Starting The Machine - Figures 1, 2 & 3

Before turning on your canister, make sure that you have a firm hold on the handle grip to keep the machine from moving forward.

1.With the canister main power control knob (9) in the OFF position, grasp the plug and pull the power cord (6) out from the power cable recess (22). The power cord (6) should be unwound from the cable reel at least two thirds of its length. Note: do not over-extend the cord.

2.Plug the polarized power cord into a 120 volt wall outlet located near the floor.

3.Press the main power control knob on the base of the canister (9) gently with your foot or hand. The green light (10) will illuminate indicating that the power is on (K3 model only).

Suction Control - Figure 3

K2 users: the suction control dial is located on the top side of the canister on the power control knob

(9). Rotate the dial counter-clockwise for maximum suction. Rotate clockwise to reduce suction for vacuuming curtains or delicate fabrics.

K3 users: for information on suction control, refer to page 7 of this manual.

The “bag full or clog” light (#10, figure 2) works correctly only at full power. At lower power levels, the “bag full or clog” light may illuminate incorrectly. Check the status of the filter bag regularly at full power. If the light remains illuminated at full power, and the filter bag is not full, check for clogs (see page 10).

To retract the cord, switch the vacuum off, unplug it from the outlet, then gently pull on the cord near the plug recess (22) and the mechanism will automatically rewind. Before rewinding the cable, always switch off and unplug the vacuum. Hold the plug while rewinding the cord onto the cord reel. Avoid letting the plug whip while rewinding.

The vacuum can be stored with the canister in a hori- zontal or vertical position. The Parquet nozzle, Kombi nozzle and Turbo head have a parking tab located on the front of the neck (39). Insert the parking tab into the upper side of the parking groove and slide down firmly. For vertical storage, or for easy carrying, use the park- ing slot on the underside (24). For horizontal storage, use the parking slot on the end of the canister (21).

!WARNING! The quality, condition, coating, texture, age and manufacturing technique of all floor surfaces vary. Therefore, vacuums with rotating brushes, including your SEBO, may damage some floor coverings or surfaces. Some types of high-gloss hardwood floors, cushion vinyl, berber carpets, long shag, and delicate or hand-woven carpets are particularly vul- nerable to damage by rotating brushes. When possible, consult the materials supplied by your flooring manufacturer for infor- mation on proper upkeep and cleaning. To ensure that your new SEBO vacuum cleaner is compatible with your floor, please test the vacuum cleaner on each type of flooring surface in a small inconspicuous area to determine if any damage occurs. If damage occurs, stop using the vacuum cleaner immediately!
