USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
PLEASE READ THE 'IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS' IN THIS DYSON
OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
OPERATION
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids –
electric shock could occur.
• Ensure the appliance remains upright in use. Dirt and debris may be released if
it is turned upside down.
• Do not operate while checking for blockages as doing so may result in
personal injury.
• For domestic indoor and car use only. Do not use it while the car is in motion or
while driving.
• To operate the Max mode, locate the switch on the top of the appliance. Slide
the switch to the Max mode position.
• To switch off Max mode, slide the switch back to the Powerful Suction
mode position.
• This appliance has carbon fibre brushes. Take care if coming into contact with
them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after handling
the brushes.
DOCKING STATION INSTALLATION
• Use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type and ensure that the
docking station is mounted securely. Ensure no pipe work (gas, water, air) or
electrical cables, wires or ductwork are located directly behind the mounting
area. The docking station must be mounted in accordance with regulations
and applicable codes/standards (provincial and local laws may apply). Dyson
recommends the use of protective clothing, eyeware and materials when
installing the docking station.
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
• 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.
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 minimize 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 THE CLEAR BIN
• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
• Ensure 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 wand and
floor tool.
• To minimize dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in
a plastic bag and 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, dispose as normal.
• 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.
