Troubleshooting

This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter
with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the
information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently
asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.
Problem
The suction
power is
insufficient.
When I use my
vacuum cleaner
I sometimes
feel electric
shocks.
For models
with remote
control: The
remote control
does not work.
Possible cause
The dust
container is full.
The filters are
dirty.
The suction power
is set to a low
setting.
The nozzle, tube
or hose is blocked
up.
Your vacuum
cleaner builds up
static electricity.
The lower the air
humidity, the
more static
electricity the
appliance builds
up.
The batteries do
not make full
contact or have
not been inserted
properly.
Solution
Empty the dust container.
Clean or replace the filters.
Increase the suction power with the
regulator on the appliance or on the
handgrip.
To remove the obstruction,
disconnect the blocked-up item and
connect it (as far as possible) the
other way around. Switch on the
vacuum cleaner to force the air
through the blocked-up item in
opposite direction.
Discharge the appliance by
frequently holding the tube against
other metal objects in the room (for
example the legs of a table or chair,
a radiator etc.). You can also raise
the air humidity level in the room.
Remove the lid of the battery
compartment and insert the
batteries correctly. Make sure the -
and + poles point in the right
direction.
