The combination head COMFORT PRO (3) can be adjusted to hard floors (bristles out) or carpets (bristles in) through the pedal (4).

SEBO PARQUET* (25):

SEBO has developed this tough and durable parquet brush for optimum hard floor cleaning. The “flex” neck (24) design provides superb manoeuvrability. Natural bristles and soft wheels make the SEBO PARQUET ideal for any type of hard flooring, delicate, uneven, or otherwise. The brushes float up and down to adjust to surface undulations to achieve ultimate performance. The front and rear brush strips are removable for easy replacement.
To change the natural bristle brush strips of the SEBO KOMBI and SEBO PARQUET, remove the yellow cap with a screw driver and pull out the bristle brush strip. After changing the bristle brush strip, the cap has to click into place again.

The SEBO ET is equipped with  manual brush height adjustment and brush on/off control. The power head provides tothe-edge brush action and effective all round cleaning. This power head has a separate instruction manual which gives detailed information of its use.

Floor Turbo Brush SEBO TT-C* (27)

The brush roller of the turbo brush SEBO TT-C is powered by the air stream of the vacuum cleaner. The SEBO TT-C removes pet hairs and fibres from carpets and rugs, yet is gentle and very easy to use. For more information please see the separate SEBO TT-C instruction manual.

Stair & Upholstery Turbo Brush SEBO PT-C* (28):

The brush roller is powered by the air stream and is ideal for cleaning small or awkward areas of carpet. It lifts the pile and gives superior fibre/hair pick up.

Maintenance and servicing

Use only genuine SEBO replacement bags and filters to ensure performance, longevity and safety. Do not wash filters.
If the orange light (12) is on, then the air stream is reduced. The orange light indicates a full filter bag or a blockage (see removing blockages). Vacuuming fine dust may require an earlier change even though the filter bag is not full. Fluff may overfill the bag without the light coming on.
The light only works correctly at full power.
At lower levels, the orange light (12) might not indicate correctly. Therefore check the status regularly at full power.
Some SEBO AIRBELT™ K models are equipped with an operating mode display, which turns green when the vacuum cleaner is on, regardless of the position of the slider in the handle.

Changing the filter bag

To change the filter bag (29), put the machine upright and press the catch (30) to unlock the filter bag cover (19). Seal the filter bag with the sealing cap (31) and lift it out.
Please ensure that the filter bag top (32) is located properly on both sides of the filter bag holder (33) and pushed in until it locks. The cover (19) can only be closed with a correctly fitted filter bag.

Hospital-Grade-Filter / Micro-Filter K

The SEBO AIRBELT™ K comes with a triple micro filter/ S-Class-Filtration System, which is the perfect choice for customers with allergies and asthma.
The air flows through three high efficiency micro filters: the Ultra-Bag™ (29), the Hospital-Grade-Filter/ Micro-Filter K* (34) and the Micro-Hygiene- Filter K (35).

All SEBO AIRBELT™ K vacuum cleaners can be upgraded with the Hospital-Grade- Filter to achieve S-Class-Filtration.
We recommend changing all filters regularly, either if they have become very dirty, or once 16 filter bags have been used.
The Hospital-Grade-Filter/ Micro-Filter K (34) can be pulled out once the filter bag cover (19) has been removed by sliding it up and out of the grooves (36). To replace the filter bag cover slide it back into the two grooves.
Please ensure that the bottom of the filter bag (29) is placed into the filter bag cover before closing.

Micro-Hygiene-Filter K

The Micro-Hygiene-Filter K (37) can be changed by removing the printed cover on top of the machine (38). To release the cover lift the catch (39) in the upholstery nozzle recess. Pull out the Micro-Hygiene-Filter K using its handle (40) and fit the new filter in the same position. Please note that the filter handle should point towards the upholstery nozzle, when it is folded down. Replace the filter cover (38) and push until it locks into place.

AIRBELT™ bumper guard

Your new vacuum cleaner is fitted with the patented AIRBELT™ (16) shock absorber system, which protects your walls and furniture and eliminates exhaust air blast.
The AIRBELT™ (16) can easily be changed if necessary. Take the clip (17) off and remove the AIRBELT™. The foam part (41) stays on the machine. To fit the new AIRBELT™ slot the side rails into the grooves (42). Start at the back and proceed round the machine. Secure the ends with the clip (17).

Removing blockages

If the orange light (12) remains on after the filter bag has been changed and the filters are in good condition, there is likely a blockage in the system. First, check for suction at the end of the hose (7). If you can only feel a small amount of suction, the blockage is in the hose. To unblock, squeeze the retaining rings (9) respectively push the catch (10) at the hose end (8) and remove the hose from the neck. Next, release the telescopic tube (5) from the hose handle (6) by pressing the catch (43). Turn the machine on at full power. Reverse the airflow through the hose by fitting the handle (6) into the neck (44). Stretch the hose in the spot where the blockage is and close the free end of the hose repeatedly with your hand.

Never clean down the hose with a stick or a pointed object.
