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.
◗ If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it may only be
replaced by Philips or a service centre authorised by Philips, as
repair requires special tools and/or parts.
