Getting the best results (see page 5)

Carpets: Use the floor nozzle with the lever in horizontal position.

Hard floors: Use the floor nozzle with the lever in vertical position.

Loose rugs/curtains/lightweight fabrics:

Reduce the suction power. Use the floor nozzle for loose rugs and the upholstery nozzle for curtains, cushions etc.

Confined areas: Use the crevice nozzle for crevices, corners and radiators.

Dustbag indicator and changing the dustbag (see page 5)

For peak performance the dustbag must be changed when full. If the dustbag should accidentally get broken in the cleaner, take cleaner to an AEG-Electrolux Service Centre for cleaning. Check the dustbag regu- larly and replace when necessary. The dustbag indicator window will grad- ually turn red when filling and completely red when full.

To check the dustbag, the cleaner must be switched on, with all attach- ments connected and off the floor.

The dustbag full indicator may signify that the bag is blocked (occasionally caused by very fine dust) which will cause loss of suction and may result in overheating. If this occurs change the dustbag even if it is not full.

To change the dustbag

Release catch and swing back lid before removing the dustbag.

Remove the dustbag.

Insert new dustbag by fitting the bag slots over holders.

We recommend the dustbag is changed

after using a carpet cleaning powder

if there is a bad smell from the cleaner, then you should also change the filter

Note: Use only AEG original dustbags and filters (ref GR51).

Dustbag safety device:

To avoid damaging the cleaner do not use it without a dustbag. A safety device is fitted which pre- vents the cover closing without a dustbag. Do not attempt to force cover shut.

Changing the filters (see page 5)

There are two filters inside your cleaner. Never use the cleaner without the filters in place.

To clean Motor Protection filter

The Motor Protection filter should be cleaned when dirty.

Pull dustbag upward and remove the motor protection filter.

Rinse the filter under tap water and dry it completely.

Put the filter back into the cleaner and close the cover.

To change Micro filter

The Micro filter should be changed with every fifth dustbag.

Open the filter grill and remove the exhaust filter.

Rinse the filter under tap water and dry it completely.

Put the filter back into the cleaner and close the filter grill.
