Maintenance and cleaning
Before the appliance is cleaned or maintenance in carried and it has to be switched
off and unplugged from the mains supply.
Changing the paper dustbag
Switch off and pull out the mains plug before
changing the dustbag.
Changing the paper dustbag is necessary when
the red dustbag full indicator shows. We recom
mend changing the dustbag even when it does not
appear to be full, this could indicate that there is a
high proportion of very fine dust present.
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 the 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. Please do not use forcel
Paper dustbag sizes
Please use original AEG dustbags. Size 23, or dustbags which carry the AEG Quality
Seal. They are available from electrical retailers under the order-number
E 618 899 683, or from the AEG Service Centre under ET-No. 668 901263. Damage
resulting from the use of any other dustbag is not covered by the Guarantee.
24
Changing the nticro-filter/ultra-micro-filter
Switch off and pull out the mains plug before changing the micro-filter.
Changing the micro-filter/ultra-micro-filter is-necessary:
For appliances with no micro-filter indicator - when the dustbag full Indicator
lights up, even when aclean dustbag has been inserted, with the appliance switched
on, hold the head/nozzle upwards or off the floor, ifthe light remains on, thisindicates
the micro-filter should be changed. We recommend changing the micro-filter with
every fifth bag.
For appliances with micro-filter indicator - when this comes on.
The cassette can be opened by pressing the micro
filter button. Take out the cassette in the direction of
the arrow and empty the micro-filter over a dustbin
- this avoids you touching the dirty micro-filter.
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. See ‘What to do if...”.
Cleaning
The cleaner housing and dustbag compartment can be cleaned with a damp cloth
and then wiped dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any abrasives or solvents. The under
0
side of the cleaner head can be cleaned with the crevice nozzle from time to time.
о
25
Transportation and storage
For easier storage and for transporting the appli
ance, slide the floor cleaning head or the
ROTOSOFT1000 Turbo-brush into the storage rail.
What to do when.
...the motor protection is activated?
When the paper dustbag is full or blocked or any of the accessories are blocked the
over-heating protection for the motor is activated. Switch off 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 biows or trips?
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 electronifi power control to 250 W before you
switch on, and only select a higher output level after switching on.
£
CD
0
... the thread-coilectors are worn out?
If the thread-collectors (B) at the suction opening
are worn out or stuck together, you can fit ones.
They can be ordered from the AEG Service Centre
under the ET-No. 668 900 560.
...the wheels of the floor cieaning 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 axle is inserted wrong
way round the swivel joint could suffer damage.
26
£
O
... the paper dustbag has been damaged and there is dirt in the motor protec
tion filter?
Remove the motor protection filter, clean it (by
shaking the dirt out), and re-insert it.
.the lid comes out of the hinge?
If the lid of the vacuum cleaner has been opened
too far, beyond the stop, and comes out of the
hinge, place it back on the housing and press it
down until it clicks into place.
