Vigtigt
Læs denne brugsvejledning omhyggeligt igennem, inden apparatet tages i
brug, og gem den til eventuelt senere brug.
Fare
- Opsug aldrig vand eller andre former for væske. Opsug aldrig
brandbare substanser eller aske, før denne er blevet helt kold.
Advarsel
- Kontrollér, om den angivne netspænding på apparatet svarer til den
lokale netspænding, før du slutter strøm til apparatet.
DANSK
4222.003.3503.1.indd 17 06-11-09 15:38

- Brug ikke apparatet, hvis netledning, stik eller selve apparatet er
beskadiget.
- Hvis netledningen beskadiges, må den kun udskiftes af Philips, et
autoriseret Philips-serviceværksted eller en tilsvarende kvaliceret
fagmand for at undgå enhver risiko.
- Dette apparat er ikke beregnet til at blive brugt af personer (herunder
børn) med nedsatte fysiske og mentale evner, nedsat følesans eller
manglende erfaring og viden, medmindre de er blevet vejledt eller
instrueret i apparatets anvendelse af en person, der er ansvarlig for
deres sikkerhed.
- Apparatet bør holdes uden for børns rækkevidde for at sikre, at de ikke
kan komme til at lege med det.
- Slange, rør eller andet tilbehør må aldrig rettes mod øjne eller ører
eller kommes i munden, mens de er tilsluttet den tændte støvsuger.
Forsigtig
- Undgå at opsuge store objekter, da dette kan medføre, at luftstrømmen
i rør eller slange bliver tilstoppet.
- Når du anvender støvsugeren til at opsuge aske, nt sand,
kalk, cementstøv eller lignende substanser, bliver hullerne i
støvbeholderltrene og motorbeskyttelseslteret tilstoppede.
Hvis du mærker en stærk forringelse af sugestyrken, skal du rense
støvbeholderltrene og motorbeskyttelseslteret.
- Tag altid apparatet ud af stikkontakten, før du tømmer støvbeholderen
eller rengør ltrene.
- Brug aldrig apparatet uden motorbeskyttelseslter. Det vil kunne skade
motoren og forkorte apparatets levetid.
- Brug kun Philips’ ltertragt, der følger med apparatet.
- Støjniveau: Lc = 82 dB(A)
Elektromagnetiske felter (EMF)
Dette Philips-apparat overholder alle standarder for elektromagnetiske
felter (EMF). Ved korrekt anvendelse i overensstemmelse med
instruktionerne i denne brugsvejledning, er apparatet sikkert at anvende
ifølge den videnskabelige viden, der er tilgængelig i dag.
