USINg YOUR DYSON VACUUM ClEANER
CAUTION:
• This vacuum cleaner's hose contains electrical connections: Do not use to suck up water or
other liquids, do not immerse in water for cleaning. The hose should be checked regularly
and must not be used if damaged.
PleASe NoTe:
• Fine dust such as plaster dust or flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
• Do not use the machine 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. The brush bar on the vacuum 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 hard floors mode and consulting with your flooring
manufacturer.
• The brush bar will re-set to 'oN' each time you start the machine. The brush bar will
automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. If the brush bar stops during use, please refer
to the blockages section.
• 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.
• only use parts recommended by Dyson; failure to do so could invalidate your guarantee.

To release the dirt, press the button again to open the bin. To minimise 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.
