ASSEMBLY

Ensure the hose is straight and slide the wand straight down into the hose until it
clicks into place.

Click the wand handle into the top of the vacuum cleaner. Press the red button
on the rear of the wand handle and slide the tube down. Close the wand cap.

USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM CLEANER
Unwind the cord and insert the plug into a suitable outlet. Hold the cleaner head
down with your foot and pull the handle downwards. To switch 'ON' or 'OFF'
press the power button in front of the handle.
CAUTION:
•
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 before performing maintenance on your
vacuum cleaner.
•
When returning to the upright position, ensure that the wand and clear bin
assembly are fully upright before releasing the 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.
•
Do not lubricate any parts, or carry out any maintenance or repair work other
than that shown in this manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline.
PLEASE NOTE:
•
This vacuum cleaner is intended for household 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.
•
The vacuum cleaner may be used inside a garage only when used with the
Model 08909 Dyson Car Cleaning Kit accessories.
•
If used in a garage, care should be taken to wipe the soleplate and wheels with
a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could
damage delicate floors.
•
Consult your flooring manufacturer's recommended instructions before
vacuuming and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpet. 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. These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the mains 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.)
•
Do not use or store this vacuum cleaner below 0°C (32°F). Ensure that the
vacuum cleaner is at room temperature before operating.
HARD FLOORS/CARPETS
Ensure the machine is in an upright position before adjusting the setting. The
brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. If the brush bar stops
during use, please refer to the 'Clearing brush bar obstructions' section.
HIGH-REACH CLEANING
CAUTION:
•
Switch 'OFF' the vacuum cleaner before changing tools.
•
Powerful suction can cause the hose to 'pull back' - please take care.
•
Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs; do not work with the vacuum cleaner
above you on the stairs. Do not put the vacuum on chairs, tables etc.
•
Ensure vacuum cleaner is in upright position before using tools.
PLEASE NOTE:
•
To release the wand, open the wand cap and pull the red tube from inside
the handle until it clicks. Press button to release the wand and hose from the
machine. Tools can be attached to either the hose or wand.
•
The brush bar will not rotate when the vacuum cleaner is in an upright position.
•
Ensure wand cap is closed when not in use.
EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN
CAUTION:
•
Switch 'OFF' the vacuum cleaner and unplug before emptying the clear bin.
•
Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
•
To remove the clear bin from the vacuum, press the button at the rear of cyclone
carrying handle. To release the dirt, press the red bin release button. Emptying
into a bag is recommended for allergy sufferers.
•
Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the clear bin in place.
•
To minimize dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly
in a plastic bag and empty. Remove the clear bin carefully and seal bag tightly,
dispose as normal.

WASHING YOUR FILTERS
DO THIS EVERY 3 MONTHS

filters regularly and wash at least every month according to instructions, to
maintain performance. Filter B should be rinsed and tapped out until the water
runs clean, then tapped out again to ensure all excess water is removed. This
will normally require up to 10 rinse cycles.
•
After washing please leave for 24 hours to dry completely.
•
The filters may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
•
Do not use detergents to clean the filters.
•
Do not put the filters in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,
microwave or near an open flame.
