Troubleshooting
This chapter summarizes 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 Center in your country.
| Problem | Possible cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| The suction power is insufficient | The dustbag is full. | Empty the reusable |
dustbag or replace the disposable dustbag.
| The filters are dirty.| 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.
