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 dustbag, even if it is not full yet (see chapter
'Maintenance').
- 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.
- 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:
1 to 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.);
