The vacuum leaves a fine dust haze in the air or visible dust escapes from the exhaust.

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove it from the charger before opening the filter compartment.

• Step 1 – Inspect HEPA filter: Remove the exhaust/HEPA filter from the rear of the AEG handheld unit. Check for tears, holes, or warped frames.
• Step 2 – Confirm correct fit: Reinstall the filter, ensuring it sits flat and the cover closes fully without gaps.
• Step 3 – Replace if damaged: If the filter media is damaged or heavily soiled, replace it with a genuine AEG HEPA filter designed for your model.
• Step 4 – Avoid operating without filter: Never run the vacuum without the exhaust filter, as this can damage the motor and release dust.
