Replacing the filter

Replace the filter if it is very dirty or damaged. You can order a new filter under order number FC8012.
See 'Emptying and cleaning the dust container' in chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance' for instructions
on how to remove the filter from the dust container and how to place it in the dust container.
Replacing the side brushes
Replace the side brushes after some time to ensure proper cleaning results.
Note: Always replace the side brushes when you notice signs of wear or damage. We also recommend
that you replace both side brushes at the same time. You can order spare side brushes as a set under
order number FC8013.
1 To replace the side brushes, grab the old side brushes by the bristles and pull them off their shafts
(Fig. 43).
2 Push the new side brushes onto the shafts (Fig. 10).

Replacing the rechargeable battery

The rechargeable battery of the robot may only be replaced by qualified service engineers. Take the
robot to an authorized Philips service center to have the battery replaced when you can no longer
recharge it or when it runs out of power quickly. You can find the contact details of the Philips
Consumer Care Center in your country in the international warranty leaflet.
Replacing the battery of the remote control
The remote control works on a CR2025 coin-shaped battery. Replace the battery when the robot no
longer responds when you press the buttons on the remote control.
1 Hold the remote control upside down. Push the release button on the battery holder and at the
same time slide the battery holder out of the remote control (Fig. 53).
2 Remove the empty battery from the battery holder and place a new battery in the battery holder.
Then slide the battery holder back into the remote control (Fig. 54).
