Only use the Philips filter cylinder supplied with the appliance.
-
During vacuum cleaning, especially in rooms with low air humidity,
your vacuum cleaner builds up static electricity. As a result you can
experience electric shocks when you touch the tube or other steel
parts of your vacuum cleaner. These shocks are not harmful to you
and do not damage the appliance. To reduce this inconvenience we
advise you:
1
to discharge the appliance by frequently holding the tube against
other metal objects in the room (for example legs of a table or chair,
radiator etc.);
2
to raise the air humidity level in the room by placing water in the room.
For example, you can hang containers filled with water from your
radiators or place bowls filled with water on or near your radiators.

Ergonomic advice
ComfortControl handgrip (specific types only)
-
The unique ComfortControl handgrip is ergonomically designed to
give you sufficient comfort during vacuum cleaning.
-
To gain optimal benefit from this handgrip, it is important that you do
not position your second hand on the tube. When you do so, you twist
and bend your back, which could result in back problems.
-
Our ergonomist advises you to adjust the length of the tube so that
the hand holding the standard handgrip is at hip level.
Attaching the ComfortControl handgrip (specific types only)
