Maintenance
1. Aera-Pure Bag Replacement
The SEBO K3 uses a convenient 0.8-gallon Aera-Pure Bag for dust collection. When the full bag or clog warning light illuminates, it's time to replace the bag. Open the bag compartment, carefully remove the full bag, and dispose of it hygienically. Insert a new Aera-Pure Bag, ensuring it is properly seated before closing the compartment.
