◗ Never suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up ashes until they are cold.
◗ 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.
◗ If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it may only be replaced by Philips or a service
centre authorised by Philips, as repair requires special tools and/or parts.
