Important
• Before using for the first time, check if
the dustbag is placed correctly.
• Never suck up water (or any other
liquid). Never pick up ashes until they
are cold.
• When picking up fine dust, the pores of
the dustbag may become clogged.
This will obstruct the air passage.
Subsequently, the dustbag needs
replacement, although the bag might be
far from full.
• Only use this vacuum cleaner with the
original Philips dustbags types Oslo
+
or
Oslo
+
Hygiene (closeable).
• Never use the vacuum cleaner without
the motor protection filter.

Getting the vacuum cleaner ready for use:
• Connecting the hose: press firmly ("Click!")
(fig. 1a).
- To disconnect: press the knob and pull the
hose out of the vacuum cleaner (fig. 1b).
• Connecting the nozzle, the telescopic tube
and the handle: insert the narrowed section
into the wider section while rotating a little
(fig. 2).
- To disconnect: pull while rotating.
• To adjust the telescopic tube to the
required length, pull the locking knob in the
direction of the arrow (fig. 3) while sliding the
top section of the telescopic tube in or out the
lower section. Then release the knob
• Nozzles:
- Combi nozzle. This nozzle is convertible for
use on either carpets (without brush, fig. 4) or
hard floors (with brush, fig. 5);
- Small nozzle, brush nozzle and crevice
nozzle. These can be found in the special
storage compartment (fig. 6-10);
• Pull the mains plug out of the vacuum cleaner
(fig. 11) and insert into the wall socket.
• Press the on/off switch (I) (fig. 12).
• The electronic suction power control on the
vacuum cleaner enables smooth suction
power adjustment (fig. 13).
MAX = maximum suction power.
MIN = minimum suction power.
- Move the slide towards MAX until the desired
suction power is obtained.
Medium suction power is advisable for
general use. (See also the section on the
Philips “Turbomax” motor.)
Minimum suction power is advisable for
dusting using the brush nozzle and for cleaning
curtains, cloths, etc.
Maximum suction power is advisable for
cleaning very dirty carpets and hard floors.
• The suction power control at the hand grip
enables you to reduce suction power (fig. 14).
This extra facility is advisable if you wish to
apply lower suction power for a short period.
Insufficient suction power?
Please check:
- if the slide on the vacuum cleaner is in the
required position;
- if the control at the hand grip is in "open"
position;
- if the dustbag is full;
- if the nozzle, tube or hose is blocked up.
To remove the obstruction, disconnect the
blocked-up item and connect it (as far as
possible) in adverse position. Then the air will
stream through the item in opposite direction.
Philips “Turbomax” motor
Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with the
very powerful Philips “Turbomax” motor.
As long as the dustbag is more or less
empty, medium suction power will be quite
enough for general use. This saves
energy and makes vacuuming easy.
As the dustbag becomes more and more
full, you can select higher suction power.
This ensures that the dustbag will be filled
entirely.
