Important

Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it for future reference.

Danger

-- Never suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up flammable substances and do not suck up ashes until they are cold.

Warning

-- 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 mains cord or the appliance itself is damaged.

-- If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

-- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

-- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

-- 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

-- When you use the vacuum cleaner 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 disposable dustbag or empty the reusable dustbag, even if it is not full yet (see chapter ‘Replacing/emptying the dustbag’).

-- Never use the appliance without the motor protection filter.This could damage the motor and shorten the life of the appliance.

-- Only use Philips s-bag ` synthetic dustbags or the reusable dustbag provided (some countries only).

-- 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:

1to discharge the appliance by frequently holding the tube against other metal objects in the room (for example legs of a table or chair, radiator etc.);

4222.003.3431.1.indd 7			11-11-09 15:26

16 English

Before replacing/emtying the dustbag

In some cases, the dustbag full indicator can indicate that the dustbag is full, even though it is not.This may occur if the pores of the dustbag are clogged (e.g. when you have vacuumed ashes, fine sand, lime, cement dust and similar substances) or if something is blocking the nozzle, tube and/ or hose. If the pores of the dustbag are clogged, you have to replace the disposable dustbag or empty the reusable dustbag, even if it is not full yet. If the dustbag is not clogged but not full either, something is blocking the nozzle, tube and/or hose. In this case, do not replace the dustbag but remove the obstruction.

Replacing the disposable dustbag

-- Replace the dustbag as soon as the dustbag-full indicator has changed colour permanently, i.e. even when the nozzle is not placed on the floor.

1Pull the cover upwards to open it.

2Lift the dustbag holder out of the appliance.

Make sure you hold the dustbag upright when you lift it out of the appliance.

3 Pull at the cardboard tag to remove the full dustbag from the holder. ,, When you do this, the dustbag is sealed automatically.

To empty the reusable dustbag:

1Slide the clip off the dustbag sideways.

2Shake out the contents into a dustbin.

3To close the dustbag, slide the clip back onto the bottom edge of the dustbag.

0.0003mm in size from the outlet air.This not only includes normal house dust, but also harmful microscopic vermin such as dust mites and their excrements, which are well-known causes of respiratory allergies.

Note:To guarantee optimal dust retention and performance of the vacuum cleaner, always replace the HEPA filter with an original Philips filter of the correct type (see chapter ‘Ordering accessories’).

Clean the washable HEPA 13 filter every 6 months.You can clean the washable HEPA 13 filter max. 4 times. Replace the filter after it has been cleaned 4 times.

Note: Do not clean the HEPA 13 filter in the washing machine, but follow the procedure below.

English 19

-- Hold the filter in such a way that the pleated side points upwards and the water flows parallel to the pleats. Hold the filter at an angle so that the water washes away the dirt inside the pleats.

-- Turn the filter 180° and let the water flow along the pleats in opposite direction.

-- Continue this process until the filter is clean.

Never clean the washable filter with a brush.

Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the filter, but does restore its filtration power.

5 Carefully shake the water from the surface of the filter.Let the filter dry completely for at least 2 hours before you put it back into the vacuum cleaner.

6 Put the dry filter back into the appliance.

7 Fit the two lugs of the filter cover behind the ridge at the bottom of the vacuum cleaner (1).Then push the filter cover towards the appliance (2).
