USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM CLEANER
PLEASE NOTE:
• Always extend the cable fully to the red tape before use.
• 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.
• Consult your flooring manufacturer's recommended instructions before
vacuuming and caring for your floorings, rugs and carpets. Some carpets will
fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens,
we recommend vacuuming in hard floors mode and consulting with your
flooring manufacturer.
• If used in a garage when car cleaning, care should be taken to wipe the
soleplate and wheels with a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt
or pebbles which could damage delicate floors.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear
bin. These are entirely harmless and not associated with the main 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 rinsed it out with cold water.
• Only use parts recommended by Dyson; failure to do so could invalidate your
guarantee.
EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN
CAUTION:
• Switch OFF and unplug the vacuum cleaner 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 machine press the button at the rear of the
carrying handle. To release the dirt, press the red button to open the bin.
The British Allergy Foundation has approved this product. It is a UK national
charity with the aim of improving awareness, prevention and treatment of
allergies. The British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval is a UK registered
trademark of The British Allergy Foundation.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the clear bin in place.
• To minimise dust and 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.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
CAUTION:
• Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
• Clean the shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dirt.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
• Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.
WASHING YOUR FILTERS
DO THIS EVERY MONTH
CAUTION:
• Switch OFF and unplug the vacuum cleaner before removing the filters.
• Ensure filters are completely dry before refitting into the vacuum cleaner.
This machine has two filters, located as shown. It is important to check your
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. Please leave to dry completely for
24 hours.
PLEASE NOTE:
• 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.

LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
CAUTION:
• Switch OFF and unplug the vacuum cleaner before checking for blockages.
• Beware of sharp objects when clearing blockages.
• Refit all parts of the machine securely before using.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your machine's limited guarantee.
If any part of your machine becomes blocked, it may overheat and then
automatically shut off. Unplug the vacuum cleaner and leave to cool down.
Clear any blockage before restarting.
• Large items may block the tools or wand inlet, if this happens switch the vacuum
cleaner off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before removing the blockage.
Do not operate the wand release catch.
