This Dyson vacuum cleaner is designed for domestic indoor and car use only. Do not use it while the car is in
motion or while driving.
Do not use the Dyson vacuum cleaner to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper clips, etc. They
may damage the Dyson vacuum cleaner.
This product has carbon fibre brushes. Take care if coming into contact with them. They may cause minor skin
irritation. Wash your hands after handling them.
Do not press down on the nozzle with excessive force when using the Dyson vacuum cleaner as this may cause
damage.
If the motor overheats, the Dyson vacuum cleaner will cut out automatically. Leave it to cool for at least an hour
and check for blockages before restarting.
Fine dirt such as flour or plaster dust should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
Before vacuuming highly polished floors, such as wood or lino, first check that the underside of the accessory
tool and its bristles are free from foreign objects that could cause marking.
To avoid damaging the floor do not push hard with the floor tool. Do not leave the cleaner head in one place on
delicate floors.
On waxed floors the movement of the cleaner head may create an uneven lustre. If this happens, wipe with a
damp cloth, polish the area with wax, and wait for it to dry.
Consult your flooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before vacuuming and caring for your flooring,
rugs, and carpet. The brush bar on the Dyson vacuum cleaner 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.
Do not use any lubricants, cleaning agents, polishes or air fresheners on any part of the Dyson vacuum cleaner
or charger.
This Dyson vacuum cleaner is fitted with a thermal cut-out. If any part of the Dyson vacuum cleaner becomes
blocked the machine may overheat and automatically shut off. If this happens, switch ‘OFF’ the Dyson vacuum
cleaner and allow to cool before attempting to check the filter or for blockages. Clear any blockages before
restarting.
Store the Dyson vacuum cleaner indoors. Do not use or store this Dyson vacuum cleaner below 3°C (37.4°F).
Ensure that the Dyson vacuum cleaner is at room temperature before operating.
