Philips FC9100 - Manual (Page 6)

Important
◗ Only use Philips s-bag™ double-layer paper
dustbags (type FC8021), or the cotton
dustbag provided (some versions only).
◗ Never use the vacuum cleaner to suck up
water or any other liquid. Never suck up
ashes until they are cold.
◗ When the vacuum cleaner is used to suck up
fine dust, the pores of the dustbag may
become clogged, causing the passage of air
through the dustbag to become obstructed.As
a result, the dustbag-full indicator will indicate
that the dustbag needs to be replaced, even
though the dustbag is not full at all.
◗ Never use the appliance without the Motor
Protection Filter.This could damage the
motor and shorten the life of the appliance.
