Philips FC8710 Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
Caution: Always make sure the lter is present inside the dust container. If you use the robot
without the lter inside the dust container, the motor will be damaged.
Cleaning sensors, wheels and side brushes
To maintain good cleaning performance, you have to clean the drop-off sensors, the wheels and the
side brushes from time to time.
1 Make sure the power switch is in ‘off’ position.
2 Place the robot upside down on a at surface.
3 Use a brush with soft bristles (e.g. a toothbrush) to remove dust or uff from the drop-off
sensors. Also check if there is any dirt or uff blocking the suction opening (Fig. 42).
Note: It is important that you clean the drop-off sensors regularly. If the drop-off sensors are dirty,
the robot may fail to detect height differences.
4 Use a brush with soft bristles (e.g. a toothbrush) to remove dust or uff from the front
wheel and side wheels (Fig. 43).
5 To clean the side brushes, grab them by the bristles and pull them off their shafts (Fig. 44).
6 Remove uff, hairs and threads from the shaft and from the side brush with a soft brush
(e.g. a toothbrush) or a cloth (Fig. 45).
7 Check the side brushes and the bottom of the robot for any sharp objects that could damage
your oor.
Replacement
You can order spareparts and accessories at www.shop.philips.com/service or at your Philips
dealer. You can also contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Replacing the lter
Replace the lter if it is very dirty or damaged. You can order a new lter under order number
CP0108. See ‘Emptying and cleaning the dust container’ in chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’ for
instructions on how to remove the lter from the dust container and how to place it in the dust
container.
Replacing the side brushes
Replace the side brushes after some time to ensure proper cleaning results.
Note: Always replace the side brushes when you notice signs of wear or damage. We also recommend
that you replace both side brushes at the same time. You can order spare side brushes as a set under
order number CP0107.
1 Make sure that the on/off switch is in ‘off’ position.
2 To replace the side brushes, grab the old side brushes by the bristles and pull them off their
shafts.
3 Push the new side brushes onto the shafts (Fig. 11).
