Carpets or hard floors
• Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer's
recommended cleaning instructions.
• The brush bar on the appliance 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 motorized floor tool and consulting with your
flooring manufacturer.
• 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.
Looking after your Dyson appliance

Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline.

your warranty.

Vacuuming

• 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
