instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
- Do not point the hose, the tube or any other accessory at the eyes
or ears nor put it in your mouth when it is connected to the vacuum
cleaner and the vacuum cleaner is switched on.
Caution
- Do not suck up large objects, as this may cause the air passage in the
tube or hose to become obstructed.
- When you use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum ashes, fine sand, lime,
cement dust and similar substances, the pores of the filter cylinder
become clogged. If you notice a strong decrease in suction power, clean
the filter cylinder.
- Sucking up large objects may cause the air passage in the tube or hose
to become obstructed. If this happens, the blockage indicator turns red
to indicate that there is an obstruction that needs to be removed.
- Never use the appliance without the motor protection filter. This
damages the motor and shortens the life of the appliance.
- Only use the Philips filter cylinder supplied with the appliance.
- During vacuum cleaning, especially in rooms with low air humidity,
your vacuum cleaner builds up static electricity. As a result you can
experience electric shocks when you touch the tube or other steel
parts of your vacuum cleaner. These shocks are not harmful to you and
do not damage the appliance. To reduce this inconvenience we advise
you:
1 to discharge the appliance by frequently holding the tube against other
metal objects in the room (for example legs of a table or chair, radiator
etc.);
2 to raise the air humidity level in the room by placing water in the room.
For example, you can hang containers filled with water from your
radiators or place bowls filled with water on or near your radiators.
