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 or
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 power button, located as shown.
After use: unplug, retract the cable safely, put the appliance away.
Switch 'OFF' the appliance and unplug before:
– changing or using 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 switch the brush bar 'OFF' (e.g for hard floors or delicate flooring) press in
the button on the cleaner head.
To switch the brush bar 'ON', pull out the button on the cleaner head only
enough so the brush bar engages.
Brush bar control can be done only when the appliance is on.
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 vacuuming in 'hard floor' mode and consulting with
the flooring manufacturer.
The brush bar on the appliance may damage some carpet types. If you are
unsure, turn off the brush bar.
This product 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.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this
Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline.
Only use parts recommended by Dyson. If you do not this could invalidate your
guarantee.
Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 0°C (32°F). Ensure the
appliance is at room temperature before operating.
Clean the appliance only with a dry cloth. Do not use any lubricants, cleaning
agents, polishes or air fresheners on any part of the appliance.
If used in a garage, always wipe the base plate and ball with a dry cloth
after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could damage
delicate floors.
VACUUMING - CAUTION
Do not use without the clear bin and filters in place.
Fine dust such as plaster dust or 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 rinsed it
out with cold water (see 'Cleaning the clear bin').
Powerful suction can cause the hose to 'pull back' – please take care.
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.
Do not leave the cleaner head in one place on delicate floors.
On waxed floors the movement of the cleaner head may create an uneven
lustre. If this happens, wipe with a damp cloth, polish the area with wax, and
wait for it to dry.
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 release button to the side of
the carrying handle, as shown. The carrying handle will be released.
Remove the cyclone and clear bin unit.
To release the dirt, press the red bin release button.
To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in
a plastic bag and empty.
Remove the clear bin carefully.
Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
Close the clear bin base so it clicks into place and is secure.
Place the clear bin and cyclone unit into position on the front of the main body
of the appliance. The recess in the base of the clear bin must fit onto the lug on
the locator bracket.

Push the carrying handle down so it clicks into place on the top of the clear bin
and cyclone unit. Ensure it is secure.

CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
Remove cyclone and clear bin (instructions above).
To separate the cyclone unit from the clear bin press the red bin release button
to open the bin base.
Press the small silver button on the cyclone. Separate the cyclone from the
clear bin.
Clean the clear bin with cold water only.
Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
Do not put clear bin in a dishwasher.
Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into it.
Clean the cyclone shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.
Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
To replace, first close the clear bin base so it clicks into place and is secure.
Fit the clear bin onto the cyclone. To secure it, first fit the slot on the front rim of
the clear bin onto the lug on the front of the cyclone; then push the rear of the
clear bin into place so the silver button engages and clicks into place.
Fit the cyclone and clear bin unit onto the appliance (instructions above).
WASHING THE FILTERS
Your appliance has two washable filters, located as shown.
Check and wash the filters regularly according to instructions to maintain
performance.
Switch 'OFF' and unplug before checking or removing the filters.
The filters may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
Wash the filters with cold water only. Do not use detergents.
Do not put the filters in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,
microwave or near a naked flame.
To access filter A, first remove the clear bin and cyclone unit (instructions above).
Lift out the filter.
Wash the filter with cold water only. Do not use detergents. Hold under a tap
and run water through the open end for 10 seconds. Turn upside down and tap
out 10 times.
Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.
Run water over the outside of the filter for 15 seconds.
Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.
Stand the filter on its wide, open end to dry. Leave to dry completely for
24 hours.
Replace the filter into the cyclone. Fit the cyclone and clear bin unit onto the
appliance (instructions above).
To remove filter B:
– turn the central locking dial on the outer cover of the ball anti-clockwise until
the cover is released
– lift off the cover
– turn the filter one-quarter anti-clockwise to release.
Filter B should be rinsed in cold water only and tapped out until the water runs
clean, then tapped out again to ensure all excess water is removed. (Tap on the
plastic rim, not the filter material.) Leave to dry completely for 24 hours.
It is normal for the filter in the ball to turn grey in colour.
To refit filter B:
– refit the filter on to the ball
– secure the filter by turning it one-quarter turn clockwise.
When refitting the outer cover of the ball, keep turning the central locking dial
clockwise. When it starts to click it is locked.
IMPORTANT: After washing please leave the filters at least 24 hours to dry
completely before refitting.
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
Switch 'OFF' and unplug before looking for blockages. Do not operate the wand
release catch. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
Refit all parts securely before using.
To check for blockages in airway on the main body of the appliance, first
remove the cyclone and clear bin unit (see above).
To remove the transparent inlet section, use your finger to release the latch on
the top. Remove the inlet section.
Inspect for blockages.
Replace the inlet section. Ensure the latch clicks into place and engages.
Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.

CLEARING 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.
Large items may block the tools or wand inlet. If this happens, do not operate
the wand release catch. Switch 'OFF' and unplug, then remove blockage.
Switch 'OFF' and unplug. Leave to cool down for 1-2 hours before checking
filter or for blockages.
Clear any blockage before restarting.
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 turn 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 it is fixed firmly before operating.
Clearing brush bar obstructions is not covered by your guarantee.

