Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future
reference.
Only use Philips s-bag` double-layer paper dustbags.
Never suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up flammable substances and do not
suck up ashes until they are cold.
Only allow children to operate the vacuum cleaner under close supervision.
Do not point the hose at the eyes or ears nor put it in your mouth when the vacuum
cleaner is switched on and the hose is connected to the vacuum cleaner.
When the vacuum cleaner is used to suck up fine dust, the pores of the dustbag may become
clogged, causing the passage of air through the dustbag to become obstructed.As a result, the
dustbag-full indicator will indicate that the dustbag needs to be replaced, even though the
dustbag is not full at all.
Never use the appliance without the Motor Protection Filter.This could damage the motor
and shorten the life of the appliance.
