Philips Aspirateur sans sac User 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 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.

Sucking up large objects may cause the air passage in the tube or hose to become obstructed. If

this happens, the obstruction needs to be removed.

Never use the appliance without the motor protection filter. This damages the motor and

shortens the life of the appliance.

The filter cylinder is not waterproof and cannot be cleaned with water or cleaning agents. Only

clean the filter with the Filter-Clean system.

Only use the Philips filter cylinder supplied with the appliance.
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.

preparing for use

hose

To connect the hose, push it firmly into the appliance (‘click’) (Fig. 2).

To disconnect the hose, press the release button (1) and pull the hose out of the appliance

(2) (Fig. 3).
telescopic tube

To connect the tube to the handgrip of the hose, press the spring-loaded lock button on the

handgrip and insert the handgrip into the tube. Fit the spring-loaded lock button into the

opening in the tube (‘click’) (Fig. 4).

To disconnect the tube from the handgrip, press the spring-loaded lock button and pull the

handgrip out of the tube.

Use the same method to connect and disconnect the nozzles.

Adjust the tube to the length you find most comfortable during vacuum cleaning (Fig. 5).

tri-active nozzle

The Tri-Active nozzle is a multi-purpose nozzle for carpets and hard floors.

The side brushes catch more dust and dirt at the sides of the nozzle and allow you to clean

better along furniture and other obstacles (Fig. 6).

The opening at the front of the nozzle allows you to suck up larger particles (Fig. 7).

To clean hard floors, push the rocker switch on top of the nozzle with your foot (Fig. 8).

The brush strip for cleaning hard floors comes out of the housing. At the same time, the

wheel is lifted to prevent scratching and to increase manoeuvrability.

To clean carpets, push the rocker switch again (Fig. 9).

The brush strip disappears into the nozzle housing and the wheel is lowered automatically.
