and 
recline it 
for 
cleaning. 
The brush 
bar 
will not rotate 
when 
the 
appliance 
is

Before vacuuming 
your 
flooring, 
rugs 
and 
carpets, check the 
manufacturer's 
recommended 
cleaning 
instructions. 
Some carpets 
may 
fuzz 
if 
a rotating brush 
bar 
is 
used when 
vacuuming
. If this happens, we 
recommend 
vacuuming 
with the brush 
bar 
switched 'OFF' 
and 
consulting with the 
flooring 
manufacturer. 
The brush 
bar 
on the 
machine 
may 
damage 
some carpet types. If you 
ore unsure, turn 
'OFF' 
the brush bar. 
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
.

LOOKING 
AFTER 
YOUR 
DYSON 
MACHINE 
Do 
not corry 
out 
any 
maintenance 
or 
repair 
work 
other 
than 
that 
shown 
and 
described in this Dyson 
Operating 
Manual, 
or 
advised by 
the Dyson 
Helpline. 
Only 
use 
ports 
recommended 
by Dyson. If you 
do 
not this 
may 
invalidate your 
warranty
. 
Store the 
machine 
indoors. 
Do 
not use 
or 
store it 
below 
37.4"F 
(3
°C). 
Ensure the 
machine 
is 
at 
room 
temperature 
before 
operating. 
Clean 
the 
machine 
only 
with a 
dry 
cloth. 
Do 
not use 
any 
lubricants, 
cleaning 
agents, polishes 
or 
air 
fresheners 
on 
any 
port 
of 
the machine. 
If used in a 
garage, 
always 
wipe 
the bose plate 
and 
boll with a 
dry 
cloth 
after 
vacuuming 
to 
clean 
off 
any sand, dirt, 
or 
pebbles that 
could 
damage 
delicate floors. 
VACUUMING 
Do 
not use 
without 
the clear bin 
and 
filters 
in 
pla
ce. 
Fine 
dirt 
such 
as 
plaster dust 
or 
flour 
should 
only 
be vacuumed in very 
small amounts. 
Do 
not use the 
machine 
to pick 
up 
sharp 
hard 
obiects, small toys, 
pins, 
paper 
clips, etc.  They 
may 
damage 
the 
machine
. 
When 
vacuuming, certain carpets 
may 
generate small static charges 
in 
the clear 
bin 
or 
wand. 
These ore harmless 
and 
ore not 
as
s
ociated 
with the mains electricity supply. 
To 
minimize any effect 
from 
this 
(small static charge), 
do 
not put 
your 
hand 
or 
insert any 
obiect 
into the 
clear bin unless you hove first 
emptied 
it 
and 
cleaned it with a 
damp 
cloth 
(see 
'Clean
ing the 
clear 
bin'). 
Do 
not 
work 
with the 
machine 
above 
you 
on 
the stairs. 
When 
cleaning 
stairs it 
is 
recommended 
that 
you use a tool on the end 
of 
the hose 
rather than the wand. 
Do 
not 
put 
the 
machine 
on 
choirs, 
tab
l
es
, etc. 
Before 
vacuuming 
highly 
polished floors, such 
as 
wood 
or 
linoleum, 
first check 
that 
the underside 
of 
the 
floor 
tool 
and 
its brushes ore free 
from 
foreign obiects 
that 
could 
cause 
marking
. 
Do 
not leave the cleaner 
head 
in 
one 
place 
on 
delicate floors. 
EMPTYING 
THE 
CLEAR BIN

as 
soon as the 
dirt 
reaches the level 
of 
the 
MAX 
mark-
do

To 
minimize 
dust/allergen 
contact 
when 
emptying
, encase the 
clear 
bin 
tightly in a plastic 
bog 
and 
empty. 
Remove the 
clear
