Philips FC 8274 [7/28] Caution

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.

- The appliance does not work if the dust container is not properly placed.



- 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 appliance to vacuum ashes, ne sand, lime, cement dust and similar

substances, the pores of the lter cylinder become clogged. If you notice a strong decrease in

suction power, clean the lter cylinder.

- Never use the appliance without the lter cylinder. This damages the motor and shortens the life

of the appliance.

- Only use the Philips lter cylinder supplied with the appliance.

- The lter cylinder is not waterproof and cannot be cleaned with water, cleaning agents or

ammable substances. Follow the instructions in chapter ‘Cleaning’.

- 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:

 to discharge the appliance by frequently holding the tube against other metal objects in the

room (for example the legs of a table or chair, a radiator etc.) (Fig. 2)

 to raise the air humidity level in the room by placing water in the room. For example, you can

hang containers lled with water from your radiators or place bowls lled with water on or

near your radiators (Fig. 3).
