Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it for
future reference.

- Never suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up ammable
substances and do not suck up ashes until they are cold.

- Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the
local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.
- Do not use the appliance if the plug, the mains cord or the appliance
itself is damaged.
- If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it replaced by Philips, a
service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualied persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
- This appliance can be used by children aged 8 or above and by
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, if they have been given instructions in safe
use of the appliance and supervision to establish safe use and if they
have been made aware of the hazards involved.
- Do not allow children to play with the appliance.
- Children are only allowed to empty and clean the dust bucket and
clean or replace the lters under supervision.
- 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.
- The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before cleaning or
maintaining the appliance.
- Do not clean any parts of the appliance in the dishwasher.
- Make sure the main lter and the foam lter are completely dry before
you place them back into the appliance after cleaning.

- When you use the appliance to vacuum ashes, ne sand, lime, cement
dust and similar substances, the pores of the foam lter become
clogged. If you notice a strong decrease in suction power, clean the
foam lter.
- Only use the original Philips lters, do not attempt to make any of the
lters yourself.
- Never use the appliance without any of the lters. This damages the
motor and shortens the life of the appliance.
- Do not suck up large objects as this may cause the air passage in the
tube or hose to become obstructed.
- The appliance does not work if the dust bucket or the dust bucket lid
is not properly placed.
- For the best performance, clean both the main lter and foam lter at
least 4 times per year.
English 5

- Do not remove any of the rubber sealings.
- Do not clean any of the rubber sealings with cleaning detergent.
- You should not rinse the dust bucket under the tap. If you accidentally
did this anyway, make sure that you remove and dry the detachable
cover before you put the dust bucket back into the appliance.
- 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.);
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.

за експлоатация и го запазете за справка в бъдеще.

- Никога не всмуквайте вода или друга течност. Не всмуквайте
запалими вещества и не всмуквайте пепел, преди да е изстинала.

- Преди да включите уреда в мрежата, проверете дали посоченото
върху уреда напрежение отговаря на напрежението на местната
електрическа мрежа.
- Не използвайте уреда, ако щепселът, мрежовият кабелът или
самият уред са повредени.
- Ако захранващият кабел се повреди, той трябва винаги да се
подменя от Philips, упълномощен сервиз на Philips или други
квалифицирани лица, за да се избегне опасност.
- Този уред може да се използва от деца на възраст 8 години и
повече и от хора с намалени физически възприятия или умствени
недостатъци, или без опит и познания, ако са били инструктирани
за безопасна употреба на уреда и са под наблюдение с цел
гарантиране на безопасна употреба и ако са им били разяснени
евентуалните опасности.
- Не позволявайте на деца да си играят с уреда.
- На децата се позволява да изпразват и почистват отделението за
прах и да почистват и сменят филтрите само под наблюдение.
- Не насочвайте маркуча, тръбата или друга приставка към очите
или ушите, и не ги поставяйте в устата си, когато са свързани към
прахосмукачката и тя е включена.
- Непременно изключвайте щепсела от контакта преди почистване
или поддръжка на уреда.
- Никои от частите на уреда не могат да се мият в съдомиялна
машина.
- Внимавайте главният филтър и порестият филтър да са напълно
сухи, преди да ги поставите обратно на уреда.

- Когато използвате уреда за всмукване на пепел, фин пясък, вар,
циментов прах и подобни вещества, отворите на порестия
филтър се запушват. Ако забележите значително снижаване на
засмукващата мощност, почистете порестия филтър.
- Използвайте само оригинални филтри на Philips и не опитвайте да
си правите филтри сами.
- Никога не използвайте уреда без някой от филтрите. Това ще
повреди електромотора и ще съкрати живота на уреда.
- Не всмуквайте големи предмети, тъй като това може да доведе
до попречи на преминаването на въздуха пред тръбата или
маркуча.

- Уредът няма да работи, ако отделението за прах или капакът на
отделението за прах не са поставени правилно.
- За най-добри резултати почиствайте главния филтър и порестия
филтър поне 4 пъти годишно.
- Не сваляйте никое от гумените уплътнения.
- Не почиствайте никое от гумените уплътнения с почистващ
препарат.
- Не трябва да изплаквате отделението за прах с вода от крана. Ако
все пак това се случи, непременно свалете и подсушете подвижния
капак, преди да поставите отделението за прах обратно в уреда.
- При чистене с прахосмукачка, особено в стаи с ниска влажност
на въздуха, във вашата прахосмукачка се натрупва статично
електричество. В резултат на това може да усетите удари с
електрически ток, когато докосвате тръбата или други стоманени
части на прахосмукачката. Тези удари не са болезнени за вас
и не увреждат уреда. за да намалите това неудобство, ние
препоръчваме следното:
1 да разреждате уреда с често допиране на тръбата до други
метални предмети в стаята (например крака на маса или стол,
радиатор и др.);
2 да повишавате нивото на влажност на въздуха, като поставите
вода в стаята. Можете например да окачите съдове с вода на
радиаторите или да ги поставите близо до радиаторите.
- Ниво на шума: Lc = 81 dB (A)
