Important

Ordering dustbags and filters
Philips s-bag`paper dustbags are available under type number FC
8021. Philips s-bag`dustbags are the most suitable dustbag for your
vacuum cleaner.
If S-bag dustbags are not available, you can also use Philips Sydney+
paper dustbags in your vacuum cleaner. Sydney+ dustbags are available
under type number HR 6999.
When buying Sydney+ dustbags, be sure to check the presence of the
"+" indication and check whether your vacuum cleaner type is shown
on the back of the box. Sydney dustbags without the "+" indication are
not suitable for your vacuum cleaner.
The recommended dustbags fit a variety of Philips vacuum cleaners.
For compact vacuum cleaners like the City Line or the Impact, this
means that the dustbags will not be filled to their maximum capacity, as
the capacity of the dust compartment is smaller than that of the
dustbag. However, this does not prevent your vacuum cleaner from
functioning optimally.
Two AFS Micro Filters and one Motor Protection Filter are available
under type number FC 8032.
ACF-S Combi Filters are available under type number HR 6998.
If you have any difficulties obtaining dustbags, filters or other accessories
for this appliance, please contact the Philips Helpdesk.
See the worldwide guarantee leaflet for telephone numbers of the
Philips Helpdesk.
