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

ENGLISH

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, ne 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

‘Replacing/emptying the dustbag’).

Never use the appliance without the motor protection lter. This damages the motor and

shortens the life of the appliance.

Only use Philips dustbags (see chapter ‘Obtaining replacement items’ for type numbers of

replacement dustbags).
