Using the appliance

Usage restrictions

Troubleshooting

This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.

Problem	Possible cause Solution
The appliance does not work when I push the button.	The battery light flashes fast because the batteries are low.	To charge the batteries, insert the small plug into the socket on the appliance and insert the adapter into a wall socket.
	You cannot use the appliance because the appliance is still charging.	You have to remove the small plug from the socket on the appliance before you can switch on the appliance.
	You have to press two buttons.	First press the on/off button to switch on the appliance. Then press the MAX button to get maximum suction power.
The appliance has a lower suction power than usual.	The filter and the cyclone are dirty.	Clean the filter and the cyclone.
	You have not connected the dust bucket, the dust separator and the cyclone properly. Incorrect assembly of these parts causes air leakage, which leads to loss of suction power.	Connect the dust bucket, the dust separator and the cyclone properly.
Dust escapes from the appliance.	The filter is dirty. Clean the filter.
The brush does not turn anymore.	The brush encounters too much resistance.	Clean the brush with a pair of scissors or by hand. If you clean the roller brush by hand, pull the hairs or threads from the widest side to the narrowest side of the roller brush (see user manual).
The water flow from the water tank is reduced	The wetting strip is blocked by excessive residue.	Remove the wetting strip and clean it.
	The microfiber mopping pad is not placed correctly. It covers the wetting strip and blocks the water flow from the wetting strip.	Make sure that the Velcro strips on the mopping pad and the Velcro strips on the water tank are perfectly aligned. Also make sure the striped side of the mopping pad is facing outwards, away from the bottom of the water tank.

Problem Possible cause Solution

	The water tank is empty or nearly empty.	Refill the water tank.
	You use a microfiber mopping pad that is not supplied by Philips.	Only use an original Philips microfiber mopping pad. You can buy these mopping pads in the online Philips shop at www.shop.philips.com/service or at your Philips dealer.
The output of water is faster and larger than normal.	If the water tank produces an uncontrolled and too large amount of water, the cap of the tank is probably not closed properly.	Check the cap and make sure it is fully and properly closed.
	The strip is not placed properly in the bottom of the water tank.	Check the strip and make sure that it is fitted properly n the bottom plate of the water tank.
The floor dries with stripes when I use the water tank.	You added too much liquid cleaner to the water.	Use only a few drops or use a cleaner that foams less.
