Danger -Never suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up flammable substances and do not suck up ashes until they are cold. ENGLISHWarning -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 qualified 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. Caution -Do not suck up large objects, as this may cause the air passage in the tube or hose to become obstructed. -When you use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum ashes, fine sand, lime, cement dust and similar substances, the pores of the filter cylinder become clogged. If you notice a strong decrease in suction power, clean the filter cylinder. -Sucking up large objects may cause the air passage in the tube or hose to become obstructed. If this happens, the obstruction needs to be removed. -Never use the appliance without the motor protection filter. This damages the motor and shortens the life of the appliance. -The filter cylinder is not waterproof and cannot be cleaned with water or cleaning agents. Only clean the filter with the Filter-Clean system. -Only use the Philips filter cylinder supplied with the appliance. -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: 1 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.); 2 to raise the air humidity level in the room by placing water in the room. For example, you can hang containers filled with water from your radiators or place bowls filled with water on or near your radiators.
