DESIGNED FOR CARPETS AND HARD FLOORS – The stylish FELIX
offers all the flexibility of a canister vacuum in an upright configu-
ration! It has a "flex" neck with amazing 180° steering ability, an
ultra-modern filtration system, a detachable suction unit that
becomes a hand-held vacuum, and an instant-use suction hose.
Detachable Suction Unit Creates a Hand-held
Portable Vacuum – By removing the power head
or nozzle, the FELIX instantly transforms from an
upright floor vacuum into a handheld portable
vacuum, ideal for cleaning stairs, upholstery and
car interiors. It can be easily carried using its side
handle or the optional shoulder strap attachment.
Superb aneuverability – A unique
180° turning swivel neck offers superb
maneuverability around and under fur-
niture.
A Flat-to-the-floor 6-inch Profile – The
vacuum’s low profile makes cleaning
under furniture and beds easy!
Instant-use Suction Hose – The integrated
instant-use suction hose is always ready! Just pull
it out to clean corners, crevices or furniture. Two
on-board tools and a range of optional attach-
ments can be fitted to the hose, such as a 20-inch
wand for cleaning hard-to-reach areas or a 9-foot
extension hose, which creates a total length of 15
feet...perfect for cleaning stairs.
Full Bag or Clog Indicator – When a full bag, a clog
in the airflow pathway, or an excessively dirty
microfilter is detected, an indicator gauge on the
bag housing lid “fills” with orange color and an air-
flow bypass valve opens, to prevent overheating
and motor damage from a lack of adequate airflow.
Three-level Adjustable Handle – This feature
provides compact storage, maneuverability
when suction unit is detached, and easy
adjustment to user height requirements.
Variable Suction Control on Handle with Soft Start –
The user can select the suction power needed,
from curtains to carpet. And its gradual power-up
extends motor life.
Innovative Exhaust Filter...Design and Function-
ality – Behind the stylish surface hides an ultra-
modern S-class exhaust microfilter that not only
provides excellent filtration, but it also absorbs
motor noise, resulting in extremely quiet operation.
Thirty-one Foot Cord with Rotating Quick-release
Hook – It is easy to quickly unwind the cord by
rotating the hook!
SEBO FELIX RODUCT FEATURES
ET Power Heads -
Designed for All Floor Surfaces.
The power head deep cleans carpets, or its spinning brush roller
can be shut off to clean delicate rugs and hard floors with straight
suction. It also has easy brush roller removal, and an orange warn-
ing light illuminates when brush height is set too high for optimal
cleaning, the bristles are worn, or automatic shut-off occurs due to
a brush obstruction.
Two Power Head Widths with One-sided Edge
Cleaning – The FELIX 1 Premium model is 12
inches wide with a 10 1⁄2-inch cleaning path. The
FELIX 2 Premium - Ice Blue is 14 3⁄4. inches wide
with a 13-inch cleaning path.
ulti-surface Cleaning Capabilities – With a
power head for carpets and a parquet brush for
hard floors, the FELIX PREMIUM provides all the
cleaning flexibility of a canister vacuum!
anual and Automatic Brush Shut Off – The FELIX can clean
delicate rugs or hard floors with straight suction because the
brush roller can be manually switched off by pressing the green
illuminated on/off button on the power head cover. Also, the
brush roller automatically shuts off when the suction hose is
removed from its housing port or when the handle is in its
upright locked position.
Brush Obstruction Light with Automatic
Brush Shut Off – If an obstruction jams the
brush roller, an orange warning light on the
power head illuminates and the brush roller
stops spinning. This feature prevents the belts
from breaking and protects the motor and car-
pet from damage.
Four-level anual Brush Height Adjustment – The brush can
be adjusted up or down for optimal cleaning effectiveness.
Easy Brush Removal and Cleaning – Cleaning
hair or other debris from the brush roller or
replacing it when its bristles are worn is quick
and easy, and no tools are required! This fea-
ture ensures consistently effective brush agita-
tion of the carpet pile.
Easy aintenance – The clog removal door and brush roller are
easy to access on the power head.

