USING YOUR DYSON MACHINE
PLEASE READ THE 'IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS' IN YOUR DYSON
USER MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.

CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS
• Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer's
recommended cleaning instructions.
• The brush bar on the machine can damage certain carpet types and floors.
Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this
happens, we recommend vacuuming without the motorised floor tool and
consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
• 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.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR DYSON MACHINE
• Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in your
Dyson User 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 with a dry cloth only. Do not use any lubricants, cleaning
agents, polishes or air fresheners on any part of the appliance.
USING YOUR MACHINE
• Do not use without the clear bin and filter(s) 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
36
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. Clean the
clear bin with a damp cloth only. (See 'Cleaning the clear bin'.)
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not rest the appliance on chairs, tables, etc.
• Do not press down on the nozzle with excessive force when using the appliance
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 YOUR CLEAR BIN
• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the MAX level – don't overfill. Using the machine
when the dirt is above the MAX line may cause the dirt to reach the filter and more
frequent maintenance will be required.
• Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the charger before emptying the
clear bin. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
• To make emptying the clear bin easier, it is advisable to remove the floor tool.
• To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, cover the clear bin tightly in
a dust proof bag while you empty.
• To release the dirt, hold the appliance by the handle, pull the red lever back and
lift upwards to release the cyclone. Continue until the bin base automatically
opens and releases the dirt.
• Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.
• Seal the bag tightly and dispose.
• To close, push the cyclone downwards until it is in the normal position and
manually close the base of the bin – the base will click when it is securely
in place.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before removing the
clear bin. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
• Remove the floor tool.
• To remove the cyclone, hold the appliance by the handle, pull the red lever
towards you and lift upwards until the bin opens, then push in the red button
located behind the cyclone and lift the cyclone out.
• To detach the clear bin from the appliance, pull back on the red catch located
at the base, slide the clear bin down and carefully remove forwards from the
main body.
• Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only.
• Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
• Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
• To replace the clear bin, align the tabs on the clear bin with the grooves on
the main body and slide upwards into place until the catch clicks.
• Slide the cyclone into the grooves of the main body and push downwards until
it is in its normal position and manually close the base of the bin – the base will
click when it is securely in place.
WASHABLE PARTS
Your machine has washable parts, which require regular cleaning. Follow the
instructions below.
WASHING YOUR FILTER
• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before removing the
filter. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
• Your appliance has one washable filter, located as shown.
• To remove the filter, lift it out of the top of the appliance.
• Check and wash the filter regularly according to instructions to
maintain performance.
• The filter may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust or if used
mainly in 'Powerful suction' mode.
• Wash the filter with cold water only.
• 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.
• Leave to dry completely for a minimum of 24 hours.
• Do not put any part of your appliance in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble
dryer, oven, microwave or near a naked flame.
• To refit, place the dry filter back into the top of the appliance. Make sure it is
seated properly.
BLOCKAGES – AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT
• Your machine is fitted with an automatic cut-out.
• If any part becomes blocked, the machine may automatically cut out.
• This will happen after the motor pulses a number of times (i.e switches on and
off in quick succession).
• Leave to cool down before looking for blockages.
• Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the charger before looking for
blockages. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• Make sure any blockages are clear and all parts are refitted before using
your machine.
• Refit all parts securely before using.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
The motor will pulse when there is a blockage. Please follow the instructions
below to locate the blockage:
• Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the charger before looking for
blockages. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
• Do not operate while checking for blockages. Doing so could result in
personal injury.
• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
• To check for blockages in the main body of the appliance, remove the clear
bin and cyclone as per the instructions in the cleaning the clear bin section and
