USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM

Press foot pedal and recline handle to use. The stabilizer stand will automatically lift up. To switch ‘ON’, depress power button in front of handle. After cleaning, push vacuum into an upright position and stabilizer wheels will automatically drop. Use the cyclone carry handle to carry the vacuum.

CAUTION:

• Do not use or store this machine below 32°F (0°C). Ensure that the machine is at room temperature before operating.
• Do not allow the vacuum to be used by anyone who may not be able to operate it safely.
• The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
• Always switch off and unplug the vacuum before performing maintenance on your vacuum.
• When returning to the upright position, ensure that the stabilizer wheels are fully engaged before releasing the vacuum.
• Ensure the cyclone is secured to the vacuum. Do not press the cyclone release button or shake the vacuum while carrying or it could fall and cause injury.
• Store the vacuum indoors. Put the vacuum away after use with the cord coiled safely, to prevent tripping hazards.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids – electric shock could occur.
• Check to ensure your electricity supply corresponds to that shown on the rating plate, which can be found behind the clear bin. The vacuum must only be used as rated.
• Do not lubricate any parts, or carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline.

PLEASE NOTE:

• This vacuum is intended for domestic use only. Fine dust such as plaster dust or flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
• Do not use the vacuum to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper clips, etc. They may damage the vacuum.
• Consult your flooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before vacuuming and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpet. The brush bar on the machine can damage certain carpet types and floors.
• If unsure turn brush bar off in order to enable proper operation. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in bare floors mode and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear bin or wand. These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the 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 and rinsed it out with cold water (see ‘clear bin cleaning section).

CARPETS/HARD FLOORS

• The brush bar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch on the vacuum and recline it for cleaning. The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. If the brush bar stops during use, please refer to the ‘Clearing brush bar obstructions’ section.
• To switch the brush bar off (e.g. for hard floors), recline the vacuum and turn it ‘ON’, then press the brush bar ‘ON/OFF’ button – the brush bar will stop spinning.

HIGH-REACH CLEANING

CAUTION:

• Switch ‘OFF’ vacuum before changing tools.
• Powerful suction can cause the hose to ‘pull back’ - please take care.
• Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs; do not work with the vacuum above you on the stairs. Do not put the vacuum on chairs, tables etc.
• Ensure vacuum is in upright position before using tools.

PLEASE NOTE:

• To release the wand, open the wand cap and pull the red tube until the wand releases from the vacuum. Tools can be attached to either the hose or wand.
• The brush bar will not rotate when the vacuum is in an upright position.
• Ensure wand cap is closed when not in use.

CLEAR BIN EMPTYING

CAUTION: PLEASE NOTE:

• Switch ‘OFF’ vacuum and unplug the vacuum before emptying the clear bin
• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill. To remove the clear bin from the vacuum press the button at rear of cyclone carrying handle. To release the dirt, press the red clear bin release button.
• Do not use the vacuum without the clear bin in place.
• To minimize dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase bin tightly in a plastic bag and empty. Remove bin carefully and seal bag tightly, dispose as normal.

CLEAR BIN CLEANING

CAUTION:

• Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
• Do not put the bin in a dishwasher.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear bin. These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the mains 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 and rinsed it out with cold water.
• Clean the shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.

WASHING YOUR FILTERS DO THIS EVERY 3 MONTHS

IMPORTANT! WASH FILTER

• Wash filters with cold water at least every 3 months.

• Rinse and shake filter under tap. Turn over and tap very firmly to remove motor emissions. Repeat 10x or until water runs clear.

• Lie vacuum flat and attach cleaner head by sliding it on until it clicks.
• Stand vacuum up straight, attach wand to hose and push into place until it clicks.
• Push wand down into hose and attach tools to the side of the vacuum.

CAUTION:

• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the vacuum before removing the filters.
• Ensure filters are completely dry before refitting to the vacuum.

PLEASE NOTE:

• This vacuum has two filters, located as shown. It is important to check your filters regularly and wash at least every 3 months according to instructions, to maintain performance.
• The filter in the ball should be rinsed and tapped out until the water runs clean, then tapped out again to ensure all excess water is removed. Please leave to dry completely for 24 hours.
• It is normal for this filter in the ball to turn grey in color. The filters may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
• Do not use detergents to clean the filters.
• Do not put the filters in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave or near an open flame.

LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES

CAUTION:

• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the vacuum before checking for blockages. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• Please ensure the vacuum is upright and switched off before removing hose or airway inspection parts.
• Beware of sharp objects when clearing blockages.
• Refit all parts of the vacuum securely before using.

PLEASE NOTE:

Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the vacuum and leave to cool down for at least 60 minutes before attempting to check filters or for blockages. Clear blockage before restarting.

CLEARING BRUSH BAR OBSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION:

• Switch off and unplug the vacuum 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 the brush bar as shown and clear any obstructing debris. Refit all parts securely before use.