FELIX Premium odel Includes Power Head, Two On-board
Tools and Parquet Brush – Along with a commercial quality
power head, the FELIX Premium comes standard with a crevice
tool, upholstery nozzle and a premium parquet brush,
which is
perfectly designed for cleaning hard floors.
FELIX Kombi odel Includes Kombi Nozzle and Two On-board
Tools – The FELIX Kombi does not have a power head. Instead,
it includes a Kombi nozzle (a straight suction nozzle for hard
floors and rugs), crevice tool and upholstery nozzle. The Kombi
can accommodate a FELIX Premium power head, which can be
purchased separately.

STANDARD FEATURES OF ALL SEBO VACUUMS
55
Designed and anufactured in Germany – Legendary quality,
reliability and performance make SEBO vacuums the choice of
cleaning professionals throughout the world.
Excellent for Users With Allergies or Asthma – The British
Allergy Foundation recommends SEBO filters.
Tightly Sealed Vacuums Ensure Effective Filtration – Dirty air,
which flows through a vacuum, can only be filtered completely
if it does not escape into the room through seams or seals in
the machine. This is why all SEBO vacuums have tight seals
throughout. Many vacuum companies with high-filtration
claims are actually quoting specifications made by the manu-
facturer of the filter material, as measured in the laboratory,
not the filtration effectiveness of the vacuum itself while oper-
ating. Whether or not dirty air can escape through leaks in the
body of the machine is not considered. The filtration effective-
ness of SEBO vacuums is tested while they operate.
Save oney! SEBO Vacuums Last for Years and Extend Carpet
Life! – If properly maintained, SEBO vacuums save ordinary
residential users hundreds of dollars by providing excellent
performance for ten to fifteen years or more, and their deep-
cleaning power-brush technology extends the life of carpets.
Typical vacuums perform poorly, even when new, and usually
do not last beyond two years. So six or seven “disposable vacu-
ums” must be purchased during the average life expectancy of
just one SEBO machine.
Outstanding Warranty Coverage – SEBO 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.
SEBO icrofilters Ensure Continuously Strong Suction
Performance – They are also long lasting, inexpensive and easy
to change in seconds.
Changing Bags is Easy and Clean – SEBO fil-
ter bags can be changed in just a few sec-
onds, and a cap keeps dust sealed inside
during removal and disposal.
Effective Pet Hair Removal – All SEBO vac-
uums easily remove pet hair!
SEBO’s FILTRATION SYSTE :
Step One. Bags are Better! – On all models,
top-fill, three and four-layer bags are an
integral part of SEBO’s filtration system
because they hold virtually all dirt captured
by the vacuum, which improves the effec-
tiveness and useful life of the microfilters.
They also ensure continuously strong suc-
tion because dirt enters from the top,
deposits at the bottom, accumulates
upward, and air exits through the sides,
which allows unimpeded airflow as they fill
to capacity. And they can be sealed when
full, so no dust can escape into the air dur-
ing bag removal and disposal.
In contrast, without bags to hold nearly all
the captured dirt, the microfilters on bag-
less vacuums quickly clog from excessive
dirt build-up and must be replaced often, or
a loss of suction and cleaning effectiveness
will occur. In addition, dust and other aller-
gens become airborne when emptying bag-
less dirt containers. Lastly, bagless vacuum
microfilters are expensive, usually costing
more than a multi-year supply of SEBO fil-
ter bags.
Step Two. Pre-motor F lters – Pre-motor
filters clean suction air after it passes
through the filter bag, but before it passes
over the vacuum motor. Cooling the motor
with clean air is important because this
increases useful life expectancy.
Step Three. S-class Exhaust M crof lters –
S-class Exhaust Microfilters (S =“Schwebstoff”
= airborne particles) are made from electro-
statically charged micro-fiber material,
which attracts and captures dust particles
from the airflow of the vacuum after it pass-
es over the motor to cool it. This means that
exhaust air is cleaned to the highest level.
The S-class Standard requires filters to
absorb greater than 99.9% of particles down to 0.3 microns in
diameter. For comparison, 100 microns is the diameter of a
human hair. Their advantages are a relatively open texture that
allows smoother airflow for better suction performance, a
longer life expectancy, and they cost less than HEPA filters.

