The Philips vacuum cleaner is a rechargeable appliance designed for cleaning purposes. It contains a rechargeable battery that can be replaced by an authorized service engineer when needed. The product comes with various accessories, which may vary depending on the model, and it should not be used to vacuum up water, flammable substances, or ashes until they are cold. The adapter supplied with the appliance contains a transformer, so it should not be cut off to replace it with another plug, which can cause a hazardous situation.

The magnetic charging disc should be kept away from children, and the plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before cleaning or maintaining the appliance. The adapter should be unplugged if the appliance is not being used for some time. If the product becomes abnormally hot or smelly, changes color or charging takes longer than usual, stop using and charging immediately and contact
Philips. Do not place the product or its batteries in microwave ovens or on induction cookers.

If batteries are damaged or leaking, avoid contact with the skin or eyes, rinse well with water and seek medical care. To prevent damage to the product, do not immerse it or the adapter in water or any other liquid, nor rinse it under the tap. Do not vacuum up water or any other liquid, flammable substances, or ashes until they are cold. The appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
