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.
• Don't locate the docking station near a heat source such as a cooker, radiator or in
direct sunlight.
• 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's important to fully charge your new machine before using it 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
• 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 machine 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.
Using your High torque cleaner head
Your High torque cleaner head has a slider control to adjust the suction of the cleaner head.
To select the suction required, move the suction control slider on top of the cleaner head.
Maximum suction for ground in dust and debris (+)
• For vacuuming durable floor coverings, hard floors and heavily soiled carpets and rugs.
Suction for dust and debris (▲)
• For vacuuming of lightly soiled carpets, rugs and hard flooring.

• For vacuuming of large debris such as peanuts or rice.
Suction for deep pile carpets and delicate flooring (-)
• For vacuuming deep pile carpets or rugs and flooring where you experience
greater resistance.
• For vacuuming lightly soiled floors, and delicate flooring such as vinyl, parquet and lino.
Emptying your clear bin
• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the MAX level – don't overfill. Using the machine when
the dirt is above the MAX line may cause the dirt to reach the filter and more frequent
maintenance will be required.
• Be careful not to pull the power trigger while the clear bin is open for emptying.
• Press the red wand release button and pull the wand away from the bin.
• To release the dirt:
– Hold the machine over a bin in a downwards position.
– Firmly push the red bin release button.
– The bin will slide down, cleaning the shroud as it goes and the bin base will open.
– The bin base won't open if the red bin release button isn't pushed down all the way.
To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, cover the clear bin tightly in a dust proof
bag while you empty.
Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag. Seal the bag tightly and dispose.
Be careful not to pull the power trigger while the clear bin is open for emptying.
• To close the clear bin:
– Push the bin base upwards until the clear bin and bin base click into place.
Cleaning your clear bin
If it is necessary to clean your clear bin, empty the bin as shown in the 'Emptying your 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.
• Make sure 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 machine.
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 guarantee.