O TIONAL ATTACHMENTS, ACCESSORIES, BAGS & FILTERS
6
In addition to the standard on-board tools, a variety of optional
attachments are available. The 9-foot extension hose (extends
suction hoses) and the 20-inch extension tube are very popular
because they create useful tools for cleaning stairs and out-of-
reach areas.
The Dusting Brush, Straight Tube and Extension Hose
are sold separately and are also available as a 3-piece attachment
kit.
Another popular attachment is the hand-held Turbo Brush
with an
air driven rotating brush for removing pet hair from
upholstery and stairs.

O ERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Starting The achine - Figures 3, 4 & 5
Before turning on your vacuum cleaner, make sure that the vacuum 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. With the power switch (3) in the OFF position, turn the cable hook (17) to the
left or right to release the cable (4). Lift the cable off the upper cable hook -
see figure 3.
2. Adjust the telescopic handle tube (5) to the correct height by pulling out the
handle release lever (32) and gently pulling the tube out to lengthen, or push-
ing it in to shorten. The tube will click into place when it reaches one of the
three lengths available. Release the tab. If the tab does not fit snugly in place,
the tube is set at an incorrect setting. Pull or push the tube until it locks into
one of the three settings - see figure 4.
3. Plug the polarized power cord into a 120 volt wall outlet located near the floor.
4. Slide the On/OFF switch (3) downward toward the MAX position - see figure 5.
Operating the achine - Figures 5 & 6
You may adjust the suction control with the suction control slider (3) as you vacuum different sur-
faces or when using the accessory tools. Slide the button upward for less suction or downward for
more suction - see figure 5
When changing power heads and floor tools, always switch the vacuum off with the main power
switch (3), and then unplug the power cord. NOTE: When switching off the power switch, always
make sure the switch “clicks” into the OFF position before unplugging the power cord.
When you have finished using the vacuum, turn it off by sliding the on/off switch to the OFF posi-
tion. Then, unplug the cord and wind it onto the upper cable hook and upper hook. The rubber tip
on the end of the handle allows the vacuum to be propped against a wall without damage.
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
!

Using the Hose Handle, Hose & Attachments - Figures 6 & 7
The hose handle (19) is useful for vacuuming corners and hard-to-reach areas. You may use the hose
handle with or without an attachment. Pull the hose handle (19) from the suction opening (18) in the
side of the vacuum. Keep a firm hold on the handle grip while using the hose handle as it could tip
if the hose is pulled too far. The standard attachments [the crevice nozzle (22) and upholstery noz-
zle (23)] and optional attachments [the hand-held Turbo brush (24), dusting brush (25), straight tube
(26) and extension hose (27)] may be inserted onto the hose handle. It is not necessary to turn off the
vacuum while switching the attachments. NOTE: When using the hose and attachments, keep the
vacuum in its upright position.
To change a floor tool or power head, switch off the power and unplug the vacuum. Press the tool
release button (14) and pull the vacuum out of the swivel neck (20). Insert the vacuum into the new
tool and push down gently until it snaps into place. Plug the vacuum in and switch the power on.
Detachable Suction Unit - Figure 7
When detached from the power head, or floor tool, the FELIX transforms itself into a lightweight,
powerful suction unit, which can be carried around using its comfortable carrying handle (figure 7).
Ideal for cleaning stairs, car interiors or upholstery. To remove a floor tool or power head, switch off the power and unplug
the vacuum. Press the tool release button (14) and pull the vacuum out of the swivel neck (20).
Full Bag or Clog Indicator – Figure 4
When a full bag, a clog in the airflow pathway, or an excessively dirty microfilter is detected, an indicator gauge on the bag
housing lid (7) “fills” with orange color. 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 12). If the airflow is still restricted, the
“BA FULL OR CLO ” indicator will again display and the machine will shut off.

