USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
PLEASE READ THE 'IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS' IN THIS DYSON
OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
ASSEMBLY
• Lie the appliance on its back.
• The cleaner head fits onto the connections underneath the front part of the ball.
Slide the cleaner head up into the channels either side of the airway. Push firmly:
the cleaner head will click into place and the red latch will engage.
• Stand the appliance up straight.
• Place the handle and wand assembly into the grooves in the top of the duct on
the appliance.
• Push the red handle release button down. Slide the handle down in the grooves
for about 10cm. Let go of the button. Pull up the handle gently until it clicks into
place – the red handle release button will pop up.
• Connect the wand and the hose. Make sure they are seated in the recess of the
handle.
• Push the red handle release button down whilst pressing the red button on the
hose. Slide the handle down into place in the machine. The red handle release
button will remain down. This is the storage position.
• Close the wand cap.
• To fit the tool holder, first remove the cyclone and clear bin assembly: release it
by pressing the red button at the top of the cyclone.
• Slide the tool holder onto the back of the appliance, just above the ball, as
shown. Press the tool holder on with your thumbs, while holding the front of the
appliance with your fingers. The fitting is tight, so use a constant, firm pressure.
(Please note: The tool holder is not designed to be removed.)
• Refit the cyclone and clear bin unit.
• Attach the tools.
• Wind the cable around the cable hooks. Secure with the clip.

OPERATION

• Unwind the cable.
• Plug the appliance into the mains electricity supply.
• To use, pull up the handle to extend it. The red handle release button will pop
up. Recline the appliance by pulling backwards on the handle.
• To switch 'ON' or 'OFF' press the red power button, located as shown.
• After use, return the appliance to the upright position, pushing it firmly into
place. The stabiliser wheels will automatically lower.
• To retract the handle, make sure the hose and wand are seated in the recess of
the handle.
• Push the red handle release button down. Slide the handle down into place in
the appliance.
• Then unplug the appliance, coil the cable safely and put the appliance away.
• Switch 'OFF' the appliance, unplug and ensure it is upright before:
– changing or using tools
– removing the hose or airway inspection parts.
• Use the cyclone carry handle to carry the machine.
• The wand can be used when the handle is retracted or extended.
• To release the wand, open the wand release cap.
• Pull the wand up and away from the handle.
• In use, the tools can be attached to either the hose or the wand.
• To attach the tools to the hose, press the red release button in the connecting
collar and remove the wand from the hose.
• To refit, remove tools and place the wand into the hose until the red button clicks
into place.
• Press the red button on the hose. Slide the wand into the hose.
• Make sure the wand and hose are seated in the recess of the handle. The hose
must be contracted.
• If the handle is extended, hold the collar with the cable hook on it and slide it
down in the recess of the handle – it will click into place. Make sure the top of the
wand clicks into place in the top of the handle at the same time. Close the wand
cap.
• Press the red handle release button down and slide the handle down into the
appliance.
• If the handle is contracted (i.e. in the low storage position), make sure the collar
with the cable hook is seated in the recess of the handle. Slide the wand down
into the hose so the top of the wand clicks into place in the top of the handle at
the same time.
SELF-ADJUSTING CLEANER HEAD WITH
SUCTION CONTROL
• This cleaner head is used for testing with the European Regulations: No.
665/2013 and No. 666/2013.
POWERFUL SUCTION
• For daily vacuuming of carpets, rugs and hard flooring.
– Your appliance is pre-set to this level of suction when you take it out of the
box. This is the setting you will normally use to vacuum.
MAXIMUM SUCTION
• For vacuuming heavily soiled carpets, rugs and hard flooring.
– To switch to this setting, move the suction control slider on top of the cleaner
head as shown.
– Before vacuuming, check the flooring manufacturer's cleaning
recommendations.
– After vacuuming, move the suction control slider back to its original position
as shown.
CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS
• The brush bar will always default to 'ON' (spinning) each time you switch the
appliance 'ON' and recline it for cleaning.
• The brush bar will not rotate when the appliance is upright.
• To switch the brush bar 'OFF' (e.g. for delicate rugs and delicate flooring):
– switch the appliance 'ON'
– recline the appliance
– press the brush bar 'ON/OFF' button – the brush bar will stop spinning.
16
• 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 vacuuming with the brush bar switched 'OFF' and
consulting with the flooring manufacturer.
• The brush bar on the appliance may damage some carpet types. If you are
unsure, turn 'OFF' the brush bar.
• Check the brush bar regularly and clear away any debris (such as hair). Debris
left on the brush bar may cause damage to flooring when vacuuming.
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 Helpline.
• Only use parts recommended by Dyson. If you do not this could invalidate your
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 filters in place.
• 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. When cleaning stairs it
is recommended that the handle is not extended and that you use a tool on the
end of the hose rather than the wand.
• 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 leave the cleaner head in one place on 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 cyclone and clear bin unit, press down on the red button on the
top of the carrying handle on the cyclone.
• To release the dirt, press all the way down on the same red button on the top of
the carrying handle on the cyclone.
• 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.
• To refit:
– ensure the airway in the bin base is clear of dust and dirt
– close the clear bin base so it clicks into place
– push the cyclone and clear bin unit into the main body of the appliance; it will
click into place
– ensure the cyclone and clear bin unit is secure.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
• Remove the cyclone and clear bin (see 'Emptying the clear bin').
• To separate the cyclone unit from the clear bin press the red button to open
the clear bin base. This exposes a small silver button behind the red opening
mechanism. Press the silver button (on its ribbed area) and separate the cyclone
unit 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 dry brush to remove any lint and dust.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
• To refit:
– fit the cyclone shroud into the clear bin so that the silver button clicks
and engages
– close the clear bin base so it clicks into place
– push the cyclone and clear bin unit into the main body of the appliance; it will
click into place
– ensure the cyclone and clear bin unit is secure.
WASHING YOUR FILTERS
• Your appliance has two washable filters, located as shown.
• Check and wash the filters regularly according to instructions to maintain
performance.
• Switch 'OFF' and unplug before checking or removing the filters.
• The filters may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
• Wash with cold water only. Do not use detergents.
• Do not put the filters in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,
microwave or near a naked flame.
Filter A
• Remove the cyclone and clear bin (see 'Emptying the clear bin').
• Release the catch on the front of the cyclone handle and then remove the filter.
• Wash the filter with cold water only. Hold under a tap and run water through the
open end until the water runs clear. Turn upside down and tap out.
• Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.
• Run water over the outside of the filter until the water runs clear.
• Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.
