ASSEMBLY
• Stand the vacuum up straight and slide the hose into guides at the back of the
vacuum and click into place.
• Ensure the hose is straight and slide the wand straight down into the hose until it
clicks into place.
• Click the wand handle into the top of the vacuum. Press the red button on the
rear of the wand handle and slide the tube down. Close the wand cap.
• Attach the tools to the vacuum and wind the cord anti-clockwise around cord
hooks and secure with clip.
USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM
Unwind the cord and insert the plug into a suitable socket. Hold the cleaner
head down with your foot and pull the handle downwards. To switch ‘ON’ or
‘OFF’ press the power button in front of the handle.
CAUTION:
• Do not allow the vacuum to be used by anyone who may not be able to operate
it safely.
• The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
• Always switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before performing maintenance on your vacuum.
• When returning to the upright position, ensure that the wand and clear bin
assembly are fully upright before releasing the vacuum.
• Ensure the cyclone is secured to the vacuum. Do not press the cyclone release
button or shake the vacuum while carrying or it could fall and cause injury.
• Store the vacuum indoors. Put the vacuum away after use with the cord coiled
safely, to prevent tripping hazards.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids –
electric shock could occur.
• Do not lubricate any parts, or carry out any maintenance or repair work other
than that shown in this manual, or advised by the Dyson Customer
Care Helpline.
PLEASE NOTE:
• This vacuum is intended for domestic use only. Fine dust such as plaster dust or
flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
• Do not use the vacuum to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper
clips, etc. They may damage the vacuum.
• If used in a garage, care should be taken to wipe the soleplate and wheels with
a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could
damage delicate floors.
• Consult your flooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before
vacuuming and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpet. Some carpets will fuzz
if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend
vacuuming in hard floors mode and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear
bin. These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the mains supply.
To minimize any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object into
the clear bin unless you have first emptied it and rinsed it out with cold water.
(See ‘Cleaning the clear bin’ section.)
• Do not use or store this vacuum below 0°C (32°F). Ensure that the vacuum is at
room temperature before operating.
HARD FLOORS/CARPETS
Ensure the machine is in an upright position before adjusting the setting.
The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. If the brush bar
stops during use, please refer to the ‘Clearing brush bar obstructions’ section.
HIGH-REACH CLEANING
CAUTION:
• Switch ‘OFF’ the vacuum before changing tools.
• Powerful suction can cause the hose to ‘pull back’ – please take care.
• Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs; do not work with the vacuum above
you on the stairs. Do not put the vacuum on chairs, tables etc.
• Ensure vacuum is in upright position before using tools.
PLEASE NOTE:
• To release the wand, open the wand cap and pull the red tube from inside
the handle until it clicks. Press button to release the wand and hose from the
machine. Tools can be attached to either the hose or wand.
• The brush bar will not rotate when the vacuum is in an upright position.
• Ensure wand cap is closed when not in use.
EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN
CAUTION:
• Switch ‘OFF’ the vacuum and unplug before emptying the clear bin.
• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
• To remove the clear bin from the vacuum, press the button at the rear of cyclone
carrying handle. To release the dirt, press the red bin release button. Emptying
into a bag is recommended for allergy sufferers.
• Do not use the vacuum without the clear bin in place.
• To minimize dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly
in a plastic bag and empty. Remove the clear bin carefully and seal bag tightly,
dispose as normal.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
CAUTION:
To remove the cyclone unit from the clear bin press the red bin release button.
This exposes a small silver button behind the red opening mechanism. Press the
silver button and separate the cyclone unit from the clear bin.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
• Do not put clear bin in a dishwasher.
• Clean the shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.
WASHING YOUR FILTERS
DO THIS EVERY 3 MONTHS
CAUTION:
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the vacuum before removing the filters.
• Ensure filters are completely dry before refitting to the vacuum.
PLEASE NOTE:
This machine has two filters, located as shown. It is important to check your
filters regularly and wash at least every 3 months according to instructions, to
maintain performance. FilterB should be rinsed and tapped out until the water
runs clean, then tapped out again to ensure all excess water is removed. This
will normally require up to 10 rinse cycles.
• After washing please leave for 24 hours to dry completely.
• The filters may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
• Do not use detergents to clean the filters.
• Do not put the filters in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,
microwave or near a naked flame.

CAUTION:
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the vacuum before checking for blockages.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• Please ensure the vacuum is upright and switched off before removing hose
or airway inspection parts.
• Beware of sharp objects when clearing blockages.
• Refit all parts of the vacuum securely before using.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your vacuum’s limited guarantee.
• This vacuum is fitted with an automatically resetting thermal cut-out. If any part
of the vacuum becomes blocked, it may overheat and automatically cut-out.
Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the vacuum and leave to cool down for 1-2 hours
before checking filter or for blockages.
