Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future reference. � � � � � � � 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 cord or the appliance itself is damaged. If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Keep the appliance out of the reach of children. Never suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up flammable substances and do not suck up ashes until they are cold. 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 (see chapter 'Replacing the dustbag'). 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` double-layer paper dustbags.
