General description
Important
◗Only use Philips Sydney+ double-layer paper dustbags, Philips
s-bag`double-layer paper dustbags or the re-usable dustbag, if
provided (some versions only).
◗Never suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up flammable
substances and do not suck up ashes until they are cold.
◗Only allow children to operate the vacuum cleaner under close
supervision.
◗Do not point the hose at the eyes or ears nor put it in your
mouth when the vacuum cleaner is switched on and the hose is
connected to the vacuum cleaner.
◗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.
