Frequently Asked Questions - StudioPower FC9088 PHILIPS

Check if the dustbin is full or the filter is clogged. Empty the dustbin and clean the HEPA filter under running water. Let it dry for 24 hours before reinserting.

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the HEPA filter at least every 3 months. If you notice a drop in suction, clean it more frequently.

Can I wash the HEPA filter?

Yes, the HEPA 13 filter is washable. Rinse under cold water without detergent, then air dry completely before reuse.

The vacuum includes a crevice tool, a small dusting brush, and a large floor nozzle. Additional accessories can be purchased separately.

How do I empty the dustbin?

Press the release button on the dustbin to detach it from the main body. Open the bottom flap over a trash bin to empty. The bin is easy to clean with a damp cloth.

The brush roll stopped spinning. What should I do?

Check if the brush roll is blocked by hair or debris. Remove the bottom plate and cut away tangled hair with scissors. Ensure the belt is intact.

Is the vacuum suitable for pet hair?

Yes, the StudioPower FC9088 has a powerful cyclonic suction and a brush roll designed to pick up pet hair effectively. Clean the brush roll regularly.

How long is the power cord?

Can I use the vacuum on hardwood floors?

Important

Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it for future reference.

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.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• 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. As a result, the dustbag-full indicator will indicate that the dustbag is full. Replace the disposable dustbag or empty the reusable dustbag, even if it is not full yet (see chapter ‘Replacing/emptying the dustbag’).
• Never use the appliance without the motor protection filter. This could damage the motor and shorten the life of the appliance.
• Only use Philips s-bag™ synthetic dustbags or the reusable dustbag provided (some countries only).

Replacing/emptying the dustbag

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° 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).
