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)
