USING YOUR DYSON MACHINE
PLEASE READ THE 'IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS' IN YOUR DYSON
USER MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
DOCKING STATION INSTALLATION
• Unpack the docking station, charger and installation leaflet.
• Select the location for the docking station and ensure that 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 attachments into place.
• Place the appliance in the docking station.
• Plug the charger into the mains electricity supply. Switch on (if necessary) to
charge the battery.
• Your appliance will need to be fully charged before first 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.
VACUUMING
• 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 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.
• The 'ON' trigger cannot be operated 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.

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 to
your appliance.

brush bar. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
TO REMOVE, WASH AND REPLACE BRUSHBARS:
• Please refer to the 'Washing the brush bars' illustrations alongside the

facing you. Use a coin to turn the fastener a quarter anti-clockwise until it clicks
into the unlocked position.
• Rotate the end cap to the open position. Gently slide the large brush bar away
from the cleaner head.
• Remove the end cap from the large brush bar. Do not wash the end cap.
• Lift out the small brush bar from the octagonal end and pull away from the
cleaner head.

or dirt.
• Stand both brush bars upright. Ensure the large brush bar is stood upright as

brush bar before the large one. Insert the round end of the small brush bar into
place. Push down the octagonal end until it clicks into place.
