Philips FC6841 - Manual (Page 14)

Never use the appliance without the motor protection filter.
Micro filter (specific types only)
When you vacuum dry substances, the electrostatic micro filter purifies the exhaust air by removing
minuscule dust particles. The effectiveness of the filter decreases gradually during use.
- Normally it suffices to replace the micro filter when you insert the first of a new set of paper
dustbags.
- The indicator of the micro filter holder has to stay white. If the filter has turned noticeably grey,
we advise you to replace the filter (Fig. 58).
Replace the filter more frequently if you suffer from a respiratory tract disease (e.g. asthma) or if
you have an allergy (e.g. for pollen, dust, etc.).
1 Pull the micro filter holder upwards (Fig. 23).
2 Pull the old micro filter out of the holder (Fig. 59).
3 Put the new micro filter in the holder and slide the holder back into the appliance.
Foam filter
Replace the foam filter if it is damaged or very dirty.
storage
1 Switch off the appliance and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

, The mains cord is wound up automatically inside the appliance.
Note: When the shampoo reservoir is attached to the appliance, the mains cord does not disappear
completely into the appliance when you press the cord rewind button.
3 Store the small nozzles in the way that is shown in the figure (Fig. 61).
4 Specific types only: to park the tube, insert the parking clip into the parking slot on the side
of the appliance.
Note: To avoid accidental damage to the appliance, the parking clip comes off the tube or the appliance
when the tube is pulled or knocked fiercely. You can simply snap the parking clip back onto the tube
when this happens.
