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

- 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 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
appliance.
- 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.

- 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 disposable dustbag or empty the reusable
dustbag, even if it is not full yet (see chapter ‘Replacing/emptying the
dustbag’).
- Never use the appliance without the motor protection lter. This could
damage the motor and shorten the life of the appliance.
- Only use Philips s-bag ` synthetic dustbags or the reusable dustbag
provided (some countries only).
- 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:
 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.);
 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.
- Noise level: Lc = 72 dB [A]

In some cases, the dustbag full indicator can indicate that the dustbag is
full, even though it is not. This may occur if the pores of the dustbag are
clogged (e.g. when you have vacuumed ashes, ne sand, lime, cement dust
and similar substances) or if something is blocking the nozzle, tube and/
or hose. If the pores of the dustbag are clogged, you have to replace the
disposable dustbag or empty the reusable dustbag, even if it is not full
yet. If the dustbag is not clogged but not full either, something is blocking
the nozzle, tube and/or hose. In this case, do not replace the dustbag
but remove the obstruction.

HEPA 13 washable lter is able to remove 99.95% 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 13 lter every 6 months. You can clean the
washable HEPA 13 lter max. 4 times. Replace the lter after it has been
cleaned 4 times.
Note: Do not clean the HEPA 13 lter in the washing machine, but follow the
procedure below.
1 Press the lter cover release button to open the lter cover.
2 Remove the lter cover.
3 Take out the washable HEPA 13 lter.
4 Rinse the pleated side of the HEPA 13 lter under a hot slow-
running tap.
14

- 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.
5 Carefully shake the water from the surface of the lter. Let the lter
dry completely for at least 2 hours before you put it back into the
vacuum cleaner.
6 Put the dry lter back into the appliance.
7 Fit the two lugs of the lter cover behind the ridge at the bottom
of the vacuum cleaner (1). Then push the lter cover towards the
appliance (2).

This chapter summarises the most common problems you could
encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with
the information below, contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country.
1 The suction power is insufcient.
A The suction power may be set to a low setting.
- Set the suction power to a higher setting.
B The nozzle, tube or hose may be blocked up.
- To remove the obstruction, disconnect the blocked-up item and
connect it (as far as possible) the other way around. Switch on the
vacuum cleaner to force the air through the blocked-up item in
opposite direction.
C The dustbag may be full.
- Empty the reusable dustbag (specic types only) or replace
the dustbag.
D The lters may be dirty.
- Clean or replace the lters.
2 When I use my vacuum cleaner I sometimes feel electric shocks.
A Your vacuum cleaner has built up static electricity. The lower the air
humidity in the rooms, the more static electricity the appliance builds
up.
- To reduce this inconvenience, we advise you 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.).
- To reduce this inconvenience, we advise you 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.

квалифицирани лица, за да се избегне опасност.
- Този уред не е предназначен за ползване от хора с намалени
физически усещания или умствени недостатъци или без опит и
познания, включително деца, ако са оставени без наблюдение и не
са инструктирани от страна на отговарящо за тяхната безопасност
лице относно начина на използване на уреда.
- Наглеждайте децата, за да не си играят с уреда.
- Не насочвайте маркуча, тръбата или друг аксесоар към очите
или ушите, и не ги поставяйте в устата си, когато са свързани към

- Когато използвате прахосмукачката за засмукване на пепел,
фин пясък, варов или циментов прах и др. подобни, порите на
торбата за прах се запушват. В резултат на това индикаторът за
пълна торба за прах ще покаже, че торбата е пълна. Подменете
еднократната торба или изпразнете многократната, дори тя все
още да не е пълна (вж. глава “Подмяна/изпразване на торбата за
прах”).
- Никога не използвайте уреда без филтъра за защита на
електромотора. Това може да повреди електромотора и да
съкрати живота на уреда.
- Използвайте само синтетични торбички за прах Philips s-bag ` или
торбата за многократно използване, включена в комплекта (само
за някои държави).
- 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:
 да разреждате уреда с често допиране на тръбата до други
метални предмети в стаята (например крака на маса или стол,
радиатор и др.);
 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 шум: Lc = 72 dB [A]
