Danger Never suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up flammable substances and do not suck up ashes until they are cold. Warning 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. - English - 7 - 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.

Replace the disposable dustbag and 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 filter. 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).
