Sebo C3.1 User Manual

Active charcoal filter

An active charcoal filter (34, Art.-No. 6108ER) for removing
odours is available. Take it out of the packaging just before fit­ting and put it in place of the exhaust microfilter (31). Change it
when its effect starts to decrease.

Safety shut off

If the machine will not work despite the green light (22) being
on, it has switched off to prevent the motor overheating. In this
case switch off and unplug the machine. After approximately 30
minutes the machine can be operated again. Before operating,
the cause of overheating must be found – full bag, clogged fil­ters or blockage – and rectified.

Clearing blockages

Clear blockages in the hose by fitting it into the suction opening
(2) the wrong way round and repeatedly closing the free end
with your hand

Never use a stick to clear the hose.

Clear the telescopic tube the same way. Here a stick could be
used. Always ensure that the filters are not clogged.

CAUTION – Always switch off and unplug the machine
before changing the bag, filters etc.

Changing the bag

The orange bag light (25) indicates that there is a reduced air
flow. This is caused either by a full paper bag, or a blockage in
the telescopic tube, the handle, or the hose of the machine. (To
clear, refer to the blockage section.)
The nature of the contents of the bag will effect the point at which
it needs changing. Fine dust may require an earlier change even
though the bag is not full. Fluff or hair lets air pass through easi­ly, so the bag may overfill without the orange light operating.
To change the bag, put the machine upright and lift the flap (26).
Follow the diagrams on the bag to change the old bag fore a new
one. Please ensure that the bag top (27) is located properly on
both sides of the holder (28) and pushed in until it locks. The cover
(29) can only the closed with a properly attached paper bag.
The used paper bag can be sealed with a cap which is included
with each bag in the SEBO Filterbox and C-Service-Box (Art-No.
5093ER and 6198ER).

Do not re-use the paper bags.

Changing the filters

The SEBO air belt C3.1 has a unique combination of two micro­filters, a Hospital Grade microfilter in front of the motor and one
in the exhaust (30, Art.-No. 6191ER and 31, 6033ER). They are
also available with ten paper bags in the SEBO Service-Box­C2/C3 (Art.-No. 6198ER).
Both filters are recommended to be changed together. This would
normally be after the use of between 10 and 20 paper bags. Or
when a significant drop of suction is noticed, e.g. after a dama­ged bag.
After opening the cover the Hospital Grade microfilter can just be
pulled out. The exhaust microfilter is located in the microfilter hol­der which can be pulled out. Check both microfilters regularly.

Never operate the machine with incorrectly attached
filters or without filters, bag, air belt or bag cover
(29).
The filters must not be washed..

The SEBO air belt

Your SEBO cylinder vacuum cleaner has a unique soft bumper
(14) which protects your walls and furniture. The microfiltered
exhaust air is dissipated round the air belt.
The air belt can easily be changed. Take the clip (16) off and
remove the textile cover (15). The foam part (17) stays on the
machine.
To fit the new air belt, slot the side rails into the grooves (18).
Start at the back and proceed round the machine. Secure the
ends with the clip (16).

Never operate the machine without an air belt (15).

Using the machine

Before connecting the plug, pull the cable (19) fully out. The
cable rewind is operatded by the rewind button (20). Before
rewinding the cable always switch off and unplug the machine.
The main switch (21) turns the machine on, indicated by the
green light (22). The machine can be switched to standby mode
with the power adjustment slider (23). The green light will stay
on until the machine is switched off at the main switch (21). The
standby mode is for short interruptions. For longer interruptions,
always turn off at the main switch and unplug.
For optimal carpet cleaning the machine can be used with
power brush. The plug contacts to the socket (24) and fits to the
neck of the hose.

Suitable for SEBO power brushes only.

Bag light (orange)

The orange bag light (25) indicates a full bag or blockage in the
hose or tube. The light only works correctly at full power, at lower,
power levels the bag light might indicate incorrectly. Check status
regularly at full power.

SEBO ET-H Power Head (optional attachment)
The ET-H Power head on the SEBO air belt C3.1 delivers all the
cleaning effectiveness SEBO customers have come to expect but
with a patented new design, offering dual edge-cleaning and a
manual brush control for optimal cleaning from one type of
flooring to another. As with other SEBO products the ET-H is
electronically protected and virtually maintenance-free. The
steering mechanism built into the swivel neck helps you to clean
easily around obstructions.
