USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
PLEASE READ THE 'IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS' IN THIS DYSON
OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
CARRYING THE APPLIANCE
• Carry the appliance by the main handle on the body.
• Do not press the cyclone release button or shake the appliance when carrying or
the cyclone could disengage, fall off and cause injury.
CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS
• The brush bar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch the
appliance ‘ON’.
• To reduce the speed of the brush bar (e.g. for delicate flooring and delicate hard
floors), pull the suction release trigger on the handle.
• The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. See ‘Brush bar –
clearing obstructions’.
• Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer's
recommended cleaning instructions.
• Some carpets may fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this
happens, we recommend pulling the suction release trigger to reduce brush
bar spin.
• The brush bar on the appliance may damage some carpet types and delicate
hard flooring. If you are unsure, pull the suction release trigger to reduce brush
bar spin. Alternatively, use a Dyson Hard floor tool (available as an optional
accessory).
• This product 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.
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 pick-up household dirt and hair. 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.
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 red button on the top of the
carrying handle, as shown.
• To release the dirt, 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 plastic bag and empty.
• Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.
• Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
• Close the clear bin by pushing the bin base upwards until it clicks into place.
• Push the bin base clip firmly until it clicks into position to ensure that the base is
securely sealed.
• Align the base of the clear bin with the air hose inlet and then click back
into place
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN (OPTIONAL)
• In the event that it is necessary to clean the clear bin:
– Remove the cyclone and clear bin and push the red bin base release button.
– Pull the silver catch behind the red bin release button and slide the clear bin
off the spine on the cyclone.
• 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 cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
• To refit the clear bin:
– Insert the spine into the bin runner.
– Push upwards until it clicks and then continue pushing until it slides home.
• Close the clear bin by pushing the bin base upwards. Ensure that the bin base
clicks and the clip is securely in place.
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.
• Clear any blockage before restarting.
• Refit all parts securely before using.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your Dyson guarantee.
BRUSH BAR – CLEARING OBSTRUCTIONS
• If your brush bar is obstructed, it may shut 'OFF' (stop spinning). If this happens
you will need to remove the obstruction from the brush bar.
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before proceeding. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
• Remove the brush bar by using a coin to loosen the fastener marked with a
padlock until it clicks.
• Beware of sharp objects when clearing obstructions.
• Replace the brush bar and secure it by tightening the fastener until it clicks.
Ensure it is fixed firmly before operating.
• Clearing brush bar obstructions is not covered by your Dyson guarantee.
• This product 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.
