are first captured by the three-layer filter bags.

Anti-allergy Hospital-grade, S-class Filtration – An excellent choice for users with allergies or asthma. Certified by leading

Allergy foundations in Europe, the AIRBELT

D4 vacuums provide the user with S-Class filtration of 99.9% of particles to 0.3 microns.

This is accomplished by the SEBO three-step filtration system.

First, the three-layer full-size filter bag (a) collects the vast majority of the debris. Then, the remainder of the particles are collected by the motor filter (b). Finally, the hospital-grade micro filter (c) cleans the exhaust air that the vacuum emits.

The AIRBELT (d) disperses the filtered exhaust air around the canister which provides quiet, gentle air flow. SEBO’s unwavering attention to the complete sealing of the machine ensures no dirt escapes around the microfilters.

ET Power Heads - Designed for All Floor

Surfaces.

Deep clean your carpet with a SEBO ET power head. SEBO power heads are virtually maintenance free, and their electronic overload protection feature extends belt life by automatically shutting off power, if a brush roller jams. These power heads deliver cleaning flexibility because their brush action aggressively cleans carpeting, and the brush may be switched off to clean hard floors and delicate rugs. The steering ability of the swivel necks help to easily clean around obstacles, and their L-shaped heads provide maneuverability around furniture and under cabinets. They also have brush height and brush wear warning lights.

Cleaning Dimensions – The ET-1 power head is 12-inches wide, with a cleaning with of 10 1 ⁄

2

-inches, and the ET-2 is 14 3 ⁄

4

inches wide, with a 13-inch cleaning width.

Brushless Cleaning Capability – The ET-1 or ET-2 power heads can provide gentle, brushless cleaning of delicate rugs or hard floors because the brush roller may be switched off, but suction will continue.

Brush Obstruction Light & Auto Shut Off – If an obstruction becomes jammed in the brush roller, a warning light will quickly flash, the brush roller will immediately stop spinning and the vacuum will shut off. The user should turn the power switch off, unplug the machine, and immediately remove the obstruction. If the user restarts the machine without removing the obstruction, the power head will again shut off and the amber light will turn on. This prevents the belt from breaking and protects the motor from damage.

Incorrect Height Setting or Brush

Deterioration Light – To ensure optimum cleaning at all times, a warning light will illuminate to indicate when the brush height is set too high for effective cleaning, or when the brush roller should be replaced due to excessive wear.

Four-level Manual Brush Height Adjustment – The brush height can be adjusted up or down for optimum cleaning.

Both Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaning – With a power brush to clean carpets and a parquet nozzle to clean hard floors, the

AIRBELT D4 provides all the flexibility needed to care for a variety of floor surfaces. The D4 vacuum can morph into a hard floor polisher, by adding a SEBO DISCO head.

Effective Pet Hair Removal –

All SEBO vacuums easily remove pet hair.

Remarkably Quiet Operation -

Intelligent design and highquality motors combine to provide amazingly quiet vacuums.

Bag Full or Clog Indicator & Auto Shut-Off - Figure 12

When the “BAG FULL OR CLOG” indicator (located on top of the canister (12) turns orange, airflow is reduced due to a full bag, a clog in the airflow pathway, or an excessively dirty filter. Turn the power off, unplug the machine and immediately insert a new bag (see page 11) or remove the clog (see page 13).

If the user ignores the orange warning indicator, and the motor reaches a certain temperature, it will shut off to protect itself from damage. The user should turn the power off, unplug the machine and immediately insert a new bag or remove the clog. After approximately 30 minutes, the motor will have cooled and the vacuum can be restarted. If the airflow is still restricted, the “BAG FULL OR CLOG” indicator will turn orange again and the machine will shut off. This feature prevents damage to the motor due to overheating.

Vacuuming fine dust may require an earlier filter bag change even though the filter bag is not full. Fluff may overfill the bag without the light coming on.

The bag full indicator works more efficiently at full power. Check the bag full status regulary at full suction power.

VACUUM MAINTENANCE

!

Always unplug vacuum from outlet before dismantling any part of machine!

Changing the Filter Bag - Figures 22, 23, 24, 25 & 26

To change the filter bag (40), switch off the power and unplug the vacuum. Lift the cover release catch (#15, figure 22) and raise the filter bag cover (18). Seal the filter bag with the sealing cap (49). Lift the filter bag out of the holder by tilting the green collar (50) up and pulling it out of the holder as shown in figure 23.

Insert the green collar of a new filter bag down into the filter bag holder vertically as shown in figure 25. Line up the tabs (#52, figure 24) with the slots on the green collar

(#51, figure 26) and gently push the collar down flat until the center U-shaped clip (#53, figure 24) moves all the way forward. Close the cover, making sure it snaps shut completely. Do not re-use the filter bags.

The “bag full or clog” indicator works correctly only at full power. Check the status of the filter bag regularly at full power.

Note: The nature of the contents of the filter bag will affect the point at which it needs changing. Fine dust may require an earlier change even though the bag is not full. Fluff or hair allows air to pass through easily, so the filter bag may over fill before the “bag full” indicator turns orange.

CLOG REMOVAL

!

Always switch off power and unplug vacuum from outlet before removing any clogs!

NOTE! D4 users with ET-1, ET-2 or DISCO power heads, please refer to your power head user’s manual for more detailed instructions for removing clogs in your power head.

If the “bag full or clog” warning indicator (12) remains orange after the filter bag has been changed and the filters are in good condition, there is likely a clog in the system.

Clogs in the Hose - Figures 35, 36, 37 & 38

Check for suction at the end of the hose by removing the handle grip (1) from the telescopic tube (5) and putting your hand over the handle grip suction opening (65). Turn the power on and slide the suction up to full power. If you feel reduced suction, the blockage is in the hose.

If the blockage is in the hose, there are two ways to clear it:

1. With the telescopic tube disconnected from the handle grip (1), hold the hose upright with one hand blocking the handle grip suction opening (65) and switch on the machine with full suction power. If necessary, quickly lift your hand on and off the end of the hose. If that does not clear the clog, you may also clear clogs by reversing the hose see #2 below.

2. With the power off, remove the hose neck (#14, figure 36) from the suction opening

(19) by squeezing the two release buttons (13). Remove the handle grip (1) from the telescopic tube (figure 37) and insert the handle end of the hose (1) into the suction opening (figure 38). Note: the handle will not fit snugly into the suction opening. Then, hold the hose upright with one hand blocking the hose neck end and switch on the machine at full suction power. If necessary, quickly lift your hand on and off the neck end of the hose (figure 38). After the clog is removed, replace the hose in the correct position.

Note! Do not insert a wire or stick into the hose. Doing so may cause damage to the hose.
