Power Connection: Pull out the power cord to the desired length and plug it into a suitable electrical outlet. Do not pull the cord beyond the yellow mark.

- For carpets and rugs, switch the combi-nozzle to the carpet setting (brushes retracted).
Using Accessory Nozzles:

- Upholstery Brush: Suitable for cleaning sofas, chairs, and curtains.
- Integrated Furniture Brush: Convenient for dusting furniture and delicate surfaces.
After Use: Press the ON/OFF button to switch off the appliance. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Press the cord rewind button to retract the power cord.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your vacuum cleaner.

Dust Bag Replacement

Replace the dust bag when the dust bag indicator shows full, or when suction power decreases significantly.

Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power supply.
Open the dust bag compartment cover.
Carefully remove the full dust bag by pulling the cardboard collar. Dispose of the bag responsibly.
Insert a new AEG S-bag Classic Long Performance GR 201 dust bag, ensuring the cardboard collar is fully seated in the holder.
Close the dust bag compartment cover until it clicks.

Filter Maintenance

The AEG AEO 5440 is equipped with a HEPA filter and a motor filter. Regular cleaning/replacement is crucial for air quality and motor protection.

HEPA Filter (Exhaust Filter)

The HEPA filter is located at the rear of the vacuum cleaner.
It is recommended to replace the HEPA filter approximately once a year, or more frequently with heavy use.
To replace: Open the filter cover, remove the old HEPA filter, insert a new one, and close the cover.
Note: HEPA filters are generally not washable and should be replaced.

Motor Filter (Pre-Motor Filter)

The motor filter protects the motor from dust and debris. It is usually located near the dust bag compartment.
Check and clean the motor filter regularly (e.g., every 3-5 dust bag changes).
To clean: Remove the filter and gently tap it to dislodge dust. If washable, rinse under lukewarm water and allow to dry completely before reinserting.

Nozzle and Hose Cleaning

Periodically check the floor nozzle and accessory nozzles for blockages (e.g., hair, threads). Remove any obstructions.
If suction is reduced, check the hose for blockages. Carefully remove any debris.

Refer to this section for solutions to common issues you might encounter.
