SEBO AIRBELT E PRODUCT FEATURES

Bag Full or Clog Indicator & Auto Shut Off – The warning indicator will show orange when it senses a full bag, a clog in the airflow pathway, or an excessively dirty micro filter. If the user ignores this warning, the suction motor will shut off to protect itself from damage, usually within 6-10 minutes.
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) and restart the machine. If the airflow is still restricted, the indicator will again show orange and the above sequence will be repeated.

Shock Absorber Provides Furniture and Wall Protection – The patented "AIRBELT" bumper that surrounds the E canisters acts as a protective barrier. The soft foam bumper with its durable textile cover protects furniture, walls and the vacuum itself from damage during use. The bumper also diffuses exhaust air, which contributes to its ultra-quiet performance.

Quick-release Connections – The AIRBELT E models allow for quick and convenient connection of telescopic tubes, power brush heads, accessory cleaning heads and on-board tools.

Comfortable Ergonomic Handle – The AIRBELT handles are ergonomically designed and positioned to reduce wrist and arm fatigue. For extra comfort, an additional swivel is built into the handle-to-hose connection.

Mid-sized Canister Vacuum – The AIRBELT E models are considered mid-size canister vacuums, which means they are smaller, more compact machines that offer three full-size on-board tools and a large filter bag with a capacity of.92 gallons. The large capacity filter bag is economical because fewer bag changes are needed. An indicator window turns orange when the filter bag needs to be replaced, and closing its built-in hygiene cap prevents dust from escaping during bag removal and disposal.

Three Protective, Rubber-coated Wheels, mounted on steel axles – The superb rubber-coated castor-wheels glide easily and gently over all floor types, providing exceptional maneuverability and protection of floor surfaces.

Flat-to-the-floor 3-1/2" Profile – A low cleaning-head profile makes reaching under furniture and beds easy!

Long, 25-foot cord and 37-foot Operating Range - The large cleaning radius saves time because it can clean large areas without changing electrical outlets. Plus, the 7-foot suction hose provides superb user maneuverability.

Push-button Cord Rewinder – The super-long power cord rewinds by simply pressing a button.

Large-capacity Filter Bags – The.92-gallon filter bag is convenient and economical because fewer bag changes are needed, and closing its built-in hygiene cap prevents dust from escaping during bag removal and disposal.

Convenient Parking and Storage Aids – After the work is done, the suction hose with telescopic tube and Parquet Brush, Turbo Brush or Kombi Nozzle can be firmly stored on the canister's underside or backside housing.

Three Full-size On-board Tools – The vacuum comes standard with a crevice nozzle, dusting brush and upholstery nozzle. The dusting brush is mounted on the telescopic tube, and the crevice and upholstery nozzles are on the canister. Many optional accessories are also available.

AIRBELT E1 Kombi and E2 Turbo

The SEBO AIRBELT E1 Kombi and E2 Turbo are straight-suction vacuums. As a result, they differ from the AIRBELT E3 Premium in the following two ways:
Suction-control Knob on Canister Body – Because the E1 and E2 models have hoses and telescopic tubes without power cords, their suction-control knobs are located on their canister bodies, not the handles.

Can Not Use a Power Brush – The AIRBELT E1 Kombi and the AIRBELT E2 Turbo do not have an electrified telescopic tube and hose; therefore, they do not accommodate an electrified power brush. Instead, the AIRBELT E1 Kombi comes standard with the Kombi Nozzle, and the AIRBELT E2 Turbo comes standard with the TT-C Turbo Head for carpet and a Parquet Brush for hard floors. Both models clean hard floors and rugs.
Can Not Use a Power Brush

AIRBELT E3 PREMIUM

Designed for All Floor Surfaces.
AIRBELT E3 Premium:
The AIRBELT E3 has an electrified hose and telescopic tube designed to accommodate the ET-1 power head. The ET-1 power head is designed to provide thorough brushing for optimal cleaning of carpets.

Both Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaning – With a power brush to clean carpets and a parquet brush to clean hard floors, the AIRBELT E3 provides all the flexibility needed to care for a variety of floor surfaces. The parquet brush comes standard.

High-quality Telescopic Tube and Hose – On the E3, the power cord is built inside the telescopic tube and suction hose. Parquet Brush This eliminates unsightly external wires and enables unobstructed and convenient handle height adjustment.

