- 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

- 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.

- Do not suck 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, ne sand, lime,
cement dust and similar substances, the pores of the dustbag and
the motor protection lter become clogged. If you notice a strong
decrease in suction power, replace the dustbag and clean the motor
protection lter.
- Always unplug the appliance before you replace the dustbag or clean
the lters.
- Never use the appliance without a dustbag or the motor protection
lter. This could damage the motor and shorten the life of the
appliance. We advise you to use Philips s-bag® double-layer paper
dustbags.
