Electromagnetic Fields (Emf); Preparing For Use - Philips FC9239 Bedienungsanleitung

- 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.
