Maintenance
Changing the paper dustbag
Switch off and pull out the mains plug before
changing the dustbag.
Changing the paper dustbag is necessary when
the dustbag full indicator light comes on. We
recommend changing the dustbag even when it
does not appear to be full, but the indicator light still
comes on, 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 force!
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. 668 901 263.
Damage resulting from the use of any other dustbag is not covered by the Guaran-
tee. :
2AN1 7/92 GB/EU

2AN2 9/91 GB/EU - 2/W3 7/92 GB/EU
Changing the micro-filter
Switch off and pull out the mains plug before changing the micro-filter.
Changing the micro-filter is necessary:
For appliances with no micro-filter indicator — when the dustbag full indicator
lights up, even when a clean dustbag has been inserted, with the appliance switched
on, hold the head/nozzle upwards or off the floor, ifthe light remains on, this indicates
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-tfilter.
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 dustbag compartment
As and when necessary wipe the dustbag compartment with a damp cloth.

| Transportation and storage
For easier storage and for transporting the appli-
ance, slide the floor cleaning head or the
ROTOSOFT 1000 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 offand 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. 5
... the fuse blows or trips?
lf 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 electronic power control to 250 W before you
switch on, and only sélect a higher output level after switching on.
... the thread-collectors 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 cleaning 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 illustrated. 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.

2/WW6 9/91 GB/EU - 2/WW7 9/91 GB/EU
... 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.
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.
