USING YOUR DYSON MACHINE
PLEASE READ THE ‘IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS’ IN YOUR DYSON USER
MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
INSTALLING YOUR DOCKING STATION
• Unpack the docking station, charger and installation leaflet.
• Choose a suitable location for the docking station and make sure there is no
pipework (gas, water or air), electrical cables, wires or ductwork directly behind the
mounting location.
• Follow the instructions on the installation leaflet.
• Click the tools into place on the docking station.
• Place the machine into the docking station.
• Plug the charger into the mains electricity supply. Switch on (if necessary) to charge
the battery.
• It is important to fully charge your machine before using for the first time and after
every use.
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, eyewear and materials when
installing the docking station.
USING YOUR MACHINE
• Remove the appliance from the docking station.
• Check that the underside of the cleaner head or tool is clean and free from foreign
objects that may cause damage.
Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer's
recommended cleaning instructions.
The brush bar on the appliance 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 motorised floor tool and consulting with your
flooring manufacturer.
EMPTYING YOUR CLEAR BIN
• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the MAX level – don't overfill. Using the machine
when the dirt is above the MAX line may cause the dirt to reach the filter and more
frequent maintenance will be required.
• Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the charger before emptying the
clear bin. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
• The 'ON' trigger cannot be operated while the clear bin is open for emptying.
• Remove the wand by pressing the red wand release button and pulling away from
the bin.
• To release the dirt:
– Hold the appliance with the bin in a downwards position.
– Firmly push the red bin release button.
– The bin will slide down, cleaning the shroud as it goes.
– The bin base will then open.
– The bin base will not open if the red button is not pushed down fully.
To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in a
dust proof bag and empty. Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag. Seal the
bag tightly, dispose as normal.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN (OPTIONAL)
If it is necessary to clean the clear bin:
• Follow the instructions in the ‘Emptying the clear bin’ section.
• Press the red button located on the bin runner to release the bin and slide the bin
off the runner.
• Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only.
• Ensure that the clear bin and seals are completely dry before replacing.
• To refit the clear bin:
– Insert the spine on to the bin runner.
Close the clear bin by pushing the bin base upwards until the clear bin and bin base
click into place.
The clear bin is not dishwasher safe and the use of detergents, polishes or air
fresheners to clean the clear bin is not recommended as this may damage
your appliance.
FILTER AND BLOCKAGE INDICATOR LEDS
Your appliance has two indicator lights that will help alert you that simple
maintenance steps are needed.
• The filter indicator will flash intermittently when the filter unit is not fitted correctly.
Follow the instructions on how to refit the filter unit in the 'Washing the filter unit'
section.
• The filter indicator will light continuously when the filter unit needs washing. Follow
the instructions on how to wash the filter unit in the 'Washing the filter unit' section.
• The blockage Indicator LED will light if there is a blockage. Follow the instructions
on how to clear blockages in the 'Looking for blockages' section.
WASHABLE PARTS
Your appliance has washable parts, which require regular cleaning. Follow the
instructions below.
WASHING THE FILTER UNIT
The LCD display will alert you when the filter unit needs washing. We recommend
that you wash your filter at least once a month or when your machine alerts you.
• Remove the filter unit by twisting anticlockwise to the open position. Gently pull
away from the appliance.
• Wash the inside of the filter unit first; hold it upright under the cold water tap and
agitate using a rotating motion.
• Wash the outside of the filter unit; fill the unit with cold water, place your hand over
the open end and shake gently.
• Repeat washing the inside and outside of the filter unit until the water runs clear.
• Gently tap the filter unit to remove any excess water and leave to dry with the open
end facing up.
• Leave the filter unit to dry completely for a minimum of 24 hours.
• Check that the filter unit is completely dry.
• To refit, return the filter unit to the open position and twist clockwise until it clicks
into place.
The filter unit may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust or using
mainly Boost mode.
Don't put any part of your machine in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble
dryer, oven, microwave or near a naked flame.
BLOCKAGES – AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT
• This appliance is fitted with an automatic cut-out.
• If any part becomes blocked, the appliance may automatically cut out.
• This will happen after the motor pulses a number of times (i.e switches on and off in
quick succession) and the blockage indicator LED will illuminate.
• Leave to cool down before looking for blockages.
• Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the charger before looking for
blockages. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• Make sure any blockages are clear and all parts are refitted before using
your machine.
• Refit all parts securely before using.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your Dyson guarantee.
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
The motor will pulse and the blockage indicator LED will illuminate when there is a
blockage. Please follow the instructions below to locate the blockage:
• Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the charger before looking for
blockages. Be careful not to pull the ‘ON’ trigger.
• Do not operate while checking for blockages. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
• To check for blockages in the main body of the appliance, remove the clear
bin following the instructions in the 'Cleaning the clear bin' section and remove
the blockage.
• If you cannot clear an obstruction from the cleanerhead, you may need to remove
the brush bar. Use a coin to unlock the fastener, slide the brush bar out of the
cleanerhead and remove the obstruction. Replace the brush bar and secure it by
tightening the fastener. Ensure it is fixed firmly before operating the appliance.
• This machine has carbon fibre 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.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your Dyson guarantee.
CHARGING AND STORING
• This appliance will switch ‘OFF’ if the battery temperature is below 3°C
(37.4°F). This is designed to protect the motor and battery. Do not charge the
appliance and then move it to an area with a temperature below 3°C (37.4°F) for
storage purposes.
• To help prolong battery life, avoid recharging immediately after a full discharge.
Allow to cool for a few minutes.
• Avoid using the machine with the battery flush to a surface. This will help it run
cooler and prolong battery run time and life.
BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• If the battery needs replacing, please contact the Dyson Helpline.
• Use only the Dyson charger Part Number 217160 or 270576 for charging this
Dyson machine.
• The battery is a sealed unit and under normal circumstances poses no safety
concerns. In the unlikely event that liquid leaks from the battery, do not touch the
liquid and observe the following precautions:
– Skin contact – can cause irritation. Wash with soap and water.
– Inhalation – can cause respiratory irritation. Expose to fresh air and seek medical
advice.
– Eye contact – can cause irritation. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for
at least 15minutes. Seek medical attention.
