Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benet

Philips incorporates the latest technologies to create products that are

good for the environment in terms of energy consumption as well as

material usage. Specic types in this range are partly made of bioplastics

and recycled plastics. Parts made of bioplastics are environmentally friendly

because they have been derived from renewable biomass sources. Some

parts still need to be made of conventional plastics, but for these parts

Philips tries to use recycled plastics as much as possible. This production

method results in considerably less waste than the traditional method.

Moreover, this vacuum cleaner’s extremely efcient motor yields high

performance at low power consumption.

For more information on this and other environmental efforts of Philips,

please visit www.asimpleswitch.com.

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

future reference.

- 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 mains cord, the plug 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.



- 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, ne sand, lime,

cement dust and similar substances, the pores of the lter cylinder

become clogged. If you notice a strong decrease in suction power, clean

the lter cylinder.

- Never use the appliance if the lter cylinder, lter cylinder case and

the dust bucket are not properly installed or if the cover is not closed

properly.

- Always unplug the appliance before you empty the dust bucket or

clean the lter cylinder.

- Never use the appliance without the motor protection lter. This could

damage the motor and shorten the life of the appliance.

- Only use the Philips lter cylinder supplied with the appliance.

- Noise level: Lc= 80 dB(A).

- 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 lled with water from your

radiators or place bowls lled with water on or near your radiators.

- The unique ComfortControl handgrip is ergonomically designed to

give you sufcient comfort during vacuum cleaning.

- To gain optimal benet from this handgrip, it is important that you do

not position your second hand on the tube. When you do so, you twist

and bend your back, which could result in back problems.

- Our ergonomist advises you to adjust the length of the tube so that

the hand holding the standard handgrip is at hip level.

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.

Problem Possible cause Solution

The suction power

is insufcient.

You have selected a low

suction power setting.

Select a higher suction power setting.

The lter cylinder is clogged

with dirt.

Clean the lter cylinder (see chapter ‘Cleaning and

maintenance’).

The motor protection lter

and/or the HEPA lter are

dirty.

Clean or replace the lters (see chapter ‘Cleaning

and maintenance’).

The nozzle, hose or tube is

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.

I cannot close

the dust bucket

retainer.

You have not inserted the

lter cylinder properly into

the lter cylinder case.

Insert the lter cylinder properly in the lter

cylinder case.

When I use my

vacuum cleaner

I sometimes feel

electric shocks.

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.
