■alnisiiaiie« and claaning

Before the appliance is cleaned or maintenance in carried and it haste be switched
off arid unplugged from the mains supply.

Changing the paper dustbag

The dustbag needs changing when the cleaner is
set to maximum power and the cleaner head is oft
the floor but the “bag full" indicator window is com
pletely coloured red.
Even if №e dustbag does not appear to be full atthis
stage, it should be changed, it could be that a great
deal of very fine dust has clogged up the pores of
the dustbag.

[H]

Open the cover by pressing the button, and lifting it

up until it snaps into place.

-Hygienic dustbag change: when you take out the
full dustbag, you automatically cover ttie opening
by pulling on the closure tag. You may have to over-

'come a slight resistance as you pull.

Full dustbags can be disposed of with the normal
household rubbish.

Push the new dustbag into the guide rails as far as it will go, only then will the cover

close. If no dustbag Is Inserted the cover cannot be shut Rease do not use force!

Paper dustbag sizes

Please use originaf AEG dustbags, Size 2% ordustbags which carry the AEG Quality

Seal. They are available from electrical retailers under the order-number

E 618899 682, or from the AEG Service Centre under ET-No. 668 901262.
Damage resulting from the use of any other dustbag is not covered by the Guaran

tee.

24

Changing the mlcro-fRter/uHra-mlao-flHer

Switch off and piill out the mains plug before changing the micro-filter.
Changing the micro-filter/ultra-micro-fitter is necessary:

For appliancee with no micro-fitter indicator - when the dustbag lull indicator

lights up,evenwhenaclean dustbag has been inserted,w№ the appliance switched
on. hold the head/nozzle upwards or off the floor,if the light remains on,this indicates
the micro-fitter should be changed. We recommend changing the micro-filter with
every fifth bag.

For appliances with micro^Her hidicator - when this comes on.

The cassette can be opened by pressing the micro­filter button. Take out the cassette inthe direction of
the arrow and empty the micro-filter over a dustbin

- this avoids you touching the dirty micro-filler.

Insert the new micro-filter into the cassette as
shown in the illustration, push it back in parallel to

the floor, and snap the cover shut.

Motor protection filter

The motor protection filter is a permanent filter and does not have to be changed
regularly. Exception: if it has been damaged. Sea “What to do if...”.

Cleaning

The cleaner housing and dusfbag compartment can be cleaned with a damp cloth
and then wiped dry with asoft cloth. Do not use any abrasives or solvents. The under
side of the cleaner head can be cleaned with the crevice nozzle from time to time.

25

What to do wfim...

... the motor protection Is scHvated?

When ttie paper-dustbag is full or blocked or any of the accessories are blocked the

ovar-heating protectioptorthe motor isactivated. Switch oH and unplug the vacuum
cleaner and allow the motor to cool down.
Check the paper dustbag and accessories and remove any blockages. The cleaner
can be switched on again after 30 minutes.

... the fuse blow« or hips?

If you connect other electrical appliances with a high wattage to the same mains cir
cuit and use them at the same time as the vacuum cleaner, this can trip the fuse.

This can be avoided if you set the electronic power control to 250W before you

switch on, and only select a higher output level after switching on.

. the thread«olleclDrs are urom out?

If the thread-collectors at the suction opening
are worn out or stuck together, you can fit ones.
They can be ordered trom the AEG Service Centre
under the ET-No; 668 900 560.

...№e wheels of the floor cleaning head are hard to move?

Remove any hairs or threads which have become
wrapped round the axle of the roller. The wheels
can be removed for cleaning. Pull roller (A) as illus
trated. Remove hairs and threads. When replacing

it, the semi-circular axle-head must point inwards. If the roller axie is inserted wrong