UTILISATION DE VOTRE APPAREIL DYSON
VEUILLEZ LIRE ATTENTIVEMENT LES CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ
IMPORTANTES DE CE MODE D'EMPLOI DYSON AVANT DE CONTINUER.
TRANSPORT DE L'APPAREIL
Porter l'appareil par sa poignée principale.
Ne pas appuyer sur le bouton de libération du cyclone ni secouer l'appareil
pendant le transport, car le cyclone pourrait se déloger, tomber et occasionner
des blessures.
FONCTIONNEMENT
Toujours étendre complètement le câble jusqu'à la bande rouge avant de l'utiliser.
Brancher l'appareil sur le réseau électrique.
Pour éteindre ou allumer l'appareil, appuyer sur le bouton de marche/arrêt,
situé comme indiqué.
Après utilisation : débrancher, enrouler le câble en toute sécurité et ranger
l'appareil.
Éteindre l'appareil et le débrancher avant d'effectuer les actions suivantes :
– Changer ou utiliser les accessoires
– Enlever le flexible ou les pièces d'inspection des conduits d'air.
TAPIS ET MOQUETTES / SOLS DURS
La brosse rotative est toujours sur « ON » par défaut (rotation) chaque fois que
l'appareil est mis en marche.
Pour désactiver la brosse rotative en position « OFF » (p. ex. pour les sols durs
ou parquets délicats), appuyer sur le bouton situé sur la tête de l'appareil.
Pour réactiver la brosse rotative en position « ON », désengager le bouton situé
sur la tête de l'appareil suffisamment pour que la brosse s'enclenche.
La commande Marche/Arrêt de la brosse rotative ne peut être actionnée que
lorsque l'appareil est en marche.
La brosse rotative s'arrête automatiquement en cas d'obstruction. Voir « Brosse
rotative - élimination des obstructions ».
Avant de passer l'aspirateur sur le sol, les tapis et les moquettes, lire les
instructions de nettoyage recommandées par le fabricant.
Certains tapis peuvent pelucher si la brosse rotative est utilisée durant
l'aspiration. Si cela se produit, nous recommandons de passer l'aspirateur en
mode « sol dur » et de contacter le fabricant du revêtement au sol.
La brosse rotative sur l'appareil peut endommager certains types de tapis.
En cas d'incertitude, éteindre la brosse rotative.
Cette brosse contient des poils en fibre de carbone. Faire attention si vous
touchez les poils. Ils peuvent causer de légères irritations cutanées. Se laver les
mains après avoir manipulé les poils.
ENTRETIEN DE VOTRE APPAREIL DYSON
Ne pas effectuer de travaux d'entretien ou de réparation autres que ceux
indiqués dans ce manuel Dyson, ou que ceux conseillés par le Service
Consommateurs de Dyson.
N'utiliser que des pièces recommandées par Dyson. Dans le cas contraire, la
garantie pourrait être invalidée.
Entreposer l'appareil à l'intérieur du logement. Ne pas l'utiliser et ne pas le
garder dans un lieu où la température est inférieure à 0 °C. S'assurer que
l'appareil est à température ambiante avant l'utilisation.
Nettoyer l'appareil uniquement avec un chiffon sec. Ne pas utiliser de
lubrifiants, produits de nettoyage, cire ou désodorisant sur une quelconque
partie de l'appareil.
S'il est utilisé dans un garage, toujours essuyer le châssis et la boule avec un
chiffon sec après aspiration en vue de retirer le sable, la saleté, ou les cailloux
risquant d'endommager les sols fragiles.
ASPIRATION - ATTENTION
Ne pas utiliser l'appareil sans le collecteur transparent et les filtres à leur place.
Les poussières fines telles que la poussière de plâtre ou la farine doivent être
aspirées en très petites quantités.
Ne pas utiliser l'appareil pour aspirer des objets pointus, des petits jouets, des
épingles, des trombones, etc. Ces derniers risquent en effet d'endommager
l'appareil.
Durant l'aspiration, certains tapis peuvent générer de petites charges
électrostatiques dans le collecteur transparent ou le tube. Ces charges sont
inoffensives et ne sont pas imputables à l'alimentation électrique. Afin de
minimiser ces effets, ne pas mettre la main ou insérer de quelconques objets
dans le collecteur transparent sans l'avoir vidé et rincé à l'eau froide au
préalable (voir « Nettoyage du collecteur transparent »).
Une puissante aspiration peut provoquer le « retrait » du flexible. Faire preuve
de prudence.
Ne pas placer l'appareil au-dessus de soi dans l'escalier.
Ne pas placer l'appareil sur des chaises, tables, etc.
Avant de passer l'aspirateur sur des parquets cirés, comme le bois ou le
lino, vérifier d'abord que le dessous de la brosse et les poils de la brosse ne
