Storage
1 You can put the appliance in upright position and attach the nozzle to the appliance by
inserting the ridge on the nozzle into the slot (fig. 24).
2 Always put the Tri-Active nozzle in carpet setting when you store it and prevent the side
brushes from becoming bent.
Replacement
The dustbag
1 Replace the dustbag as soon as the dustbag-full indicator changes colour (fig. 25).
The dustbag is full when the colour of the indicator has changed when the nozzle is not placed
on the floor.
2 Switch the appliance off.
3 Open the cover by pulling it upwards (fig.26).
Place your fingers at the front of the cover and press with your thumb on the ridge on top of the
cover.
4 Lift the dustbag holder out of the appliance (fig. 27).
Make sure you hold the dustbag upright when lifting it out of the appliance.
5 Remove the full dustbag from the holder by pulling the cardboard tag (fig. 28).
When you do this, the dustbag will be automatically sealed.
6 Slide the cardboard of the new dustbag into the two grooves of the dustbag holder as far as
possible. Re-insert the dustbag holder into the vacuum cleaner (fig. 29).
You cannot close the cover if no dustbag has been inserted.
The mains cord
If the mains cord of the appliance is damaged, it must always be replaced by Philips or a service
centre authorised by Philips, as special tools and/or parts are required.
Cleaning and maintenance of filters
Motor Protection Filter
Every time you empty or replace the dustbag, clean the Permanent Motor Protection Filter.
1 Remove the dustbag holder with the dustbag (fig. 27).
2 Take the Motor Protection Filter holder out of the appliance and clean the filter by shaking it
over a dustbin (fig. 30).
3 Press the filter holder with the clean filter firmly into place to ensure that it fits properly at
the bottom (fig. 31).
4 Place the dustbag holder with the dustbag back into the appliance.
Activated Carbon Filter (specific types only)
Instead of with the Motor Protection Filter, some appliances are equipped with an Activated Carbon
Filter.This filter neutralises smells produced by dirt in the dustbag.
1 Replace the Activated Carbon Filter every 6 months or when you notice that smell
absorption becomes less effective.
