LOOKING AftER YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
• Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this
Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by the Dyson Customer Care Helpline.
• Only use parts recommended by Dyson. If you do not this could invalidate your
Dyson guarantee.
• Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 3°C (37.4°F). Ensure
the appliance is at room temperature before operating.
• Clean the appliance only with a dry cloth. Do not use any lubricants, cleaning
agents, polishes or air fresheners on any part of the appliance.
• If used in a garage, always wipe the base plate and ball with a dry cloth
after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could damage
delicate floors.
VACUUmING
• Do not use without the clear bin and cyclone in place.
• Do not use on rubble, ash or plaster. This appliance is designed only for
domestic use to remove household dirt, hair and allergens. The appliance is not
designed to be used on:
– debris produced from activities such as DIY, building or similar tasks
– larger types and quantities of dust or debris, such as soot and sawdust.
These materials may harm the appliance and may void your guarantee.
• Fine dirt such as flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
• Do not use the appliance to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper
clips, etc. They may damage the appliance.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the
clear bin or wand. These are harmless and are not associated with the mains
electricity supply. To minimise 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’).
• Do not work with the appliance above you on the stairs.
• Do not put the appliance on chairs, tables, etc.
• Before vacuuming highly polished floors, such as wood or lino, first check that
the underside of the floor tool and its brushes are free from foreign objects that
could cause marking.
• Do not push hard with the floor tool when vacuuming, as this may
cause damage.
• On waxed floors the movement of the cleaner head may create an uneven
lustre. If this happens, wipe with a damp cloth, polish the area with wax, and
wait for it to dry.
• Do not leave the cleaner head in one place on delicate floors.
• To reduce suction (for example, when vacuuming curtains or rugs), simply pull
the suction release trigger on the handle to reduce airflow. Alternatively, slide
open the two red tabs on the cleaner head (it is easier to open the tab from
beneath, and to close it from the top).
EmPtYING thE CLEAR bIN
• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before emptying the clear bin.
• To remove the cyclone and clear bin unit, push the release button to the side of
the carrying handle, as shown. The carrying handle will be released.
• To release the dirt, press the red bin release button.
• To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in
a plastic bag and empty.
• Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.
• Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
• Close the clear bin base so it clicks into place and is secure.
• Place the cyclone and clear bin unit into position on the front of the main body
of the appliance. The recess in the base of the clear bin must fit onto the lug on
the support bracket.
• Push the carrying handle down so it clicks into place on the top of the cyclone
and clear bin unit. Ensure it is secure.
CLEANING thE CLEAR bIN
• Remove cyclone and clear bin (see 'Emptying the clear bin').
• To separate the cyclone from the clear bin press the red bin release button
to open the bin base. This exposes a small silver button behind the red
opening mechanism.
• Press the small silver button on the cyclone. Separate the cyclone from the
clear bin.
• Clean the clear bin with cold water only.
• Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
• Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.
• Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.
• Clean the cyclone shroud with a cloth or the provided brush to remove any lint
and dust.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
• To replace, first close the clear bin base so it clicks into place and is secure.
• Fit the clear bin onto the cyclone. To secure it, first fit the slot on the front rim of
the clear bin onto the lug on the front of the cyclone; then push the rear of the
clear bin into place so the silver button engages and clicks into place.
• Fit the cyclone and clear bin unit onto the appliance (see 'Emptying the clear
bin').
bLOCKAGES – thERmAL CUt-OUt
• This appliance is fitted with an automatically resetting thermal cut-out.
• If any part becomes blocked the appliance may overheat and automatically
cut-out.
• If this happens, follow the instructions below in 'Looking for blockages'.
• NOTE: Large items may block the tools or wand inlet. If this happens, do not
operate the wand release catch. Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury.
LOOKING fOR bLOCKAGES
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before looking for blockages. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury.
• Leave to cool down for 1-2 hours before looking for blockages.
• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
• To access the flexible inspection hose beneath the clear bin, first remove the
clear bin (see above).
• Unscrew the two Phillips screws on the clear bin locator bracket. (Do not remove
any other screws.) Remove the bracket.
