Important
Only use Philips s-bag™ double-layer paper dustbags (FC8021).
Never use the vacuum cleaner to suck up water or any other liquid. Never suck up ashes
until they are cold.
When the vacuum cleaner is used to suck up fine dust, the pores of the dustbag may become
clogged, causing the passage of air through the dustbag to become obstructed.As a result, the
dustbag-full indicator will indicate that the dustbag needs to be replaced, even though the
dustbag is not full at all.
Never use the appliance without the Motor Protection Filter.This could damage the motor
and shorten the life of the appliance.
Never clean the appliance with water.

Reach & Clean nozzle
The Reach & Clean nozzle can be used on either carpets or hard floors.The nozzle can be

To adjust the nozzle to the type of floor and the area to be cleaned, put your foot on the
indicated spot and then turn the tube until the nozzle is in the required position (fig. 5).

hard floor areas.Turn the tube until the brush strip pops out of the nozzle housing and the
nozzle is positioned breadthwise (fig. 6).

small hard floor areas.Turn the tube 90 degrees anti-clockwise until it is positioned
lengthwise with the brush strip still folded out of the nozzle housing (fig. 7).
