Remove the dust bin and take out the filter. Rinse it under cold water until clean. Let it dry completely (24 hours) before reinstalling. Do not use hot water or detergents.
Can I use the vacuum on carpets and hard floors?
Yes, the XC6553 features an anti-tangle brush suitable for both carpets and hard floors. You can adjust the suction power for different surfaces via the power button.
How do I empty the dust bin?
Press the dust bin release button to detach the bin. Open the bottom lid over a trash can to empty it. For thorough cleaning, you can wash the bin with water.
What attachments are included?
The package includes a crevice tool for tight spaces, a mini brush for upholstery, and a 2-in-1 combo brush for general dusting.
How do I store the vacuum?
You can wall-mount the vacuum using the provided bracket, or simply store it in a corner. The design allows it to stand upright without support.
Is the battery removable?
Yes, the battery is detachable for easy charging or replacement. If you need a spare, contact Philips customer support for compatible batteries.
Why is the vacuum not picking up dirt?
Check for blockages in the brush head, hose, or dust bin. Ensure the filter is clean and the dust bin is not full. Also, verify that the battery is sufficiently charged.
How often should I replace the filter?
With regular washing, the HEPA filter should be replaced every 6 to 12 months depending on usage. Signs of wear or persistent odor indicate replacement is needed.

Caution: Do not look directly into the illuminated LEDs or point the LEDs at someone's eyes. The LED light is very bright.

Vacuuming while mopping hard floors

Caution: Only use the aqua tank on hard floors with a water-resistant top coat (such as linoleum, enameled tiles and varnished parquet) and stone floors (such as marble). If your floor has not been treated to make it water-resistant, check with the manufacturer if you can use water to clean it. Do not use the aqua tank on hard floors of which the water-resistant top coat is damaged.

Note: Do not use the aqua tank to clean carpets.

Illustration of a faucet pouring liquid into a blue container with green tubing (no text or symbols)

Note: Do not move the appliance with aqua tank assembled sideways, as this leaves water traces. Only move forwards and backwards.

1 Pre-wet the microfiber mopping pad with water before use.

MAX 50 °C

2 Fill the tank with water, ensuring the water temperature does not exceed 50°C.

10 ml

3 (Optional) If you wish to add a liquid floor cleaner into the aqua tank, opt for a low-foaming or non-foaming variety that can be diluted. We recommend the XV1792 Philips Floor Cleaner. Add only a few drops of the liquid cleaner to the water.

6 Attach the prepared aqua tank to the aqua nozzle and you're set to begin.

7 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance. You can effectively clean hard floors with the attached aqua module on the nozzle.

Note: The aqua module is not suitable for soft floors like carpet.

Caution: The aqua module should not be used to pick up water puddles.

Tips and other important information

- It is not necessary to vacuum the floor before mopping, as the Vacuum & Mop set-up actively wet-cleans your hard floor to capture all kinds of dirt, including liquids and stains. On carpets and rugs, use the Vacuum only set-up.

- The appliance can leave a small puddle of water on the floor if you do not move the appliance while switching it off. You can reduce the size of the puddle by moving the appliance while switching it off. If needed, you can remove the last drops with a cloth.

Usage restrictions

- The Vacuum & Mop set-up is suitable for vacuuming and mopping all types of hard floors, except uncoated wooden floors.

  • The Vacuum & Mop set-up is intended for regular cleaning of hard floors. Always follow the cleaning instructions for your hard floor when you use this appliance.
  • If you want to add a liquid floor cleaner other than XV1792 Philips Floor Cleaner to the water in the clean aqua tank, make sure that you use a low-foaming or non-foaming liquid floor cleaner that can be diluted in water like XV1792 Philips Floor Cleaner.
  • As the clean aqua tank has a capacity of 250 ml, you only have to add a few drops (max 10ml) of liquid floor cleaner to the water.
  • If you use the Vacuum & Mop set-up on linoleum floors, only do so on linoleum floors that are properly affixed to prevent linoleum from being drawn into the nozzle.
  • If you move/lift the appliance over a carpet or rug when it is switched off, wastewater droplets may end up on your carpet or rug.
  • Do not push the appliance over the floor grilles of convector heaters. As the appliance cannot pick up water that comes out of the nozzle when you move it over the grille, water ends up at the bottom of the convector pit.
  • While cleaning, do not lift the nozzle from the floor or move the nozzle sideways, and do not make strong turns, as this leaves water traces. Only move forwards and backwards.

i Note: The operating time depends on the power level used during cleaning.
