Maintenance and Cleaning

Be sure that the appliance is turned off and that the mains plug has been removed from the socket before performing maintenance or cleaning.

Ø

max. The operating lamp indicates that the vacuum cleaner is connected to the mains voltage and is ready for operation.

B Suction power adjustment.

With the power adjustment wheel you can set the power of your vacuum cleaner to the optimum value for the relevant cleaning work.

Changing the Paper Filter

The paper filter must be replaced if the window on the filter replacement indicator is completely red when the appliance is operating at maximum power and the nozzle is raised from the floor.

The paper filter should be replaced even if it does not appear to be full because fine dust can block the pores in the surface of the filter.

The cover can be opened by pressing the button and folding back until it locks.

*depending on model

14

Changing the Microfilter

We recommend replacing the microfilter on every fifth paper filter replacement, at the latest when the dust level indicator is completely red with a clean dust bag and the nozzle raised.

Hygiene filter replacement: When removing the full filter bag, pull the closing tab to automatically close the bag. During this process you must overcome slight resistance when pulling the tab.

Full dust bags with normal household dust may be disposed of with household rubbish.

Insert the new paper filter in the guide rails and slide down to the lower stop (note marking), only then can the lid be closed. If a paper filter is not placed in the appliance, the lid cannot be closed. Please do not use force!

Open the lid and fold back until it locks. Remove the used microfilter (Figure) by the tab and dispose of with household rubbish. Insert the new microfilter.

Motor Protection Filter

The motor protection filter is a permanent filter and does not have to be regularly replaced.

The only exception is if the paper filter has been damaged and the motor protection filter soiled: remove the motor protection filter, clean (only tap out) and refit.

Insert new paper filter.

HEPA filter

A highly effective special filter belonging to

Class “S”. This filter offers relief and assistance to allergy sufferers. The HEPA filter should be replaced after one year.

Cleaning

Use a damp cloth to wipe off the housing and paper filter compartment as required. Do not use solvents or scourers. Clean the floor nozzle and the brush holder periodically using the crevice nozzle.

Carrying and Storage

To make the appliance easier to store and carry, slide the floor nozzle into the tool rail.

Parking System

For storing the suction tube and nozzle during short pauses in use. The bracket on the nozzle is slid into the parking rail on the appliance.

What to do, if ...

... the nozzle is hard to push

Turn down the power. Cleaning performance will not be affected in this case.

... the motor thermal overload protection device triggers

If the motor becomes overloaded, e.g. as the result of the filter bag being full or a blocked accessory, the thermal overload protection device will shut down the motor. Turn off the appliance, unplug from the mains, and allow the motor to cool down.

Check paper filter bag, suction tube and suction hose, remove any blockage.

The appliance can be turned on again after approximately 30 minutes.

... the fuse has blown

The fuse may blow if you use other high power electrical appliances on the same electrical circuit at the same time as the vacuum cleaner is in use.

This may be prevented by setting the electronic power regulator to minimum before turning on the appliance and increasing the power setting after switching on.

Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with an electronic soft start controller that reduces the start up current of the motor, this avoids the mains fuse blowing under normal circumstances. As a result, at the lowest power setting the appliance may have a start delay of approx. 4 seconds.

… the paper filter is damaged at some stage and the HEPA filter is dirtied

Remove the HEPA filter, clean (tap out) and replace.

Insert new paper filter.

16

... the thread lifters are worn

If the thread lifters on the suction inlet are worn or matted, you can replace them with new thread lifters.

You can order new thread lifters from AEG customer service under ET No. 668 901 690.

Special Nozzle

For special care of parquet, tiles and hard floors.

... the lid jumps out of its hinge

If the housing lid jumps out of its hinge due to being opened too far, place it back on the housing and press until it snaps back into place.

Additional Accessories
