USING YOUR DYSON MACHINE
PLEASE READ THE ‘IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS’ IN THIS DYSON OPERATING
MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING
CARRYING THE MACHINE
• Carry the machine by the main handle on the body.
• Do not press the cyclone release button or shake the machine when carrying, or the
cyclone could disengage, fall off and cause injury.
OPERATION
• Always extend the cord fully to the red tape before use.
• Plug the machine into the main electricity supply.
• To switch ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ press the power button, located as shown.
• After use: unplug, retract the cord safely, put the machine away.
• Switch ‘OFF’ the machine and unplug before:
– changing or using tools.
– removing the hose or airway inspection parts.
• Check to ensure your electricity supply corresponds to that shown on the rating plate,
which can be found behind the clear bin. The machine must only be used as rated.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR DYSON MACHINE
• Do not use without the clear bin and filter 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 main 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 machine above you on the stairs.
• Do not put the machine on chairs, tables, etc.
• 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.
• Do not push hard with the floor tool when vacuuming, 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.
• Do not use this machine outdoors. The Dyson Car Cleaning Kit (Model 08909) is intended
for use only inside a garage.
VACUUMING
• Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this Dyson
Operating Manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline.
• Only use parts recommended by Dyson. If you do not this could invalidate your guarantee.
• Store the machine indoors. Do not use or store it below 32°F. 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.
• If used in a garage, always wipe the base plate with a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean
off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could damage delicate floors.
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 clear bin from the machine press the button at the rear of the carrying handle.
• To release the dirt, press the red bin release button.
• To minimize dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in a plastic
bag and empty.
• Remove the clear bin carefully.
• Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
• Clean the clear bin with cold water only.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
• 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 unit in water or pour water into it.
• Clean the cyclone shroud with a dry cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.
WASHING YOUR FILTER
DO THIS AT LEAST EVERY 3 MONTHS
• Your machine has one washable filter, located as shown.
• Check and wash the filter regularly according to instructions to maintain performance.
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before checking or removing the filter.
• The filter may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
• Wash the filter with cold water only. Do not use detergents.
• Leave to dry completely for 24 hours.
• Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave or
near an open flame.
IMPORTANT: After washing please leave the filter to dry completely, at least 24 hours,
before refitting.
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before looking for blockages. Do not operate the wand release
catch. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
• Refit all parts securely before using.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your warranty.
CLEARING BLOCKAGES – THERMAL CUT-OUT
• Large items may block the tools or wand inlet. If this happens, do not operate the wand
release catch. Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug, then remove blockage.
• This machine is fitted with an automatically resetting thermal cut-out. If any part becomes
blocked the machine may overheat and automatically cut-out.
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug. Leave to cool down for 1-2 hours before checking the filter or for
blockages.
• Clear any blockage before restarting.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your warranty.
CLEARING BRUSH BAR OBSTRUCTIONS
• Switch off and unplug the machine before clearing brush bar obstructions. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury.
• If your brush bar is obstructed, it may shut off. If this happens you will need to remove
brush bar and clear any obstructing debris.
• Cleaning the brush bar obstructions is not covered by your warranty.
