Important

reference.
Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before
you connect the appliance.
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

Keep the appliance out of the reach of children
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.
Do not use the appliance if the plug, the cord or the appliance itself is damaged.
If the mains cord or another part of this appliance is damaged, it may only be replaced by
Philips or a service centre authorised by Philips in order to avoid hazardous situations.