Operating with the Power Head - Figures 8, 9 & 10
When the power head is on with the handle in the upright locked position (see figure 8), the
brush roller on your power head will not spin.
To release the power head from the upright locked position, press down on the foot pedal
(#15, figure 9) and lower the handle into the normal operating position. The brush roller
will then start spinning and the green light on the power head will illuminate. The handle
can be lowered to a horizontal position useful for vacuuming under beds.
NOTE: the brush roller is off and stopped only when the machine is in an upright position
and the handle is completely locked in place, or when the hose handle is removed from the
side of the vacuum. If you have the machine at an angle, the brush roller will spin. Leaving
the machine in a stationary position for an extended period of time while the brush roller
is spinning may cause damage to your floor or carpet. You may also switch off the brush
roller by pressing the on/off switch (#35, figure 11) on the top of the power head.
You may adjust the suction control with the suction control slider (#3, figure 5) as you vac-
uum different surfaces or when using the accessory tools. For optimal cleaning and brush-
ing, operate the machine at the maximum suction power setting and push the power head
slowly over the carpet.
Always turn the power switch off when changing heads or unplugging the vacuum. Slide
the power control slider on to its OFF position, then unplug the vacuum when changing
heads or storing the vacuum. Make sure the handle is in its upright locked position before
letting go of the handle. NOTE: When switching off the power switch, always make sure the
switch “clicks” into the OFF position before unplugging the power cord.
The use of a power head is recommended for the optimal cleaning of carpets. The rotating
of the swivel neck (#20, figure 10) allows the power head to move in any direction.

The Brush Height Adjustment Feature - Figure 11
To manually adjust the brush height, rotate the dial (33) for high carpet (dial set-
ting 4) and progressively lower to bare floor (dial setting 1). The amber light
located on top of the power head (34) will illuminate if the height setting is too
high (the green light (35) will also be illuminated). Dial down to the next number
until the amber light turns off (the green light will stay illuminated). If the amber
light does not turn off, the brush roller may be worn. Intermittent flickering is
normal.

Indicator Lights - Figure 11
By pushing the foot pedal (figure 9) and lowering the handle, you activate the power head and the brush begins spinning.
Failure to use the foot pedal will cause lasting damage to the machine. The electronic brush control constantly monitors the
status of the brush, communicating the status through the lights on top.
Green and Amber Light: The brush is not fully engaged in the carpet. The height adjustment should be lowered. If the
(34 and 35, figure 11) height adjustment is at its lowest setting, the brush is worn and needs to be replaced.
Green Light Only: Brush is working well. We strongly recommend selecting a brush height that is only one level
(35, figure 11) beneath that at which both the green and amber lights are on. For maximum cleaning perform-
ance, the brush height adjustment can be lowered to its lowest setting.
Amber Light Only: The brush is blocked. Turn off the machine, unplug it, and then remove the blockage.
(34, figure 11)
To clean delicate or hard floor surfaces, the power head is equipped with an on/off switch (# 35, figure11). When this switch
is used to turn off the brush roller, the green indicator light is also turned off.
Figure 10

Brush Obstruction Light & Auto Shut Off – Figure 11
If an obstruction becomes jammed in the brush roller, an amber warning
light will quickly flash (34), the brush roller will immediately stop spinning
and the vacuum will shut off. The user should turn the power switch off, unplug
the machine, and immediately remove the obstruction. If the user restarts the
machine without removing the obstruction, the power head will again shut off
and the amber light will turn on.
This prevents the belt from breaking and pro-
tects the motor from damage.

OWER HEAD MAINTENANCE

out of the swivel neck.
Removing the Brush Roller - Figure 12
To remove the brush roller, press the button marked “PRESS” (36) and
turn the brush roller end cap (37) downward. Turn the brush (38) slight-
ly to the right and pull it out. We recommend regular removal of threads
and hair which have wound around the brush roller.
Cleaning the Brush Roller
Unplug the vacuum before attempting to clean the brush.
The brush should be cleaned regularly. Fibers and hair can be pulled out
of the brush while manually rotating the roller, or the roller can be
removed from the power head to clean it.
Always unplug vacuum from outlet before dismantling any part of the machine!

