IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ A INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE
3
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions must always be followed.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug; one blade is wider than
the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way. Connect only to the outlet type specified on the serial number plate underneath the machine.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

SEBO ESSENTIAL G PRODUCT FEATURES

SEBO Vacuums Sav Mon y! – S BO vacuums are the highest
quality machines available. In fact, if properly maintained,
S BO vacuums can save ordinary residential users hundreds
of dollars by providing excellent performance for ten to fifteen
years or more. Typical vacuums perform poorly and usually do
not last beyond two years. So, in the long run, S BO vacuums
cost less money than the five to six other vacuums purchased
during that time period.
Outstanding Warranty Cov rag – S BO is confident about the
quality of all its vacuums. Therefore, all models include a five-
year warranty on the motor and all non-wear parts.
Brush Obstruction Light & Auto Shut Off –
If an obstruction becomes jammed in the
brush roller, a red warning light will quick-
ly flash, the brush roller will immediately
stop spinning and the vacuum will shut off.
This prevents the belt from breaking and
protects the motor from damage.
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 sec-
onds and the red “CH CK BRUSH” light will flash.
Bag Full or Clog Light & Auto Shut Off – A
warning light will illuminate and the
machine will automatically shut off, when it
senses a full bag, a clog in the airflow path-
way, or an excessively dirty micro filter.
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 10). 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.
This feature prevents damage to the motor due to overheating.
Incorr ct H ight S tting or Worn Brush
Light – When the brush height is set too
high for optimal cleaning or when the
brush roller should be replaced due to
wear, the
red “CH CK BRUSH” light will
illuminate (after a 10 second delay) to notify
the user that the brush roller is set incor-
rectly or worn. If the red “CH CK BRUSH” light flashes continu-
ously while the head is in position 1 (after a 10 second delay), it is
signalling 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.
D sign d for All Floor Surfac s: Four-l v l Manual Brush
H ight Adjustm nt – The brush height can be manually adjust-
ed up or down for optimal cleaning effectiveness.
Easy Brush Roll r R moval – Quick brush
cleaning or replacement is easy, and no
tools are required!
Vacuum Motor – The SS NTIAL G has a 1300 watt motor.
Forty-foot Cord – A 40-foot cord saves time because it mini-
mizes the number of electrical outlets needed during use.
Durabl Matt Finish – The SS NTIAL G has an exterior
housing with a special matte finish that is scratch and scuff-
resistant, so it looks great even after years of use.
Durabl H avy-duty B lts - The reinforced
toothed belts do not slip or stretch, resulting
in a more efficient use of power, and they
should last the life of the machine.
Instant-us Wand and Suction Hos – The
integrated instant-use wand or suction
hose is always ready. Just pull out either
tool, or both together, to clean hard-to-
reach corners, edges and crevices. The
suction hose is ideal for cleaning furniture.
And an optional nine-foot extension hose is
available, which creates a total hose length
of 15 feet, perfect for cleaning stairs.
Choose from a range of optional attach-
ments that can be fitted to the wand or hose. The wand and
hose together have an eight-foot reach for instant cleaning of
hard-to-reach areas.

