Philips PowerLife Staubsauger mit Beutel - Handbuch (Seite 9)

caution
- Do not vacuum 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 dustbag and the motor protection filter become clogged. If you notice a strong decrease in
suction power, replace the dustbag and clean the motor protection filter.
- Never use the appliance without a dustbag or the motor protection filter. This could damage the motor and
shorten the life of the appliance. Only use Philips s-bag ® dustbags or Philips reusable dustbag or dustbags
supplied by Philips.
