REPLACING THE DUSTBAG, S-BAG^®

Replace the s-bag when S-BAG indicator lights up in red (green light: bag is OK, yellow light: soon time to replace bag).

NB: Always change the s-bag when S-BAG indicator is illuminated or has red light even if the s-bag is not full (it may be blocked) and after using carpet cleaning powder. For best possible performance, use the Ultra Long Performance bag which is especially developed for your cleaner. Other synthetic s-bags can also be used. Do not use paper dust bags! www.s-bag.com

Rinse the inside (dirty side) in lukewarm tap water. Tap the filter frame to remove the water. Repeat the process four times.

NB: Do not use cleaning agents. Avoid touching the filter surface. Let the filter dry completely (min. 24 h in room temperature) before putting back! Change the washable filter at least once a year or when it is very dirty or damaged. Do not remove the L-shaped foam under the filter.

TIPS ON HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS

NOZZLE/ACCESSORY	USE FOR:
3in1 accessory tool	3 tools in 1: Dusting tool for hard surfaces (bookshelves, skirting boards etc). Upholstery tool for textiles (curtains, upholstery etc). Crevice tool for narrow spaces (behind radiators etc).
Turbo nozzle*	Carpet nozzle: Brushes and vacuums at the same time (best pick up of hair, fibres etc). Brush roller is driven by the airflow of the vacuum cleaner. Not suitable for carpets with very deep piles and long fringes, anti-slip carpets like door mats or water resistant carpets. Use universal nozzle instead.
ParkettoPro nozzle*	Hard floor nozzle: For gentle cleaning of hard floor (parquet, wooden floor, tiles etc). Best dust pick up on hard floor with crevice.
Furniture nozzle*	Delicate Surfaces Tool: Removes fine particles and dust from delicate surfaces in your home
AllFloor Auto LED nozzle (with front lights)	Universal nozzle: For all floor types, secures excellent dust pick up both on carpets and hard floors. Recommended to use Allfloor mode, which enables going from hard floor to carpet without adjusting the setting. For deep cleaning on carpet, change the nozzle setting with the slider to Carpet mode. Front light helps to detect dust and dirt in dark spaces (under furniture etc).
Mini Turbo nozzle*	Upholstery nozzle: Brushes and vacuums at the same time (best pick up of hair, fibres etc). For textile furniture, car seats, mattresses etc. Brush roller is driven by the airflow of the vacuum cleaner. Not suitable for carpets with very deep pile and long fringes as it can get stuck in the rotating brush roll.
FlexProPlus nozzle*	Hardfloor nozzle: For reach under/between furniture, corners and other obstacles. Can easily turn 180 degrees for direct access to narrow spaces.

With AUTO-function the cleaner automatically adjust the suction power in order to give an optimal cleaning performance and comfort on every surface. For manual regulation, follow graphics for optimal performance.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
The vacuum cleaner does not start	Check that the cable is connected to the mains. Check that the plug and cable are not damaged. Check for a blown fuse. Check if the battery indicator lamp in the remote control handle responds (certain models only).
The s-bag® indicator light is illuminated	Check if the s-bag® is full or blocked. If you have already changed the s-bag^®, change the motor filter.
The filter indicator light is illuminated	Change, or wash (if washable), the exhaust filter.
The cleaner stops	The cleaner might be overheated: disconnect it from the mains; check if the nozzle, tube, hose or filters are blocked. Let the cleaner cool down for 30 minutes before plugging it in again. If the cleaner still does not work, contact an authorized AEG service centre.
Reduction of suction capacity versus normal	Check if the s-bag is full or blocked. Check if the motor filter is clogged and needs changing. Check if nozzle is blocked and needs to be cleared. Check if hose is blocked by squeezing it gently. However, be careful in case the obstruction has been caused by glass or needles caught inside the hose. Note: The warranty does not cover any damage to the hose caused by cleaning it.
Water has been sucked into the vacuum cleaner	It will be necessary to replace the motor at an authorized AEG service centre. Damage to the motor caused by the penetration of water is not covered by the warranty.
For any further problems, contact an authorized AEG service centre.
