Using your Dyson appliance
Please read the 'Important Safety Instructions' in this Dyson operating manual
before proceeding.

Operation

• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids – electric
shock could occur.
• Ensure the appliance remains upright in use and in storage. Dirt and debris may be
released if it is turned upside down.
• Do not operate while checking for blockages.
• For domestic indoor and car use only. Do not use it whilst the car is in motion or
while driving.
• To operate the Max mode, locate the switch on the top of the appliance. Slide the switch to
the Max mode position.
• To switch off Max mode, slide the switch back to the Powerful Suction mode position.
• 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.
Docking station installation
• Use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type and ensure that the docking
station is mounted securely. Ensure no pipe work (gas, water, air) or electrical cables,
wires or ductwork are located directly behind the mounting area. The docking station
must be mounted in accordance with regulations and applicable codes/standards (state
and local laws may apply). Dyson recommends the use of protective clothing, eyeware
and materials when installing the docking station.
Carpets or hard floors
• Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer's
recommended cleaning instructions.
• The brush bar on the appliance can damage certain carpet types and floors. Some
carpets will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we
recommend vacuuming without the motorised floor tool and consulting with your
flooring manufacturer.
• 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.
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 warranty.
• Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 3°C (37.4°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.
• Check the brush bar regularly and clear away any debris (such as hair). Debris left on the
brush bar may cause damage to flooring when vacuuming.

Vacuuming

• Do not use without the clear bin and filters in place.
• 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, glass
or oils etc. They may damage the appliance.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear bin.
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. Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only. (See 'Cleaning the clear
bin'.)
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not rest the appliance on chairs, tables, etc.
• Do not press down on the nozzle with excessive force when using the appliance 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.
• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before emptying the clear bin. Be
careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
• To make emptying the clear bin easier, it is advisable to remove the wand and floor tool.
• To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in a plastic
bag and empty.
• To release the dirt, hold the appliance by the handle, pull the red lever back and lift
upwards to release the cyclone. Continue until the bin base automatically opens and
releases the dirt.
• Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.
• Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
• To close, push the cyclone downwards until it is in the normal position and manually close
the base of the bin – the base will click when it is securely in place.

Cleaning the clear bin

• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before removing the clear bin. Be
careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
• Remove the wand and floor tool.
• To remove the cyclone, hold the appliance by the handle, pull the red lever towards
you and lift upwards until the bin opens, then push in the red button located behind the
cyclone and lift the cyclone out.
• To detach the clear bin from the appliance, pull back on the red catch located at the base,
slide the clear bin down and carefully remove forwards from the main body.
• Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only.
• Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
• Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
• To replace the clear bin, align the tabs on the clear bin with the grooves on the main body
and slide upwards into place until the catch clicks.
• Slide the cyclone into the grooves of the main body and push downwards until it is in its
normal position and manually close the base of the bin – the base will click when it is
securely in place.
Washable parts
Your appliance has washable parts, which require regular cleaning. Follow the
instructions below.
Washing the filters
• Your appliance has two washable filters; wash the filters at least once a month according
to the following instructions to maintain performance. More frequent washing may be
required where the user: vacuums fine dust, operates mainly in 'Powerful suction' mode,
or uses the machine intensively.
Washing filter A
• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before removing the filter. Be
careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
• Check and wash the filter regularly according to instructions to maintain performance.
• The filter may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust or if used mainly in
'Powerful suction' mode.
• To remove the filter, lift it out of the top of the appliance.
• Wash the filter with cold water only. No hot water and no detergents.
• Run water over the outside of the filter until the water runs clear.
• Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.
• Leave the filter to dry completely for a minimum of 24 hours.
• Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave or
near a naked flame.
• To refit, place the dry filter back into the top of the appliance. Make sure it is seated
properly.
