CAUTION:

or nozzle.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Do not use or store this vacuum cleaner below 32°F (0°C). Ensure that the vacuum
cleaner is at room temperature before operating.
• Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used by anyone who may not be able
to operate it safely.
• The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
• Always switch 'OFF' and unplug the vacuum cleaner before performing maintenance
on your vacuum cleaner.
• Ensure the cyclone is secured to the vacuum cleaner. Do not press the cyclone release
button or shake the vacuum cleaner while carrying or it could fall and cause injury.
• Store the vacuum cleaner indoors. Put the vacuum cleaner away after use with the
cord coiled safely, to prevent tripping hazards.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids – electric
shock could occur.
• Check to ensure your electricity supply corresponds to that shown on the rating plate,
which can be found behind the clear bin. The vacuum cleaner must only be used
as rated.
• Do not lubricate any parts, or carry out any maintenance or repair work other than
that shown in this Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline.
• This vacuum cleaner is intended for domestic use only. Fine dust such as plaster dust
or flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper
clips, etc. They may damage the vacuum cleaner.
• Consult your flooring manufacturer's recommended instructions before vacuuming
and caring for your flooring, rugs and carpet. The brush bar on the machine can
damage certain carpet types and floors. If unsure turn the brush bar off in order to
enable proper operation. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when
vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in bare floors mode and
consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear
bin or wand. These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the 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 section).

carrying handle.
To release the dirt, press the red clear bin release button.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the clear bin in place.
