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 pulling the suction release trigger to reduce
brush bar spin.
•
The brush bar on the appliance may damage some carpet types and delicate
hard flooring. If you are unsure, pull the suction release trigger to reduce brush
bar spin. Alternatively, use a Dyson Hard floor tool (available as an option).
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
warranty.
•
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 filter 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 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 '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 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
lustre. If this happens, wipe with a damp cloth, polish the area with wax, and
wait for it to dry.
•
To reduce suction (for example, when vacuuming rugs), pull the suction release
trigger on the handle to reduce the airflow.
EmPtYING thE CLEAR bIN

To minimize dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in
a plastic bag and empty.

and cyclone unit. Ensure it is secure.
CLEANING thE CLEAR bIN
