Important

Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it for

future reference.

Danger

- Never suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up ammable

substances and do not suck up ashes until they are cold.

ENGLISH

Warning

- 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 mains cord 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 lter cylinder

become clogged. If you notice a strong decrease in suction power, clean

the lter cylinder.

- Sucking up large objects may cause the air passage in the tube or hose

to become obstructed. If this happens, the obstruction needs to be

removed.

- Never use the appliance without the motor protection lter. This

damages the motor and shortens the life of the appliance.

- The lter cylinder is not waterproof and cannot be cleaned with water

or cleaning agents. Only clean the lter with the Filter-Clean system.

- Only use the Philips lter cylinder supplied with the appliance.

- During vacuum cleaning, especially in rooms with low air humidity,

your vacuum cleaner builds up static electricity. As a result you can

experience electric shocks when you touch the tube or other steel

parts of your vacuum cleaner. These shocks are not harmful to you and

do not damage the appliance. To reduce this inconvenience we advise

you:

1 to discharge the appliance by frequently holding the tube against other

metal objects in the room (for example legs of a table or chair, radiator

etc.);

2 to raise the air humidity level in the room by placing water in the room.

For example, you can hang containers lled with water from your

radiators or place bowls lled with water on or near your radiators.

The Tri-Active nozzle is a multi-purpose nozzle for carpets and hard oors.

- The side brushes catch more dust and dirt at the sides of the nozzle

and allow you to clean better along furniture and other obstacles.

- The opening at the front of the nozzle allows you to suck up larger

particles.

This appliance is equipped with either the Super Clean Air HEPA 12 lter

or the Ultra Clean Air HEPA 13 lter. These lters are located in the back

of the appliance. They are able to remove 99.5% and 99.95% respectively

of all particles down to 0.0003mm in size from the outlet air. This not

only includes normal house dust, but also harmful microscopic vermin

such as dust mites and their excrements, which are well-known causes of

respiratory allergies.

Note: To guarantee optimal dust retention and performance of the vacuum

cleaner, always replace the HEPA lter with an original Philips lter of the

Troubleshooting

This chapter summarises the most common problems you could

encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with

the information below, contact the Customer Care Centre in your country.

1 ThelightintheFilter-Cleanbuttonashes.

- The lter cylinder needs to be cleaned. Press the Filter-Clean button to

clean the lter cylinder.

- The lter cylinder case with the lter cylinder in it has not been

inserted into the dust bucket. Insert the lter cylinder case with the

lter cylinder.

3 Thesuctionpowerisinsufcient.

- Perhaps you have selected a low suction power setting. Select a higher

suction power setting.

- Perhaps the lter cylinder is lled with dirt. If necessary, clean this lter.

- Perhaps the motor protection lter and/or the Super Clean Air HEPA

12 or Ultra Clean Air HEPA 13 lter are dirty. Clean or replace the

lters.

- Check if the nozzle or the hose is blocked up. To remove the

obstruction, disconnect the blocked-up item and connect it (as far as

possible) the other way around. Switch on the vacuum cleaner to force

the air through the blocked-up item in opposite direction

4 Theinfraredremotecontrol(specictypesonly)doesnotfunction.

- Perhaps the batteries have not been inserted properly or are empty.

Insert the batteries properly or replace them.

ENGLISH 21

- Remove the lid of the battery compartment (1) and insert two new

AAA 1.5-volt batteries (2). Make sure that the - and + poles point in

the right direction. Reattach the lid of the battery compartment (3).

5 WhenIusemyvacuumcleanerIsometimesfeelelectricshocks.

Your vacuum cleaner has built up static electricity. The lower the air

humidity in the rooms, the more static electricity the appliance builds up.

- To reduce this inconvenience, we advise you to discharge the appliance

by frequently holding the tube against other metal objects in the room

(for example legs of a table or chair, radiator etc.).

- To reduce this inconvenience, we advise you to raise the air humidity

level in the room by placing water in the room. For example, you can

hang containers lled with water from your radiators or place bowls

lled with water on or near your radiators.
