USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
PLEASE READ THE ‘IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS’ IN THIS DYSON
OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
CARRYING THE APPLIANCE

the cyclone could disengage, fall off and cause injury.

DUAL MODE FLOOR TOOL WITH
SUCTION CONTROL
EASY MODE
Reduced push force for effortless cleaning.
• For daily vacuuming of carpets, rugs and hard flooring.
• Your appliance is pre-set to this level of suction when you take it out of the box.
MAX MODE
Maximum suction for powerful dust and dirt removal.
• For vacuuming heavily soiled carpets, rugs and hard flooring.
• To switch to this setting, move the suction control slider on top of the cleaner
head as shown.
• CAUTION: The suction of this mode can damage delicate flooring.
Before vacuuming, check the flooring manufacturer’s cleaning
recommendations.
• If the suction power of Max mode prevents easy manoeuverability, switch to
Easy mode.
CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS
• The brush bar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch the
machine ‘ON’.
• To reduce the speed of the brush bar (e.g. for delicate flooring and delicate hard
floors), pull the suction release trigger on the handle.
• The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. See ‘Brush bar –
clearing obstructions’.
• 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 pulling the suction release trigger to reduce brush
bar spin.
• The brush bar on the machine may damage some carpet types and delicate
hard flooring. If you are unsure, pull the suction release trigger to reduce brush
bar spin. Alternatively, use a Dyson hard floor tool (available as an option).
• This product has carbon fibre brushes. Take care if coming into contact with
them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after handling
the brushes.
• 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 APPLIANCE

Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline.

agents, polishes or air fresheners on any part of the appliance.
• If used in a garage, always wipe the base plate and ball with a dry cloth
after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could damage
delicate floors.
EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN

carrying handle, as shown.
• To release the dirt, firmly push the red bin release button.

a plastic bag and empty.
• Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.
• Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
• Close the clear bin by pushing the bin base upwards until it clicks into place.
• Push the bin base clip firmly until it clicks into position to ensure that the base is
securely sealed.
• Align the base of the clear bin with the air hose inlet and then click back
into place.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN (OPTIONAL)

• Remove the cyclone and clear bin and push the red bin base release button.
• Pull the silver catch behind the red bin release button and slide the clear bin off
the spine on the cyclone.
• Clean the clear bin with cold water only.
