USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
PLEASE READ THE 'IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS' IN THIS DYSON
OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
CARRYING THE APPLIANCE
•
Carry the appliance by the main handle on the body.
•
Do not press the cyclone release button or shake the appliance when carrying as the
cyclone could disengage, fall off and cause injury.
OPERATION
•
Always extend the cable fully to the red tape before use.
•
Plug the appliance into the mains electricity supply.
•
To switch 'ON' or 'OFF' press the red power button, located as shown.
•
After use: unplug, retract the cable safely, put the appliance away.
•
Switch 'OFF' the appliance and unplug before:
– Changing tools.
– Removing the hose or airway inspection parts.
CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS
•
The brush bar will always default to 'ON' (spinning) each time you switch the
appliance 'ON'.
•
To reduce the speed of the brush bar (e.g. for delicate flooring and delicate hard
floors), pull the suction release trigger on the handle.
•
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 machine 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).
•
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.
VACUUMING
•
Do not use without the clear bin and cyclone in place.
•
Do not use on rubble, ash or plaster. This appliance is designed only for domestic use
to remove household dirt, hair, and dust allergens. The appliance is not designed to
be used on:
– debris produced from activities such as DIY, building or similar tasks
– larger types and quantities of dust or debris, such as soot and sawdust.
These materials may harm the appliance and may void your guarantee.
•
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 minimise any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object into
the clear bin unless you have first emptied it and cleaned it with a damp cloth (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 lino, 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.
BLOCKAGES – THERMAL CUT-OUT
•
This appliance is fitted with an automatically resetting thermal cut-out.
•
If any part becomes blocked the appliance may overheat and automatically cut out.
•
If this happens, follow the instructions below in 'Looking for blockages'.
NOTE: Large items may block the tools or wand inlet. If this happens, do not operate
the wand release catch. Switch 'OFF' and unplug. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
•
Switch 'OFF' and unplug before looking for blockages. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury.
•
Leave to cool down before looking for blockages.
•
Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
•
To access the inspection channel, remove the main hose and clear bin.
•
Inspect for blockages.
•
Clear any blockage before restarting.
•
Refit all parts securely before using.
•
Clearing blockages is not covered by your Dyson guarantee.
BRUSH BAR – CLEARING OBSTRUCTIONS
•
If your brush bar is obstructed, it may shut 'OFF'. If this happens you will need to
remove the brush bar as shown.
•
Switch 'OFF' and unplug before proceeding. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
•
Remove the brush bar by using a coin to loosen the fastener marked with a padlock
until it clicks.
•
Beware of sharp objects when clearing obstructions.
•
Replace the brush bar and secure it by tightening the fastener until it clicks.
Ensure that it is fixed firmly before operating.
•
Clearing brush bar obstructions is not covered by your guarantee.
•
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.
EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN
•
Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
•
Switch 'OFF' and unplug before emptying the clear bin.
•
To remove the cyclone and clear bin unit, push the red button on the top of the
carrying handle, as shown.

•
To release the dirt, firmly push the red bin release button.
– The bin will slide down, cleaning the shroud as it goes.
– The bin base will then open.
•
The bin base will not open if the red button is not pushed down fully.
•
To minimise dust contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in a plastic bag
and empty.
•
Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.
•
Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
•
Close the clear bin by pushing the bin base upwards until it clicks into place.
•
Push the bin base clip firmly until it clicks into position to ensure that the base is
securely sealed.
•
Align the base of the clear bin with the air hose inlet and then click back into place.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN (OPTIONAL)
•
In the event that it is necessary to clean the clear bin:
•
Remove the cyclone and clear bin and push the red bin base release button.
•
Pull the silver catch behind the red bin release button and slide the clear bin off the
spine on the cyclone.
•
Clean the clear bin with cold water only.
•
Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
•
Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.
•
Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.
•
Ensure that the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
•
To refit the clear bin:
– Insert the spine into the bin runner.
– Push upwards until it clicks and then continue pushing until it slides home.
•
Close the clear bin by pushing the bin base upwards. Ensure that the bin base clicks
and the clip is securely in place.
WASHING YOUR FILTER
•
Your appliance has one washable filter, located as shown.
•
Check and wash the filter regularly according to instructions to
maintain performance.
•
Switch 'OFF' and unplug before checking or removing the filter.
•
The filter may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
•
Wash the filter with cold water only. Hold under a tap and run water through the open
end until the water runs clear. Turn upside down and tap out.
•
Run water over the outside of the filter for 15 seconds.
•
Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure that the excess water is removed.
•
Place the filter on its side to dry completely.
•
Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,
microwave or near a naked flame.
•
IMPORTANT: After washing please leave at least 24 hours to dry completely
before refitting.
