Philips SmallStar Aspirateur avec sac - Manual (Page 7)

- 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 appliance to vacuum ashes, fine sand, lime, cement dust and similar
substances, the pores of the dustbag become clogged. As a result, the dustbag-full indicator will
indicate that the dustbag is full. Replace the dustbag, even if it is not full yet (see chapter
‘Replacement’).
- Never use the appliance without a dustbag or the motor protection filter. This damages the
motor and shortens the life of the appliance.
- Only use Philips s-bag® synthetic dustbags.
- 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 the legs of a table or chair, a 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).
Electromagnetic fields (EmF)
This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled
properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on
scientific evidence available today.
