Danger

 - Never suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up flammable 

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

 - 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 qualified 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. 

 - When you use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum ashes, fine sand, lime, 

cement dust and similar substances, the pores of the dustbag become 

clogged. As a result, the dustbag-full indicator will indicate that the 

dustbag is full. Replace the disposable dustbag or empty the reusable 

dustbag, even if it is not full yet (see chapter ‘Replacing/emptying 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 ` synthetic dustbags or the reusable dustbag 

provided (some countries only). 

 - Noise level: Lc = 78 dB(A)
