USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
PLEASE READ THE ‘IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS’ IN THIS
DYSON OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
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.
• Always disconnect the plug from the mains before inspecting for problems. If the
appliance will not operate, first check that the mains socket has an electricity supply
and that the plug is properly inserted into the socket.
CONTROL WITHOUT THE REMOTE
• Press the Standby button on the appliance to turn ON/OFF.
• Press and hold the Standby button on the appliance to adjust the airflow. Airflow
will increase to a maximum before decreasing.
• The oscillation function and sleep timer cannot be operated without the
remote control.
SLEEP TIMER
To set the sleep timer, select the desired time. When time reaches zero, the
appliance will go into standby mode. To cancel, increase the time until
two dashes appear.
• When the sleep timer is ON, do not press the Standby ON/OFF button as this will
deactivate the sleep timer and turn the appliance off.
REPLACEABLE PARTS
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
CAUTION
• Unscrew the battery compartment on the remote control. Loosen the base and pull

• Do not attempt to dismantle or charge the batteries. Keep away from fire.
• Always replace the screw in the remote control and refer to the battery hazard in the
warning section.
• Follow battery manufacturers' instructions when installing new batteries (battery
type CR 2032).
• Limited functionality is available without the remote control (see ‘Control without
the remote’).

AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW
In addition to your rights under the Dyson guarantee, we also provide
the following statement as required by the Australian Consumer Law: In
Australia, your Dyson appliance comes with statutory guarantees that cannot
be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a
replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other
reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have your
Dyson appliance repaired or replaced if it fails to be of acceptable quality and
the failure does not amount to a major failure.
NEW ZEALAND CONSUMER LAW
Under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, if the product is
not of acceptable quality but that defect is not substantial, Dyson may choose
whether to repair or replace the product. If a repair will be difficult, Dyson
may instead provide you with a refund. If a product’s defect is substantial
or cannot be fixed, you can ask for either a refund, replacement product, or
compensation for any reduction in that product’s value. You are also entitled
to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss caused by that
substantial defect.