Suction-adjustment Slider – The vacuum's suction power can be adjusted from 0 to 1,200 watts by a slider switch conveniently located on the handle.

Brush Roller Switch on Handle - To switch from brushing action to straight suction for delicate floors, press the brush roller power switch on the handle. This will power off the brush roller on the power head. All indicator lights on the power head will turn off until the brush roller button is switched on again.

Powerful Vacuum Motors Provide Excellent Cleaning – The canister suction motor is 1,200 watts, and the power head motor is 175 watts (ET-1), for a total of 1,375 watts.

The SEBO ET-1 (12" wide, 10 1⁄2" cleaning width) – This power head delivers cleaning flexibility because its brush action aggressively cleans carpeting, but the brush roller may be switched off on the handle, so delicate rugs and hard floors can be cleaned with straight suction. Its amazing 180° steering ability provides maneuverability around furniture, and the extension side of the L-shaped head makes cleaning edges and under counters easy.

Brush Obstruction Light & Auto Shut Off – If an obstruction becomes jammed in the brush roller, a red brush-warning light will quickly flash, 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 red light will flash. This prevents the belt from breaking and protects the motor and carpet from damage.

Incorrect Height Setting or Brush Deterioration Light – To ensure optimum cleaning at all times, a red brush-warning light will illuminate, to indicate when the brush height is set too high for effective cleaning or when the brush roller should be replaced due to excessive wear.

OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS, ACCESSORIES, BAGS & FILTERS

In addition to the standard on-board tools, a variety of optional attachments are available. The 9' 2" extension hose (extends suction hoses) and the 22" extension wand are very popular because they create useful tools for cleaning stairs and out-of-reach areas. Another popular attachment is the Hand-held Turbo Brush for removing pet hair from upholstery.
SEBO AeraPure™ filter bags can be purchased in boxes of eight and filters are sold separately. SEBO bags, filters and accessories are reasonably priced and widely available. To create a fresh scent while vacuuming, SEBO FRESH is available. To use, deposit a scented stick in the filter bag.

OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS, ACCESSORIES, BAGS & FILTERSNOTE: The optional Premium Parquet Brush and Premium Kombi Nozzle have brush strips that are removable for cleaning and replacement. To change the brush strip, rem ove the yellow cap with a screw driver and pull out the brush strip. After inserting the new brush strip, the cap has to click into place again.

STANDARD FEATURES OF ALL SEBO VACUUMS

SEBO's FILTRATION SYSTEM:
Bagged vs. Bagless. . . Bags are Better! – Top-fill, three-layer AeraPure™ Bags are an integral part of SEBO's filtration system because they hold virtually all the dirt captured by the vacuum, which improves the effectiveness and useful life of the microfilters. They also ensure continuously strong suction 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 tightly sealed with a hygiene cap when full, so no dust can escape into the air during bag removal and disposal.
In contrast, without bags to hold nearly all the captured dirt, the microfilters on bagless 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 allergens become airborne when emptying bagless dirt containers. Lastly, bagless vacuum microfilters are expensive, usually costing more than a multi-year supply of SEBO filter bags.

S-class, Pre-motor and/or Exhaust Microfilters – S-class, Pre-motor and Exhaust Microfilters (S ="Schwebstoff" = airborne particles) are made from electrostatically charged, micro-fiber material, which attracts and captures dust particles from the airflow of the vacuum before and after it passes over the motor to cool it. Cooling the motor with super-clean air increases motor life and reduces the possibility of maintenance, even after many years of use. Also, the exhaust air is cleaned to the highest level before being emitted from the machine. 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.

HEPA, Pre-motor and/or Exhaust Microfilters (Optional) – HEPA Microfilters ("High Efficiency Particulate Air") remove a minimum of 99.97% of all airborne particulate matter down to 0.3 microns in diameter. Because these filters use small, gridlike structures to capture dust particles, dirt build-up clogs the airflow pathway sooner than what is expected from S-class microfilters. However, SEBO's HEPA microfilters are sold along with three-layer AeraPure™ bags, which provide highly effective filtration before the airflow goes through the HEPA microfilter, greatly increasing life expectancy and reducing the potential of diminished air flow.
HEPA, Pre-motor and/or Exhaust Microfilters (Optional)

Designed and Manufactured in Germany – Legendary quality, reliability and performance make SEBO vacuums the first choice of cleaning professionals throughout the world.

