Resolution
1. Check if the S-bag® is full or blocked.
Always change the S-bag® when the indicator signal is illuminated in red even if the S-bag is not full (it may be blocked), and always after using carpet cleaning powder.
Please note that in some models (i.e. AEG VX8.2) the indicator can illuminate in two colours:
White / green (or inactive - model depending) - the vacuum cleaner is operating normally, no bag change is needed.
S-bag® indicator lights in white/green - no bag change needed
S-bag® indicator inactive - no bag change needed
Red - the bag is full and needs to be replaced.
After replacing the bag, the lamp lights up red for about 5 seconds and then continues to light up in white.
Bag Replacement Alert
An LED alerts you when the S-bag is full and must be changed
Use only AEG/Electrolux original synthetic S-bags®.
