Looking For Blockages; Emptying The Clear Bin Tm; Cleaning The Clear Bin Tm - Dyson DC22 Operating Manual

USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM CLEANER
PLEASE NOTE:
• Fine dust such as plaster or flour should only be vacuumed in very small
amounts.
• Consult your flooring manufacturer's recommended instructions before
vacuuming and caring for your flooring, rugs and carpets. Some carpets will
fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this is the case, we
recommend vacuuming in hard floors mode and consulting with your flooring
manufacturer.
• 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 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
TM
minimise any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object into the
clear bin unless you have emptied it and rinsed it out with cold water.

EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN

remove the clear bin from the vacuum cleaner press the button at the rear of
TM
the carrying handle. To release the dirt, press the button again to open the clear
bin . Emptying inside a bag is recommended for allergy sufferers.
