ENGLISH- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. - The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before you clean or maintain 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, ne 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.

This could damage the motor and shorten the life of the appliance. - Only use Philips s-bag

synthetic dustbags. - During vacuum cleaning, especially in rooms with low air humidity, your vacuum cleaner builds up static electricity. As a result you can experience electric shocks when you touch the tube or other steel parts of your vacuum cleaner. These shocks are not harmful to you and do not damage the appliance. To reduce this inconvenience we advise you: 1 to discharge the appliance by frequently holding the tube against other metal objects in the room (for example legs of a table or chair, radiator etc.); (Fig. 2) 2 to raise the air humidity level in the room by placing water in the room. For example, you can hang containers lled with water from your radiators or place bowls lled with water on or near your radiators (Fig. 3).

Replacing the dustbag Always unplug the appliance before you replace the dustbag. Note: In some cases, the dustbag-full indicator can indicate that the dustbag is full, even though it is not. This may occur if the pores of the dustbag are clogged (e.g. when you have vacuumed ashes, ne sand, lime, cement dust and similar substances) or if something blocks the nozzle, tube and/or hose. If the pores of the dustbag are clogged, you have to replace the dustbag, even if it is not full yet. If the dustbag is not clogged but not full either, something blocks the nozzle, tube and/or hose. In this case, do not replace the dustbag but remove the obstruction. Replacing the dustbag - Replace the dustbag as soon as the dustbag-full indicator has changed colour permanently, i.e. even when the nozzle is not placed on the oor (Fig. 22). 1 Pullthecoverupwardstoopenit(Fig.23). 2 Liftthedustbagholderoutoftheappliance(Fig.24).
