Using your Dyson machine

Operation

  • Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids – electric shock could occur.
  • Ensure the machine remains upright in use. Dirt and debris may be released if it is turned upside down.
  • Do not operate while checking for blockages as doing so could result in personal injury.
  • For domestic indoor and car use only. Do not use it while the car is in motion or while driving.
  • To operate the MAX mode, locate the switch on the top of the machine. Slide the switch to the Max mode position.
  • To switch off MAX mode, slide the red switch back to the Powerful Suction mode position.

Docking station installation

Use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type and ensure that the docking station is mounted securely. Ensure no pipe work (gas, water, air) or electrical cables, wires or ductwork are located directly behind the mounting area. The docking station must be mounted in accordance with regulations and applicable codes/standards (state and local laws may apply). Dyson recommends the use of protective clothing, eyeware and materials when installing the docking station.

Carpets or hard floors

Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer's recommended cleaning instructions.

The brush bar on the machine can damage certain carpet types and floors. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming without the motorized floor tool and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.

Before vacuuming highly polished floors, such as wood or linoleum, first check that the underside of the floor tool and its brushes are free from foreign objects that could cause marking.

Looking after your Dyson machine

Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown and described in this Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline.

Only use parts recommended by Dyson. If you do not this may invalidate your warranty. Store the machine indoors. Do not use or store it below 37.4°F (3°C). Ensure the machine is at room temperature before operating.

Clean the machine only with a dry cloth. Do not use any lubricants, cleaning agents, polishes or air fresheners on any part of the machine.

Vacuuming

  • Do not use without the clear bin and filters in place.
  • Fine dirt such as plaster dust or flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
  • Do not use the machine to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper clips, etc. They may damage the machine.
  • When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear bin or wand. These are harmless and are not associated with the central electricity 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. Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only. (See “Cleaning the clear bin”.)
  • Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
  • Do not rest the machine on chairs, tables, etc.
  • Do not press down on the nozzle with excessive force when using the machine as this may cause damage.
  • Do not leave the cleaner head in one place on delicate floors.
  • On waxed floors the movement of the cleaner head may create an uneven luster. If this happens, wipe with a damp cloth, polish the area with wax, and wait for it to dry.

Emptying the clear bin

  • Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
  • Ensure the machine is disconnected from the charger before emptying the clear bin. Be careful not to pull the “ON” trigger.
  • To make emptying the clear bin easier, it is advisable to remove the wand and floor tool.
  • To minimize dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in a plastic bag and empty.
  • To release the dirt, hold the machine by the handle, pull the red lever back and lift upwards to release the cyclone. Continue until the bin base automatically opens and releases the dirt.
  • Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.
  • Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
  • To close, push the cyclone downwards until it is in the normal position and manually close the base of the bin – the base will click when it is securely in place.

Cleaning the clear bin

  • Ensure the machine is disconnected from the charger before removing the clear bin. Be careful not to pull the “ON” trigger. Remove the wand and floor tool.
  • To remove the cyclone, hold the machine by the handle, pull the red lever towards you and lift upwards until the bin opens, then push in the red button located behind the cyclone and lift the cyclone out.
  • To detach the clear bin from the machine, pull back on the red catch located at the base, slide the clear bin down and carefully remove forwards from the main body.
  • Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only.
  • Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
  • Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.
  • Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
  • To replace the clear bin, align the tabs on the clear bin with the grooves on the main body and slide upwards into place until the catch clicks.
  • Slide the cyclone into the grooves of the main body and push downwards until it is in its normal position and manually close the base of the bin – the base will click when it is securely in place.

  • This will happen after the motor pulses a number of times (i.e switches on and off in quick succession).
  • Leave to cool down before looking for blockages.
  • Ensure the machine is disconnected from the charger before looking for blockages. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
  • Clear any blockage before restarting.
  • Refit all parts securely before using.

  • Ensure the machine is disconnected from the charger before looking for blockages. Be careful not to pull the “ON” trigger.
  • Do not operate while checking for blockages as doing so could result in personal injury.
  • Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
  • To check for blockages in the main body of the machine, remove the clear bin and cyclone as per the instructions in the cleaning the clear bin section and remove the blockage. Please consult the 'Stubborn blockages' section of the illustrations for further guidance.
  • If you cannot clear an obstruction you may need to remove the brush bar. Use a coin to unlock the fastener marked with a padlock. Remove the obstruction. Replace the brush bar and secure it by tightening the fastener. Ensure it is fixed firmly before operating the machine.
  • This machine has carbon fiber brushes. Take care if coming into contact with them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after handling the brushes.
  • Refit all parts securely before using.
