Caution -- Do not vacuum up large objects as this may cause the air passage in the tube or hose to become obstructed. -- When you use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum ashes, fine sand, lime, cement dust and similar substances, the pores of the dustbag and the motor protection filter become clogged. If you notice a strong decrease in suction power, replace the dustbag and clean the motor protection filter. -- Always unplug the appliance before you replace the dustbag or clean the filters and assemble or disassemble accessories. -- 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® disposable synthetic dustbags or the reusable dustbag.
