USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM CLEANER
PLEASE NOTE:
• Always extend the cable fully to the red tape before use.
• Fine dust such as plaster or flour should only be vacuumed in very small
amounts.
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up sharp hard objects, such as small toys,
pins, paper clips etc.
• Consult your flooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before
vacuuming and caring for your flooring, rugs and carpets. Some carpets
will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we
recommend vacuuming in hard floors mode and consulting with your flooring
manufacturer.
• If used in a garage, care should be taken to wipe the soleplate and wheels with
a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles which could
damage delicate floors.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear
bin. These are entirely harmless and not associated with the main supply. To
minimise any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object into the
clear bin unless you have emptied it and rinsed it out with cold water.
• Only use parts recommended by Dyson; failure to do so could invalidate your
guarantee.
• Do not use any lubricants, cleaning agents, polishes or air fresheners on any
part of the Dyson vacuum.
• This Dyson vacuum is fitted with a thermal cut-out. If any part of the Dyson
vacuum becomes blocked the machine may overheat and automatically shut
off. If this happens, switch off and unplug the Dyson vacuum and allow to cool
before attempting to check filters or for blockages. Clear any blockages before
restarting.
• Store the vacuum cleaner indoors. Do not use or store this vacuum cleaner
below 0°C (32°F). Ensure that the vacuum cleaner is at room temperature before
operating.
EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN
CAUTION:
• Switch OFF and unplug the vacuum cleaner before emptying the clear bin.
• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
To remove the clear bin from the vacuum cleaner press the button at the rear of
the carrying handle. To release the dirt, press the red bin release button.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the clear bin in place.
• To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly
in a plastic bag and empty. Remove the clear bin carefully and seal bag tightly,
dispose as normal.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
CAUTION:
• Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
• Clean the shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
• Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.
WASHING YOUR FILTER
CAUTION:
• Switch OFF and unplug the vacuum cleaner before removing the filter.
• Ensure the filter is completely dry before refitting it to the vacuum cleaner.
PLEASE NOTE:
• It is important to check your filter and wash at least every 3 months, according
to instructions, to maintain performance.
• Please leave to dry completely for 24 hours.
• The filter may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
• Do not use detergents to clean the filter.
• Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,
microwave or near a naked flame.
• Register for a filter wash reminder by email (Australia only);
customercare@dyson.com.au
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
CAUTION:
• Switch OFF and unplug the vacuum cleaner before checking for blockages.
• Beware of sharp objects when clearing blockages.
• Refit all parts of the vacuum cleaner securely before using.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your vacuum cleaner’s limited guarantee.
If any part of your vacuum cleaner becomes blocked, it may overheat and then
automatically shut off. Unplug the vacuum cleaner and leave to cool down.
Clear blockage before restarting.
• Large items may block the tools or wand inlet, if this happens switch the vacuum
cleaner off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before removing the blockage.
Do not operate the wand release catch.
CLEARING BRUSH BAR OBSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the vacuum cleaner before clearing brush bar
obstructions.
• If your brush bar is obstructed, it may shut off. If this happens you will need to
remove the brush bar as shown and clear any obstructing debris.
