3. Installation Instructions

Before beginning installation, ensure your vacuum cleaner is unplugged from the power outlet to prevent accidental activation.

3.1. Replacing the Central Filter

1. Locate the Filter Compartment: On most AEG Electrolux Viva Spin models, the central filter is located within the dust container or a dedicated filter housing. Refer to your vacuum cleaner's specific manual for exact location.
2. Remove Dust Container: Detach the dust container from the vacuum cleaner body.
3. Access the Filter: Open the dust container or filter housing to expose the old central filter.
4. Remove Old Filter: Carefully twist or pull out the old central filter. Dispose of it properly.
5. Insert New Filter: Place the new AEG AEF 20 central filter into the compartment. Ensure it is seated firmly and correctly to create a tight seal.
6. Reassemble: Close the filter housing and reattach the dust container to the vacuum cleaner.

3.2. Replacing the Exhaust Filters

1. Locate Exhaust Filter Compartment: The exhaust filters are typically located at the rear or side of the vacuum cleaner, often behind a removable grille or cover.
2. Open Compartment: Open the cover or grille to access the exhaust filter slots.
3. Remove Old Filters: Carefully pull out the two old exhaust filters. Dispose of them.
4. Insert New Filters: Slide the two new AEG AEF 20 exhaust filters into their respective slots. Ensure they fit snugly.
5. Close Compartment: Securely close the cover or grille.

4. Operating Considerations

Once the new filters are installed, your vacuum cleaner is ready for operation. The filters will automatically work to capture dust and fine particles as air passes through them. Ensure the dust container is empty and properly secured before use.

A clean filter system is vital for maintaining strong suction power and preventing the recirculation of dust into your home environment.

5. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your vacuum cleaner, regular maintenance of the filters is recommended.

• Central Filter: The central filter is reusable. It should be cleaned regularly, ideally after every 4-6 uses or when you notice a decrease in suction power. Tap the filter gently over a waste bin to dislodge dust. For a more thorough cleaning, rinse it under cold running water (without soap) until the water runs clear. Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting it into the vacuum cleaner. Never use the vacuum cleaner with a wet filter.
• Exhaust Filters: The exhaust filters are also reusable. They can be cleaned by gently tapping them to remove loose dust. If heavily soiled, they can be rinsed under cold running water. Ensure they are completely dry before reinstallation.
• Replacement: Even with regular cleaning, filters wear out over time. It is recommended to replace the entire AEG AEF 20 filter kit every 6-12 months, or more frequently if the vacuum cleaner is used heavily or in dusty environments.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your vacuum cleaner after filter installation, consider the following:

• Reduced Suction Power:
  • Ensure the central filter is clean and completely dry.
  • Check that the central filter is correctly seated and sealed within its compartment.
  • Verify that the dust container is empty and properly attached.
  • Inspect the exhaust filters for heavy clogging and clean or replace if necessary.
• Unusual Odors from Vacuum:
  • This often indicates a dirty filter. Clean or replace both central and exhaust filters.
  • Ensure the dust container is thoroughly cleaned.
• Filter Does Not Fit:
  • Double-check that you have the correct AEG AEF 20 filter kit for your specific AEG Electrolux Viva Spin model.
  • Ensure the filter is oriented correctly according to the vacuum cleaner's design.
