Important
• Before using for the first time, check if
the dustbag is placed correctly.
• Never suck up water (or any other
liquid). Never pick up ashes until they
are cold.
• When picking up fine dust, the pores of
the dustbag may become clogged.
This will obstruct the air passage.
Subsequently, the dustbag needs
replacement, although the bag might be
far from full.
• Avoid damage. Never use the vacuum
cleaner without the motor protection
filter.
• Only use the vacuum cleaner with the
special double-sided paper dustbags
only, type Philips HR 6999 Sydney.

damaged, it must only be replaced by
