local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.


- Do not use the appliance if the plug, the mains cord or the appliance

- 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 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.

or ears nor put it in your mouth when it is connected to the vacuum
cleaner and the vacuum cleaner is switched on.

- 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. Replace the dustbag, even if it is not full yet (see chapter
‘Replacing the dustbag’).
- Never use the appliance without the motor protection lter. This could
damage the motor and shorten the life of the appliance.

The washable HEPA 12 lter is able to remove 99.5% of all particles down
to 0.0003mm in size from the outlet air. This not only includes normal
house dust, but also harmful microscopic vermin such as dust mites and
their excrements, which are well-known causes of respiratory allergies.
Note: To guarantee optimal dust retention and performance of the vacuum
cleaner, always replace the HEPA lter with an original Philips lter of the
correct type (see chapter ‘Ordering accessories’).
Clean the washable HEPA 12 lter every 6 months. You can clean the
washable HEPA 12 lter max. 4 times. Replace the lter after it has been
cleaned 4 times.

1 To remove the HEPA lter grille, grab the tabs and pull the lter
grille upwards.
2 Take the HEPA 12 lter out of the appliance.
3 Rinse the pleated side of the HEPA 12 lter under a hot slow-
running tap.
- Hold the lter in such a way that the pleated side points upwards and
the water ows parallel to the pleats. Hold the lter at an angle so that
the water washes away the dirt inside the pleats.
- Turn the lter 180° and let the water ow along the pleats in opposite
direction.
- Continue this process until the lter is clean.
Never clean the washable lter with a brush.
Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the lter, but does restore
its ltration power.
4 Carefully shake the water from the surface of the lter. Let the lter
dry at least 2 hours before you put it back into the vacuum cleaner.
Note: Make sure that the lter is completely dry before you put it back into
the appliance.

- Pokud byste zjistili závadu na zástrčce, na síťové šňůře nebo na přístroji,
dále jej nepoužívejte.
- Pokud by byla poškozena síťová šňůra, musí její výměnu provést
společnost Philips, autorizovaný servis společnosti Philips nebo
obdobně kvalikovaní pracovníci, aby se předešlo možnému nebezpečí.
- Osoby (včetně dětí) s omezenými fyzickými, smyslovými nebo
duševními schopnostmi nebo nedostatkem zkušeností a znalostí by
neměly s přístrojem manipulovat, pokud nebyly o používání přístroje
předem poučeny nebo nejsou pod dohledem osoby zodpovědné za
jejich bezpečnost.
- Dohlédněte na to, aby si s přístrojem nehrály děti.
- Nesměřujte hadicí, trubkou ani jiným příslušenstvím na oči nebo uši,
ani do úst, pokud jsou tyto součásti připojeny k vysavači a vysavač je
zapnutý.

- Pokud budete používat přístroj k vysávání popelu, jemného písku, vápna,
cementového prachu nebo podobných látek, póry v prachovém sáčku
se zanesou. Tím pádem bude indikátor naplnění prachového sáčku
ukazovat, že je sáček plný, i když tomu tak nebude (viz kapitola ‚Výměna
prachových sáčků‘).
- Nikdy nepoužívejte vysavač bez vloženého ochranného ltru motoru.
To by mohlo mít za následek poškození motoru a tím zkrácení
životnosti přístroje.
