empty the dust container.

Clean the filter unit. If the

appliance switches off

again when you connect it

to the mains and switch it

filter. If this does not solve

the issue and the

appliance stops vacuuming

again and again, please

contact the Philips

You may have used

the vacuum mode

for more than 30