Soft Start F atur – The vacuum’s gradual power-up capabili-
ty extends motor life.
Combination Carrying Handl with Rotating Cord Hook – The
vacuum is easy to carry, or quickly unwind the cord, using its
unique handle with integrated rotating cord hook.
Micro Filt rs ar In xp nsiv and Easy to Chang – Unlike
most other vacuums, S BO’s replacement micro filters are
reasonably priced and can be easily changed in seconds, with-
out any tools. And the micro filters last a long time before
replacements are necessary because nearly all dust particles
and debris are first captured by the three-layer filter bags.
Anti-all rgy Hospital-grad , S-class
Filtration –
Certified by leading Allergy
foundations in urope, the SS NTIAL G-
Series vacuum provides
the user with S-Class fil-
tration of 99.9% of parti-
cles to 0.3 microns. This
is accomplished by the
S BO three-step filtra-
tion system. First, the
three-layer full-size filter bag (a) collects
the vast majority of the debris. Then, the
remainder of the particles are collected by
the hospital-grade microfilter (b). Finally,
the micro-exhaust filter (c) cleans the
exhaust air that the vacuum emits. S BO’s
unwavering attention to the complete
sealing of the machine ensures no dust or
dirt escapes around the microfilters. The
SS NTIAL G is perfect for allergy or asth-
ma sufferers.
Eff ctiv P t Hair R moval – All
S BO vacuums easily remove pet
hair.
R markably Qui t Op ration –
Intelligent design and high-qual-
ity motors combine to provide
amazingly quiet vacuums.
Two Pow r H ad Widths –
The SS NTIAL G1 is 12
inches wide, with a
cleaning width of 10 ½
inches. The SS NTIAL
G2 is 15 inches wide,
with a cleaning width of
13 ¼ inches. Both heads
have one-sided edge cleaning.
A Flat-to-th -floor, 5.5-inch Profil – Such a low profile makes
cleaning under furniture and beds easy!
Thr On-board, Full-siz Tools and Larg Filt r Bag – The
vacuum comes standard with a crevice nozzle, dusting brush
and upholstery nozzle, and a large 1.4 gallon filter bag. Many
optional accessories are also available.
Lib ration from Bagl ss! SEBO Bags ar
Hygi nic – The three-layer filter bag is an
integral part of S BO’s filtration system
because it effectively contains nearly all
dirt captured by the vacuum. And S BO
bags can be sealed when full, so no dust
can escape into the air during disposal. In
contrast, a lot of dust becomes airborne when emptying the
dirt containers of bagless vacuums, and their micro filters
quickly clog and must be replaced often, or a loss of suction
will occur. And bagless vacuum micro filters are expensive,
usually costing much more than S BO’s filter bags.
Crevice Nozzle Dusting Brush Upholstery Nozzle
In addition to the standard on-board tools, a variety of
optional attachments are available. The nine-foot exten-
sion hose (extends suction hoses) and the 19-inch exten-
sion tube (extends instant-use wands) are very popular
because they create useful tools for cleaning stairs and
out-of-reach areas. These two items are sold separately or
as part of multiple item attachment kits. Another popular
attachment is the hand held turbo brush for removing pet
hair from upholstery.
xtension Tube Nine-foot xtension Hose Charcoal Odor Filter Hand-held Turbo Brush Radiator BrushFilter Bags
S BO filter bags can be purchased in boxes of ten (or some-
times eight) and filters are sold separately. S BO bags, fil-
ters and accessories are reasonably priced and widely avail-
able.
To create a fresh scent while vacuuming, “S BO FR SH” is
available. To use, deposit a scented stick in the filter bag.

Starting The Machine -Figures 1 & 2
Before turning on your vacuum cleaner, make sure that the vacuum
handle is in its upright locked position and that you have a firm hold on the
handle grip to keep the machine from moving forward.
1. Turn the quick release cable hook (14) to the up position
by moving it to the left or right (figure 1).
2. Release the power cord plug from the power cord
and lift the cord off of the upper cord hook (27 - figure 2).
3. With the switch (2) in the “O” (OFF) position (figure 2), plug the
polarized power cord into a 120 volt outlet located near the floor.

Operating Positions -Figure 3
To release the machine from the upright locked position, press down on the
foot pedal (19) and lower the handle into the normal operating position.
The handle can be lowered to an intermediate stop position in order to lift up
the brush head for maneuvering over rugs, etc. To lower the handle to a hor-
izontal position useful for vacuuming under beds, the foot pedal must be
pressed a second time. The intermediate stop position can be closed off by
the orange-colored slider (28) on the back of the swivel neck (20), so that the
handle will go from vertical to horizontal in one movement.
WARNING! Th quality, condition, coating, t xtur , ag and manufacturing t chniqu of all floor surfac s vary. Th r -
for , upright vacuums with rotating brush s, including your SEBO, may damag som floor cov rings or surfac s. Som typ s
of high-gloss hardwood floors, cushion vinyl, b rb r carp ts, long shag, and d licat or hand-wov n carp ts ar particularly vul-
n rabl to damag by rotating brush s. Wh n possibl , consult th mat rials suppli d by your floor’s manufactur r for infor-
mation on prop r upk p and cl aning. 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!