VACUUM MAINTENANCE
Changing the Filter Bag - Figures 17 & 18
To change the filter bag, set the canister upright, open the filter bag
cover (8) by pulling the cover release flap (10) upward (figure 17).
Seal the filter bag with the sealing cap (42). rasp the sealing plate
(44) of the filter bag with your thumb and forefinger as shown in fig-
ure 18 and lift the filter bag (43) out. Lower a new bag into the hold-
er, making sure that the 4 small tabs (indicated by arrows on the
sealing plate) fit into the appropriate grooves. The front tab (45) of
the sealing plate will fit loosely over the wire latch lock. Push the
filter bag cover (8) down firmly and snap the cover release flap (10)
into place. For your convenience, there is a diagram on every filter
bag showing the correct placement of the bag. Do not re-use the
filter bags. NOTE: The nature of the contents of the filter bag will
affect the point at which it needs changing. Fine dust may require
an earlier change even though the bag is not full. Fluff or hair allows
air to pass through easily, so the filter bag may overfill before the
orange “bag full” indicator displays.
Changing the Exhaust Filter - Figures 19 & 20
The exhaust filter (12) needs to be changed when it becomes
extremely dirty or clogged with dust, or after approximately 15 to
20 filter bags have been used. To remove the exhaust filter, set the
vacuum upright, and remove the filter retaining rings (13). To
release the filter retaining ring, use your thumb to push the retain-
ing ring clip the direction of the arrow, then pull the clip up. Pull the
plastic reinforced fabric strips out of the housing slot (48), and
remove the filter. To replace the filter, insert the plastic strip on one
end of the filter into the housing slot (48) and hold in place with one
hand while wrapping the filter around the machine, pulling it
taught. While holding the filter together, insert the top of the plas-
tic strip into the slot. While holding the top of the strip in place,
push the rest of the strip firmly into the slot. Replace the retaining
rings.
NOTE: When reassembling, please ensure that the exhaust
filter is fitted correctly in the housing slots and the filter retaining
rings are installed correctly. Otherwise, the filter will be ineffec-
tive.

Changing the otor Protection/Carbon Filter -
Figure 19
After 10 to 20 bags have been used, change the motor protec-
tion/carbon filter (46). To remove the filter, set the vacuum upright,
pull the cover release flap (10) outward and open the filter bag
cover (8). Remove the filter bag (see above). rasp the handle (47)
on the filter and pull it out. To replace, use the handle (47) to hold
on to and slide the new filter down into the bottom of the filter bag
housing. When correctly seated, it will snap into place. Insert the
filter bag, close the filter bag cover.
Figure 16
NOTE: Never operate the vacuum with incorrectly attached filters or without filters, filter bag, or filter bag housing
cover (8). Do not re-use filter bags. Do not wash and re-use filters.

When the “bag full” indicator (7) displays, airflow is reduced due to
a full filter bag, dirty filters, or a clog. If the filter bag is empty and
the filters are clean, you may have a clog. Refer to page 12.

CLOG REMOVAL
12
Clogs in the Hose - Figures 21, 22, 23 & 24
Check for suction at the end of the hose (6) by pulling the hose handle (19) out of the
suction opening (18). If you can only feel a small amount of suction, the clog is in the
hose. To clear a blockage in the hose, hold the hose handle upright with one hand
blocking the top and switch on the machine. Quickly lift your hand on and off the end
of the hose. If that does not clear the clog, you may also clear clogs by reversing the
hose. To remove the hose from the machine, lift the filter bag cover. Loosen the safe-
ty ring (#49, figure 23) located inside the cover by pushing the lever clockwise as
shown in figure 23. Remove the hose. Close the filter bag cover and insert the hose
handle into the connecting tube (#50, figure 24) of the filter cover. Hold the hose
upright with one hand blocking the top and switch on the machine. If necessary, quick-
ly lift your hand on and off the end of the hose. When the clog is cleared, remove the
hose handle from the connecting tube. Loosen the safety ring (49) and insert the other
end of the hose back into the connecting tube. Release the safety ring so that it
secures the hose. Make sure the hose is connected, then close the filter bag cover.
Note: Do not insert a wire or stick into the hose. Doing so may cause damage to the
hose.
Clogs in the Swivel Neck - Figure 25
To check for a clog in the swivel neck (20), remove the head by pressing the release but-
ton (14). Pull the vacuum out of the swivel neck. Clean out pathway.
Always unplug vacuum from outlet before removing any clogs!