World's Best Pet Vacuums – Because of superior power-head and brush-roller technology, SEBO vacuums are the world's best for pet hair removal!

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 manufacturer of the filter material, as measured in the laboratory, not the filtration effectiveness of the vacuum itself while operating. Whether or not dirty air can escape through leaks in the body of the machine is not considered. The filtration effectiveness of SEBO vacuums is tested while they operate.

Reliable, Commercial-grade Components – All SEBO vacuums are constructed with thick, reinforced, ABS plastic, aluminum and metal parts, steel axles and bearings, and high-end, quality motors. Therefore, SEBO users own reliable, long-lasting vacuum cleaners. Competing vacuums are made with thin, flimsy, inexpensive, plastic materials, none of which are reinforced, and typically have useful lifespans of one or two years.

Rubber Wheels and Soft Bumpers Protect Homes – Smoothgliding, rubber wheels protect hard floors and provide exceptional maneuverability. In addition, the bumpers that surround the power heads and the soft AIRBELT bumpers that surround SEBO's canisters protect furniture, walls, and vacuum housings from incurring scuffs and scratches during use.

Advanced, Brush-roller Technology – SEBO's brush rollers are uniquely designed to funnel hair and debris into the power head's airflow channel, which improves vacuum cleaning performance on all flooring surfaces.

Changing Bags is Easy and Clean – SEBO filter bags can be changed in just a few seconds, and a hygiene cap keeps dust sealed inside during removal and disposal.

Save Money! 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 deepcleaning, 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 vacuums" must be purchased during the average life expectancy of just one SEBO machine.

Incredible Warranty Coverage – All SEBO models include a FREE seven-year warranty on the motor and five-years on nonwear parts and labor charges.

Bag Full or Clog Indicator & Auto Shut-Off - Figure 13
When the "BAG FULL OR CLOG" indicator, located on top of the canister (15), illuminates, airflow is reduced due to a full bag, a clog in the airflow pathway, or an excessively dirty filter. Turn the power off, unplug the machine and immediately insert a new bag or remove the clog.
If the user ignores the warning indicator, the motor will shut off to protect itself from damage. The user should turn the power off, unplug the machine and immediately insert a new bag or remove the clog. If the airflow is still restricted, the "BAG FULL OR CLOG" indicator will illuminate again and the machine will shut off.
Vacuuming fine dust may require an earlier filter bag change even though the filter bag is not full.
Fluff may overfill the bag without the light coming on.
The bag full indicator works more efficiently at full power. Check the bag full status regularly at full suction power.


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 vulnerable to damage by rotating brushes. When possible, consult the materials supplied by your flooring manufacturer for information on proper upkeep and cleaning. 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!

VACUUM MAINTENANCE

warningAlways unplug vacuum from outlet! before dismantling any part of machine!

Changing the Filter Bag - Figures 20, 21 & 22

To change the filter bag (40), lift the filter bag release catch (17, figure 20) then lift open the filter bag cover (12). Seal the used filter bag with the sealing cap (41). Tilt the green sealing plate collar up (42, figure 21) and lift the bag out. Slide the front of the sealing plate (42) of a new bag vertically into the bag holder (43, figure 22). Line up the sealing plate so that the U-shaped metal spring (44) is positioned in the slot (44) of the collar and tilt it back into place. Close the cover, making sure it snaps shut completely. The cover will not close if the bag is inserted improperly. 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 "bag full" indicator turns orange. The "bag full or clog" indicator works correctly only at full power. At lower power levels, the "bag full or clog" indicator may read incorrectly. Check the status of the filter bag regularly at full power.

Changing the Pre-motor Filter - Figure 23

The pre-motor filter (46) needs to be changed when it becomes extremely dirty or clogged with dust, or after approximately 10 to 20 filter bags have been used. To change the premotor filter, lift the filter bag release catch (17, figure 20), lift open the filter bag cover (12) and remove the filter bag. Grasp the tab at the bottom of the filter (47, figure 23) and pull the filter out and up. When the filter is horizontal, lift it out of the holder (48). Insert the new filter into the holder horizontally (48) then swing it downward until the tab (47) locks into place. Replace the filter bag and the filter bag cover.

Changing the Exhaust Microfilter - Figures 24, 25 & 26

After 10 to 20 bags have been used, change the exhaust microfilter (49).

