important
Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it for future reference.
Danger
- Never suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up flammable substances and do not suck
up ashes until they are cold.
Warning
- Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before
you connect the appliance.
- Do not use the appliance if the mains cord, the plug or the appliance itself is damaged.
- If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by
Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or 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.
- Never use the appliance if the filter cylinder, filter cylinder case and the dust bucket are not
properly installed or if the cover is not closed properly.
- Always unplug the appliance before you empty the dust bucket.
- Do not press the AutoClean button if the dust bucket, the filter cylinder and filter cylinder case
are not properly installed or if the cover is not closed properly.
- Never use the appliance without the motor protection filter. This could damage the motor and
shorten the life of the appliance.
- Only use the Philips filter cylinder supplied with the appliance.
- The filter cylinder is not waterproof and cannot be cleaned with water, cleaning agents or
flammable substances. Only clean the filter cylinder with the AutoClean system or the cleaning
brush supplied.
- Noise level: Lc = 78 dB(A).
- 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.); (Fig. 2)
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 (Fig. 3).
