Additional information

Please read the 'Important safety instructions' in the Dyson User manual before proceeding.
Installing your docking station
Unpack the docking station, charger and installation leaflet.
Choose a suitable location for the docking station and make sure there is no
pipework (gas, water or air), electrical cables, wires or ductwork directly behind the
mounting location.
Follow the instructions on the installation leaflet.
Click the tools into place on the docking station.
Place the machine into the docking station.
Plug the charger into the mains electricity supply. Switch on (if necessary) to charge
the battery.
It is important to fully charge your machine before using for the first time and after
every use.
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, eyewear and materials when installing the
docking station.
Using your machine
Remove the appliance from the docking station.
Check that the underside of the cleaner head or tool is clean and free from foreign
objects that may cause damage.
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.

Emptying your clear bin
Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
Be careful not to pull the power trigger while the clear bin is open for emptying.
Remove the wand by pressing the red wand release button and pulling away from
the bin.
To release the dirt:
– Hold the appliance with the bin in a downwards position.
– Firmly push the red bin release button.
– The bin will slide down, cleaning the shroud as it goes.
– The bin base will then open.
– The bin base will not open if the red button is not pushed down fully.
To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in a dust proof
bag and empty. Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag. Seal the bag tightly, dispose
as normal.
Cleaning the clear bin (optional)
If it is necessary to clean the clear bin:
Follow the instructions in the 'Emptying the clear bin' section.
Press the red button located on the bin runner to release the bin and slide the bin off
the runner.
Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only.
Ensure that the clear bin and seals are completely dry before replacing.
To refit the clear bin:
– Insert the spine on to the bin runner.
Close the clear bin by pushing the bin base upwards until the clear bin and bin base click
into place.
The clear bin is not dishwasher safe and the use of detergents, polishes or air fresheners to
clean the clear bin is not recommended as this may damage your appliance.
Looking for blockages
Your machine is fitted with an automatic cut-out. If any part becomes blocked, the
machine may automatically cut out.
The motor will pulse and the LCD screen will indicate that there is a blockage.
Leave to cool down before looking for blockages.
Be careful not to pull the power trigger while looking for blockages.
Make sure any blockages are clear and all parts are refitted before using your machine.
Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
Clearing blockages is not covered by your Dyson guarantee.
To check for blockages in the main body of your machine, remove the clear bin following
the instructions in the 'Emptying your clear bin' section and remove any blockage.