The upper side rail of the textile has a mark (55, figure 31). Insert the upper side rail with the mark into the groove which is marked "TOP" (56, figure 31) Start from one end and continue fitting the textile into the grooves around the bumper (figure 32). Fit the bumper assembly to the front of the machine, then press in around the sides toward the rear (figure 33).
Refit the upholstery tool holder (51) under the parking groove (22) and tilt it down to lock it into the lower side. Finally, re-insert the upholstery tool.

Note: Never operate the vacuum with incorrectly attached filters or without filters, bag, AIRBELT textile or filter bag housing cover (12). Do not re-use filter bags. Do not wash and re-use filters.

CLOG REMOVAL

warning Always unplug vacuum from outlet before removing any clogs!
NOTE! E3 users with ET-1 power heads, please refer to your power head user's manual for more detailed instructions for removing clogs in your power head. If the "bag full or clog" warning indicator (15) remains orange after the filter bag has been changed and the filters are in good condition, there is likely a clog in the system.

Clogs in the Head or Brush - Figure 34
Clogs in the swivel neck (56) of a head or brush can be cleared by first pressing the tool release button (6) and removing the brush or head. Check inside the swivel neck channel, and clean out pathway.

Clogs in the Hose - Figures 35, 36 & 37
Check for suction at the handle end of the hose. If you feel reduced suction, the blockage is in the hose. To clear blockages in the hose (8), remove the handle (1) from the telescopic tube by pressing the handle release button (3). Hold the hose upright with one hand blocking the end of the handle (figure 36) and switch on the machine at full power. If necessary, quickly lift your hand on and off the end of the hose.
Note: Do not insert a wire or stick into the hose. Doing so may cause damage to the hose.

Clogs in Entrance to Filter Bag - Figures 38 & 39
Remove hose (10) from vacuum cleaner. To release the hose from the suction opening, press release buttons (14) on the neck of the hose (11), and pull the neck out. Check the hose neck (11) and suction opening (16) for clogs. If the clog is in the filter bag opening, open the filter bag cover and clean out the entrance to the bag (57).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE
shock hazard! 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.


To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

  1. Do not leave vacuum while plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
  2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
  3. Do not use near small children or pets. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Use of this product by children should always be supervised by an adult.
  4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer-recommended attachments.
  5. Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If vacuum is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a SEBO service center.
  6. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
  7. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug – not the cord.
  8. Do not use outlets above counters to plug in vacuum – damage to items in the surrounding area could occur.
  9. Always carry the vacuum over steps and sills.
  10. Do not handle plug or vacuum handle with wet hands.
  11. Do not put any object into vacuum openings. Do not use machine with any openings blocked. Keep openings free of lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
  12. Do not re-use filter bags or wash the filters.
  13. Do not remove any screws from vacuum.
  14. Do not vacuum up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
  15. Do not use vacuum without filter bag and/or filters in place.
  16. Turn off all machine controls before unplugging.
  17. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
  18. Do not use machine to vacuum up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.
  19. Machines can cause a fire when operated near flammable vapors or materials. Do not operate this vacuum near flammable fluids, dust or vapors.
  20. Maintenance and repairs must be done by authorized personnel.
  21. Use only original SEBO replacement parts.
  22. Do not use vacuum as a step.
  23. If vacuum is used on plush carpet or carpet with thick padding, do not leave machine standing in one place with machine turned on.
  24. While the vacuum is in use, the power cord should be unwound from the cable reel at least two thirds of its length. Hold plug when rewinding onto the cord reel. Do not allow plug to whip while rewinding.
  25. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from vacuum openings and moving parts. Do not place fingers or other body parts under vacuum unless it is unplugged.
  26. Do not place the power head over rug or carpet edges.
  27. The vacuum has a manual reset thermal protector. The protector is reset by switching off the vacuum. The thermal protector needs some time to cool down after switching off! Check the vacuum for air blockages or mechanical failures before switching on.
  28. Store the vacuum in a dry place at room temperature. When the vacuum is not in use, you should rewind the cord onto the cord reel
  29. The E3 hose contains electrical wires. Do not use if damaged, cut, or punctured. Avoid picking up sharp objects.
  30. Always unplug vacuum before connecting or disconnecting either hose or power head.
  31. Use a SEBO power head only in combination with a SEBO vacuum cleaner.
  32. Do not connect power head to a malfunctioning or damaged vacuum.
