[. . . ] Preparing for use Connecting the hose 1 To connect the hose, push it firmly into the appliance (`click'). Make sure the recess in the hose connection fits exactly on the projection on housing of the appliance. 2 To disconnect the hose, push the buttons (1) and pull the hose out of the appliance (2). Connecting the telescopic tube 1 To connect the telescopic tube to the handgrip: Telescopic tube with conical connection (specific types only): Insert the handgrip into the telescopic tube and turn a little. [. . . ] - Telescopic tube with button connection (specific types only): Press the spring-loaded lock button and pull the handgrip out of the tube. 2 Adjust the telescopic tube to the length you find most comfortable during vacuuming. Hold the collar with one hand and pull the tube part above the collar upwards or push it downwards with the other hand. 3 To connect the tube to a nozzle, press the spring-loaded lock button on the tube and insert the tube into the nozzle. Fit the spring-loaded lock button into the opening in the nozzle (`click'). Accessory clip (specific types only) 1 Snap the crevice tool and the small nozzle into the clip. Note:The small nozzle must be placed in the accessory holder as shown in the picture. The side brushes catch more dust and dirt at the sides of the nozzle and allow you to clean better along furniture and other obstacles. The opening at the front of the nozzle allows you to suck up larger particles. 1 Use the hard floor setting to clean hard floors (for instance for tiled, parqueted, laminated and linoleumed flooring): push the rocker switch on top of the nozzle with your foot to make the brush strip come out of the housing. 2 Use the carpet setting to clean carpets: push the rocker switch again to make the brush strip disappear into the nozzle housing. 2 Press the tab at the top of the motor protection filter holder down to release it. 3 Pull the top of the motor protection filter holder towards you (1) and lift the filter holder out of the dustbag compartment (2). 6 Fit the two lugs of the filter holder behind the ridge at the bottom to ensure that it fits properly at the top (1). 7 Place the dustbag holder with the dustbag back into the appliance and close the cover. This not only includes normal house dust, but also harmful microscopic vermin such as dust mites and their excrements, which are well-known causes of respiratory allergies. Note:To guarantee optimal dust retention and performance of the vacuum cleaner, always replace the HEPA filter with an original Philips filter of the correct type (see chapter `Ordering accessories'). 2 Pull the top of the HEPA-filter lock grille towards you and put it in upright position. Hold the filter at an angle so that the water washes away the dirt inside the pleats. Turn the filter 180° and let the water flow along the pleats in opposite direction. Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the filter, but does restore its filtration power. Let the filter dry at least 2 hours before you put it back into the vacuum cleaner.
