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.

OPERATION

CAUTION: This vacuum cleaner's hose contains electrical connections: Do not use to
suck up water or other liquids. Do not immerse in water for cleaning. The hose should be
checked regularly and must not be used if damaged.
• Always extend the cable fully to the red tape before use.
• Plug the appliance into the mains electricity supply.
• To switch 'ON' or 'OFF' press the power button, located as shown.
• After use: unplug, retract the cable safely, put the appliance away.
• Switch 'OFF' the appliance and unplug before:
– adjusting the setting.
– changing or using tools.
– removing the hose or airway inspection parts.
CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS
• The brush bar will always default to 'ON' (spinning) each time you switch the appliance
'ON'.
• 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 in 'hard floor' mode 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.
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 0°C (32°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, care should be taken to wipe the base plate and wheels with a
dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles which could damage
delicate floors.
VACUUMING - CAUTION
• Do not use without the clear bin and filter in place.
• Fine dust such as plaster dust or 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.
• 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 lustre. If this
happens, wipe with a damp cloth, polish the area with wax, and wait for it to dry.
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 at the back of the
carrying handle, as shown.
• To release the dirt, press the button on the front of the clear bin.
• To minimise 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.

awareness, prevention and treatment of allergies. The British Allergy Foundation Seal
of Approval is a UK registered trademark.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
• Remove cyclone and clear bin (instructions above).
• Press the small silver button on the back of the clear bin and separate the cyclone unit
from 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 clear bin in a dishwasher.
• Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into it.
• Clean the cyclone shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.
WASHING YOUR FILTER
DO THIS EVERY 3 MONTHS
• Your appliance 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.
• Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave
or near a naked flame.
IMPORTANT: After washing please leave at least 24 hours to dry completely
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 guarantee.
