SPECIAL SEBO PRODUCT FEATURES
Your SEBO automatic X series vacuum cleaner is the most technically advanced upright vacuum cleaner in the world. Along with its excellent filtration system (99.9% to 0.3 microns), one of its most important features is its ability to “monitor” the resistance of the brush roller against the floor, so that the proper cleaning height is consistently maintained. In addition, the machine has warning systems and automatic shut-off capabilities that are designed to alert the user to machine problems that, if ignored, will damage the machine or diminish performance.
Your SEBO automatic’s five most unique features are:
1.Automatic Power Head Height Adjustment. Based upon the resistance of the brush roller against the floor, the power head automatically adjusts up or down to the appropriate cleaning height. The adjustment process is indicated by two green lights labeled “UP” and “DOWN” located on top of the power head. The height adjustment chosen by the machine ensures aggressive brush action, while providing optimal air flow. This prevents suffocation of air flow due to improper height selection.
2.Brush Roller Obstruction – Auto Shut-Off.If the brush roller is obstructed, the machine will shut off in 3 seconds and the red “CHECK BRUSH” light located on top of the power head will flash. The user should turn the switch off, unplug the machine and immediately remove the obstruction. If the user restarts the machine without removing the obstruction, the machine will again shut off in 3 seconds and the “CHECK BRUSH” light will flash.
3.Brush Roller Deterioration Warning. The red “CHECK BRUSH” light will illuminate (after a 10 second delay) to notify the user that the brush roller is too worn and, therefore, should be replaced. The light will remain illuminated until the worn brush roller is replaced, but the machine will continue to operate in the meantime.
4.Stationary Use Warning. When the machine has its handle in the upright-locked position, it is designed to disengage the brush roller from the floor by raising the height of the power head. If the power head reaches its highest brush height but is still engaged in the carpet, the “CHECK BRUSH” light will slowly flash to alert the user. This can occur on extremely high-nap carpet, such as loose-pile shag, or on carpets with extraordinarily thick padding underneath. However, it is typically caused by the user pulling forward on the machine while using the attachment hose or active wand. This feature was designed to be an alert to the user to “take care” while the machine is stationary. An operating machine should not stand stationary on the floor for inappropriate periods of time.
5.Bag Full or Clog Warning – Auto Shut-Off.If the vacuum’s air flow pathway becomes restricted due to a full bag or the existence of a clog, the red “BAG FULL OR CLOG” light located on top of the power head will illuminate. If the user ignores this warning for approximately 30 seconds, the machine will shut off and the “BAG FULL OR CLOG” light will flash. The user should turn the switch off, unplug the machine and immediately insert a new bag or remove the clog (to remove a clog, refer to the Clog Removal section on page 9). If the user restarts the machine without having solved the problem, the “BAG FULL OR CLOG” light will again illuminate and the machine will shut off in 30 seconds.
The control panel is located on the power head.
