Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future

reference.

◗ Only use Philips S-bag double-layer paper dustbags (type FC8021), or the cotton dustbag

provided (some versions only).

◗ 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 plug, the cord or the appliance itself is damaged.

◗ If the mains cord or another part of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by

Philips or a service centre authorised by Philips in order to avoid hazardous situations.

◗ 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.

◗ Do not point the hose at the eyes or ears nor put it in your mouth when the vacuum

cleaner is switched on and the hose is connected to the vacuum cleaner.

◗ Noise level: Lc = 75 dB(A)
