Important
◗Only use Philips s-bag`double-layer paper dustbags (type
FC8021).
◗Check if the dustbag has been placed correctly.
◗Never use the vacuum cleaner to suck up water or any other
liquid. Never suck up ashes until they are cold.
◗When the vacuum cleaner is used to suck up fine dust, the pores
of the dustbag may become clogged, causing the passage of air
through the dustbag to become obstructed.As a result, the
dustbag-full indicator will indicate that the dustbag needs to be
replaced, even though the dustbag is not full at all.
◗Never use the appliance without the Motor Protection Filter.This
could damage the motor and shorten the life of the appliance.
