Before first use
Installing the wall mount

1 Invert the wall mount and unlatch the gray lever. Insert the charging port, ensuring the metal part is visible and pointing upright on the front side of the wall mount.

2 Neatly arrange the cable by tucking it into the designated groove.

3 Close the gray lever. Make sure the gray lever is locked in place with a "CLICK" sound.

4 Securely affix the wall mount to your preferred position on the wall, ensuring that the mounting screw holes are approximately 110 cm from the floor.
Caution: Be careful when you drill holes in the wall to fasten the wall mount, to avoid the risk of electric shock.

i Note: Verify that the placement of the wall mount allows the entire appliance to hang on the wall without the nozzle coming into contact with the floor.

5 Once you have determined the optimal position and height for storing and charging your appliance, firmly tighten the screws to secure the wall mount in place.
Preparing for use

The appliance is equipped with a Li-Ion battery. Charging from empty to full takes about 5 hours.
1 Attach the battery pack to the main body of the appliance, ensuring a secure connection that's confirmed with a "CLICK" sound.

2 Charge your appliance by placing it onto the assembled wall mount.
Warning: Store and charge the appliance at a temperature above 5 °C and below 40 °C.

i Note: You can also place the handheld on a level and stable surface, and directly connect the charging cable to the appliance.

3 The appliance is designed to reach a complete charge within 5 hours. You can monitor the charging progress on the screen. When the appliance is fully charged, the value 100% lights up on the screen. After a few minutes, the display will switch off.
Using the appliance
Assembling the appliance

1 Attach the handheld to the tube. Confirm the attachment with a "CLICK" sound.

2 Attach the tube to the nozzle. Confirm the attachment with a "CLICK" sound.
Vacuuming soft and hard floors

1 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
i Note: To switch off the appliance, press the on/off button again.

2 Use the + and - buttons to toggle through three different power settings.

3 You can clean on hard or soft floors with the vacuum cleaner.

With Floor Type Recognition enabled, the appliance recognizes the floor type and automatically optimizes its performance within the power settings you have selected. Read the section "Floor Type Recognition" to check how to make customizations.

Warning: Do not vacuum up water or other liquids.

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.

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.

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

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.

4 Close the aqua tank properly.

5 Secure the microfiber mopping pad underneath the aqua tank. Align the velcro straps under the aqua tank and behind the cloth.

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.
Versatile usage and accessories

Warning: When using any accessory, do not vacuum up water or other liquids.
