Danger

- Never suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up flammable substances and do not suck up ashes until they are cold.

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 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.

• 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

• When you use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum ashes, fine sand, lime, cement dust and similar substances, the pores of the dustbag become clogged.

HEPA 13 washable filter

HEPA 13 washable filter is able to remove 99.95% 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 filter with an original Philips filter of the correct type (see chapter 'Ordering accessories').

Clean the washable HEPA 13 filter every 6 months. You can clean the washable HEPA 13 filter max. 4 times. Replace the filter after it has been cleaned 4 times.

1 Open the exhaust grille (1) and pull it out of the appliance (2).

2 Pull the top of the HEPA-filter lock grille towards you and put it in upright position.

3 Take out the washable HEPA 13 filter. 4 Rinse the pleated side of the HEPA 13 filter under a hot slow-running tap.

- Hold the filter in such a way that the pleated side points upwards and the water flows parallel to the pleats. Hold the filter at an angle so that the water washes away the dirt inside the pleats.

• Turn the filter 180 degrees and let the water flow along the pleats in opposite direction.
• Continue this process until the filter is clean.

Never clean the washable filter with a brush.

Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the filter, but does restore its filtration power.

5 Carefully shake the water from the surface of the filter. Let the filter dry at least 2 hours before you put it back into the vacuum cleaner. 6 Put the filter back into the appliance. Lower the HEPA-filter lock grille onto the HEPA filter. 7 Insert the filter grille into the appliance (1) and push the other end of filter grille home ('click') (2).
