Troubleshooting

This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter

with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the

information below, visit

www.philips.com/support

for a list of frequently

asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Centre in your countr y.

Problem

Possible cause

Solution

The suction

power is

insufficient.

The dust

container is full.

Empty the dust container.

The filters are

dir ty.

Clean or replace the filters.

The suction

power is set to

a low setting.

Increase the suction power with the

regulator on the appliance or on the

handgrip.

The nozzle,

tube or hose is

blocked up.

To remove the obstruction, disconnect

the blocked-up item and connect it

(as far as possible) the other way

around. Switch on the vacuum cleaner

to force the air through the blocked-up

item in opposite direction.

When I use

my vacuum

cleaner I

sometimes

feel electric

shocks.

Your vacuum

cleaner builds

up static

electricity.

The lower the

air humidity,

the more static

electricity the

appliance

builds up.

Discharge the appliance by frequently

holding the tube against other metal

objects in the room (for example the

legs of a table or chair, a radiator etc.).

You can also raise the air humidity level

in the room.

For models

with remote

control only:

The remote

control does

not function.

The batteries

do not make

full contact

or have not

been inser ted

properly.

Remove the lid of the batter y

compar tment and inser t the batteries

correctly. Make sure the - and + poles

point in the right direction.

The batteries

are empty.

Replace the batteries. You can continue

to vacuum but you cannot use the

remote control to increase or decrease

the suction power or to switch off the

appliance. To switch off the appliance,

press the on/off button on the appliance.
