ner.)
• The mains circuit for the socket used
must be protected with a fuse with a
rating of at least 10 A.
• Prior to performing maintenance or
cleaning, ensure that the appliance is
switched off and unplugged from the
mains.
• Never remove the mains plug from the
socket by pulling on the cable.
• Do not use the appliance if:
– the mains lead is damaged,
– the housing shows visible signs of
damage.
• Avoid running over the mains cable
with the appliance. The insulation
could be damaged.
•Repairs to electrical appliances are
only to be performed by qualified
service engineers. Improper repairs
can give rise to significant hazards
for the user.
• In the case of a malfunction, please
therefore contact your dealer or AEG
customer service directly.
• Ensure that a paper filter and a
MICROFILTER are always fitted.
• Leave wet shampooed carpets to dry

Changing the Filters
1. Paper Filter

0Remove the paper filter (Figure 8).
2Bags full of normal household dust
may be disposed of with household
rubbish. If necessary, wipe out the
filter compartment with a damp cloth.
0Place the new paper filter on the filter
carrier (Figure 9).
2. MICROFILTER
1Please note: The MICROFILTER must
also be replaced every fifth paper
filter change (Figure 10) to maintain
optimum suction performance.
By renewing the MICROFILTER in
good time you will ensure good
suction performance and reduce the
amount of time spent vacuuming.
0Insert the lid into the appliance and
close by pressing it into place
(Figure 11).
1Please use original AEG paper filters, or
paper filters that carry the AEG quality
seal. They guarantee high suction
performance and reliability.
Paper filters can be obtained from
specialist retailers under E No. 900 084
290 or from AEG customer service
under ET No. 109 990 106.
The guarantee is void in the event of
damage if you use other paper filters.
Every packet of original size 6 AEG
paper filters contains 10 paper filters
and 2 MICROFILTERS.
Using the Floor Nozzle
For the daily care of carpets and hard
floors.
The floor nozzle is suitable for univer-
sal use in the daily vacuuming of
carpets and hard floor coverings such
as parquet, tiles, linoleum, etc. without
the need to switch the nozzle manu-
ally. The four rollers and two large
wheels at the rear make the appliance
easy to manoeuvre. The additional
rotating joint makes your vacuum
cleaner particularly agile.
The rollers ensure that the separation
between the floor and underside of the
nozzle is always constant – this makes
it possible to vacuum hard floors
without problems.
Converting into a Handheld
Appliance / Using the Crevice
Nozzle
The vacuum cleaner is also easy to use
as a handheld appliance.
0Fold down the handle (Figure 4/C).
0Remove the floor nozzle (Figure 3) and
fit the crevice nozzle (Figure 6).

cable winder.
0Simply take hold of the plug and pull
out the mains cable.
0To rewind the cable, press the cable
rewind button (Figure 2/E).
3You can press the mains cable into the
clip on the upper part of the handle
(Figure 13).
Storage
3The appliance can be stored in a
manner that saves a considerable
amount of space. Simply fold up the
handle (Figure 4/C). Leave the floor
nozzle fitted to the vacuum cleaner so
that it can stand up on its own
(Figure 14). The crevice nozzle can be
stored on the rear of the appliance
(Figure 15).
2Protecting the Environment

rial away.
– The cardboard packaging can be
deposited in the waste paper collec-
tion container or the relevant waste
disposal system.

polyethylene (PE) at a PE collection
point for recycling.
Please inquire with your local authority
about your local recycling centre.