The attachment tube (15) is useful for vacuuming corners and hard-to-reach
areas. The handle grip (1) should be in the upright, locked position (as shown in
figure 4). Grip the attachment tube handle (11), pull it up and away from the
machine and stretch out the hose (12) until it locks to the back of the tube (this
locking action will prevent the hose from retracting back into the attachment tube
while it is in use). Various attachments may be inserted onto the end of the tube.
After use, remove attachment and re-insert the attachment tube into the back of
the machine. Be sure that the attachment tube handle (11) is inserted over the
projection tab (see #23, page 6). If the attachment tube handle is properly seat-
ed over the projection tab, the hose will automatically retract and you may resume
vacuuming. There is no need to turn off the vacuum while switching from upright
vacuuming to using the attachment tube or hose.
To use the hose without the attachment tube (as shown in figure 5), pull the hose out
of the attachment tube while the tube is still attached to the machine and securely
seated over the projection tab (23). Insert an attachment tool, if desired, onto the
end of the flexible hose. You may also release the hose while the attachment tube is
disengaged from the machine by pressing the release button (27) at the base of the
handle (11).
While using attachment tools, you may keep the brush roller off the carpet by
placing the handle (1) in its upright locked position and lowering the handle with
one hand to raise the brush roller off of the floor. Operate attachment accessories
with the other hand. Or, with the handle in the upright locked position, the
machine may be tipped backward so that it rests on the back side of the bag hous-
ing (6), and the power head is locked in a perpendicular position to the floor.
nsure that no children or pets can come into contact with the spinning brush
roller.
To vacuum walls, under beds, or higher-reach areas, etc., the S BO SS NTIAL G
can be fitted with an additional straight tube (45) and the wall and floor brush (41).
The machine will then perform as a canister vacuum (as shown in figure 6).
The pile adjustment wheel (18) has 4 brush height settings. Setting 1 is the lowest
brush setting and setting 4 is the highest brush setting. When starting the vacuum,
always start with the knob set at 4, then lower knob settings until the brush reach-
es the proper height. The red brush light on the display panel will light after 6 sec-
onds if the brush is too high. Adjust the knob down. If after 6 seconds, the brush light
stays unlit, the brush is at the proper setting for the pile. The red brush light will
also illuminate if the setting is too low. Adjust the knob up until the light stays unlit
after 6 seconds.
The Height Adjustment Wheel - Figure 8
Red light (A): Off – Operation of machine is normal
Red light (A): Continuous – change bag or clear clog in the hose or power
head.
Red light (A): Flashing and motor off – dust bag is full, or clog in the hose or

CLOG REMOVAL
Clogs in the Airflow Pathway - Figure 13
Most clogs can be removed by accessing the airflow pathway via the orange col-
ored access door (39) located on the underside of the power head. However,
other clogs may only be removed by accessing the airflow pathway by disas-
sembling the machine in the opposite sequence of the machine’s original
assembly (see assembly, page 6).
Clogs in the Attachment Hose - Figure 14
Blockages in the hose can be cleared by removing the attachment hose (12)
from the machine by squeezing the retaining ring (4) and inserting the opposite
end of the hose in the connecting tube (24). Hold the hose upright with one hand
blocking the top end and switch on the machine. If necessary, quickly lift your
hand on and off the end of the hose. If this procedure does not clear the clog, a
straight wire can be inserted into the hose to push out the clog. Take care not
to puncture the hose with the wire.
Clogs in the Attachment Tube (Active Wand) - Figure 15
Remove attachment hose (12) from the attachment tube (15) by pressing the
hose release button (27). Then, grip attachment tube handle (11) and remove
tube from the machine. A straight wire can be inserted into the tube to push out
the clog.
Clogs in Entrance to Dust Bag - Figure 16
Remove attachment hose (12) from vacuum cleaner (see figure 14) and remove
front cover (7). Clean out connecting tube (24) and/or entrance to bag (40).
Clogs in the Swivel Neck - Figure 17
Clogs in the swivel neck (20) can be removed by first pressing the housing
release button (8) and lifting off the dust bag housing (6). Lift upward firmly and
evenly to properly remove the dust bag housing. Then, release the foot pedal
(19), lower the swivel neck, check inside the swivel neck channel closest to the
foot pedal (see arrow), and clean out pathway.
