Electromagnetic Fields (Emf); Preparing For Use - Philips FC6840 series Bedienungsanleitung

Always remove the mains plug from the wall socket if the appliance does not function
,
properly, before you clean the appliance and before you open the container.
Only vacuum dry materials and dust if you have inserted the paper or reusable dustbag into
,
the appliance.
Never vacuum ashes (from ashtrays and fireplaces) until they are completely cold.
,
Never vacuum petrol, white spirit, gas oil, paraffin oil or other flammable or explosive liquids.
,
Do not use the appliance in rooms with explosive vapours (petrol, thinners, solvents).
,
When you use the appliance to vacuum ashes, fine sand, lime, cement dust and similar
,
substances, the pores of the paper dustbag become clogged. In that case, replace the paper
dustbag, even if is not full yet.
Only use Athena paper dustbags or the reusable dustbag. You can obtain dustbags from your
,
dealer. For type numbers, see chapter 'Ordering accessories and filters'.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the Motor Protection Filter.
,
Never immerse the motor unit in water.
,
Never direct the jet of shampoo at plugs, sockets or electrical appliances.
,
Only switch on the pump when you have filled the shampoo reservoir, placed it into the
,
appliance and connected it with the two shampoo hoses. Switch off the pump as soon as the
shampoo reservoir is empty.
The pump may get damaged if it runs dry.
Keep the appliance and the cleaning liquid out of the reach of children.
,
Always switch off the appliance after use and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
,
Always empty, clean and dry the container after wet use. Let the appliance suck in dry air for
,
a few minutes to dry the inside of the tube and hose. This prevents an unpleasant smell the
next time you use the vacuum cleaner. It also prevents the paper dustbag from becoming wet.
To extend the life of the shampoo pump, clean it with a mixture of water and white vinegar
,
once a year. Follow the instructions in chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance'.
Do not store the appliance at temperatures below 0°C to prevent it from freezing.
,
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.
