Danger
- Never suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up ammable
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.
ENGLISH
- Do not use the appliance if the mains cord, the plug 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 qualied 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
- Do not suck up large objects as this may cause the air passage in the
tube or hose to become obstructed.
- When you use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum ashes, ne sand, lime,
cement dust and similar substances, the pores of the dust container
lters and the motor protection lter become clogged. If you notice a
strong decrease in suction power, clean the dust container lters and
the motor protection lter.
- Always unplug the appliance before you empty the dust container or
clean the lters.
- Never use the appliance without the motor protection lter. This could
damage the motor and shorten the life of the appliance.
- Only use the Philips lter cone supplied with the appliance.
