USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
PLEASE READ THE ‘IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS’ IN THIS DYSON
OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
CARRYING THE APPLIANCE
• Carry the appliance by the main handle on the body.
• Do not press the cyclone release button or shake the appliance when carrying,
or the cyclone could disengage, fall off and cause injury.
OPERATION
• Always extend the cable fully to the red tape before use.
• Plug the appliance into the mains electricity supply.
• To switch ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ press the power button, located as shown.
• After use: unplug, retract the cable safely, put the appliance away.
• Switch ‘OFF’ the appliance and unplug before:
– adjusting the setting
– changing or using tools
– removing the hose or airway inspection parts.
BRUSH BAR
• The brush bar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch
the appliance ‘ON’.
• To switch the brush bar ‘OFF’ (e.g for delicate flooring) press in the button
on the cleaner head.
• To switch the brush bar ‘ON’, pull out the button on the cleaner head only
enough so the brush bar engages.
• Brush bar control can be done only when the appliance is on.
• 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 vacuuming in ‘hard floor’ mode and consulting
with the flooring manufacturer.
• The brush bar on the appliance may damage some carpet types. If you are
unsure, turn off the brush bar.
• 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.
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.
• Only use parts recommended by Dyson. If you do not this could invalidate
your guarantee.
• Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 0°C (32°F). Ensure
the appliance is at room temperature before operating.
• Clean the appliance only with a dry cloth. Do not use any lubricants, cleaning
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.
VACUUMING - CAUTION
• Do not use without the clear bin and filters in place.
• Fine dust such as plaster dust or flour should only be vacuumed in very
small amounts.
• Do not use the appliance to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper
clips, etc. They may damage the appliance.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the
clear bin or wand. These are harmless and are not associated with the mains
electricity supply. To minimise any effect from this, do not put your hand or
insert any object into the clear bin unless you have first emptied it and rinsed it
out with cold water (see ‘Cleaning the clear bin’).
• Do not work with the appliance above you on the stairs.
• Do not put the appliance on chairs, tables, etc.
• Before vacuuming highly polished floors, such as wood or lino, first check that
the underside of the floor tool and its brushes are free from foreign objects that
could cause marking.
• Do not push hard with the floor tool when vacuuming, as this may
cause damage.
• 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.
EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN
• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before emptying the clear bin.
• To remove the cyclone and clear bin unit, push the release button to the side of
the carrying handle, as shown. The carrying handle will be released.
• Remove the cyclone and clear bin unit.
• To release the dirt, press the red bin release button.
• 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.
• Close the clear bin base so it clicks into place and is secure.
• Place the clear bin and cyclone unit into position on the front of the main body
of the appliance. The recess in the base of the clear bin must fit onto the lug on
the locator bracket.
• Push the carrying handle down so it clicks into place on the top of the clear bin
and cyclone unit. Ensure it is secure.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
• Remove the cyclone and clear bin unit, and then open the bin base
(instructions above).
• To separate the cyclone unit from the clear bin press the small silver button on
the cyclone. Separate the cyclone from the clear bin.
• Clean the clear bin with cold water only.
• Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
• Do not put clear bin in a dishwasher.
• Do not immerse the whole cyclone unit in water or pour water into it.
• Clean the cyclone shroud with a dry cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
• To replace, first close the clear bin base so it clicks into place and is secure.
• Fit the clear bin onto the cyclone. To secure it, first fit the slot on the front rim
of the clear bin onto the lug on the front of the cyclone; then push the rear of
the clear bin into place so the silver button engages and clicks into place.
• Fit the cyclone and clear bin unit onto the appliance (instructions above).
WASHING THE FILTERS
• Your appliance has two washable filters, located as shown.
• Check and wash the filters regularly according to instructions to maintain
performance.
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before checking or removing the filters.
• The filters may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
• Wash the filters with cold water only. Do not use detergents.
• Do not put the filters in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,
microwave or near a naked flame.
• To access filter A, first remove the clear bin and cyclone unit (instructions
above). Lift out the filter.
• Wash the filter with cold water only. Hold under a tap and run water through
the open end for 10 seconds. Turn upside down and tap out.
• Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.
• Run water over the outside of the filter for 15 seconds.
• Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.
• Stand the filter on its wide, open end to dry. Leave to dry completely for
24 hours.
• Replace the filter into the cyclone. Fit the cyclone and clear bin unit onto the
appliance (instructions above).
Filter B
• To remove filter B:
– Turn the central locking dial on the outer cover of the ball anti-clockwise
until the cover is released.
– Lift off the cover.
– To lift out the filter, place your fingers under the two raised tabs. Lift out the
filter. Use a constant, firm pressure.
• Filter B should be rinsed and tapped out until the water runs clean, then
tapped out again to ensure all excess water is removed. (Tap on the plastic
rim, not the filter material.) Leave to dry completely for 24 hours.
• It is normal for filter B to turn grey in colour.
• To refit filter B:
– Slide the filter back into the ball.
– Push the filter in until the tabs engage –you will hear a click when they do.
• Refit the outer cover of the ball.
When refitting the outer cover of the ball, keep turning the central locking dial
clockwise. When it starts to click it is locked.
• IMPORTANT: After washing please leave the filters at least 24 hours to dry
completely before refitting.”
BLOCKAGES – THERMAL CUT-OUT
• This appliance is fitted with an automatically resetting thermal cut-out.
• If any part becomes blocked the appliance may overheat and automatically
cut-out.
• If this happens, follow the instructions below in ‘Looking for blockages’.

operate the wand release catch. Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury
