FILTER B
•  Lie the appliance on its side.
•  To remove filter B:
 – turn the blue central locking dial on the outer cover of the ball 
counter-clockwise until the cover is released
 – lift off the cover
 – turn the filter one-quarter counter-clockwise to release.
•  Wash the filter with cold water only.
•  Filter B should be rinsed and tapped out until the water runs clear, 
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 a 
minimum of 24 hours.
•  It is normal for the filter in the ball to turn grey in colour.
•  To refit filter B:
 – refit the filter on to the ball
 – secure the filter by turning it clockwise so the arrows align.
•  When refitting the outer cover of the ball, keep turning the central 
locking dial clockwise. When it starts to click it is locked.
BLOCKAGES – THERMAL CUT-OUT
•  This appliance is fitted with an automatically resetting thermal cut-out.
•  Large items may block the tools or wand inlet. If any part becomes 
blocked the appliance may overheat and automatically cut-out.
•  If this happens, follow the instructions below in 'Looking for 
blockages'.
•  NOTE: Large items may block the tools or wand inlet. If this happens, 
do not operate the wand release catch. Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug. 
Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
•  Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before looking for blockages. Failure to do 
so could result in personal injury.
•  Leave to cool down for 1-2 hours before checking the filters or 
for blockages.
•  Clear any blockage before restarting.
•  Look for blockages in the wand, airways and cleaner head.
•  To release the hose from the machine, you will need to remove 
the wand.
•  Open the wand release cap.
•  Pull the wand up and away from the handle.
•  Press the red release button in the connecting collar and remove the 
wand from the hose.
•  Remove the clear bin and cyclone unit. Then release the hose from the 
appliance by pressing the red tab on the base of the hose –you can 
see it from the front of the appliance.
•  Check for blockages in the hose.
•  Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
•  To refit the hose, align the guides on the base of the hose with the 
channels in the neck of the airway. Ensure the red tab faces the front 
of the appliance. Push the hose on. It will click into place. To refit the 
wand follow the instructions above in the ‘Operation’ section.
•  To remove the base plate to access an obstruction, see ‘Base plate – 
disassembly/reassembly’.
•  To look for blockages in the front airway between the ball and the 
cleaner head you will need to remove the cleaner head: see ‘Base 
plate – disassembly/reassembly' on how to do this.
•  To look for blockages in the rear airway between the ball and the 
cleaner head you will need to release the hose. Hold and slide the red 
cuff out. Check thoroughly for blockages and slot back into place.
•  Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
•  To look for blockages in the ball, open the clear plastic inlet on 
the top.
•  Refit all parts securely before using.
•  Clearing blockages is not covered by your warranty.
BRUSH BAR – CLEARING OBSTRUCTIONS
•  If your brush bar is obstructed, it may shut ‘OFF’. If this happens, you 
will need to remove the blockage.
•  Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before proceeding. Failure to do so could 
result in personal injury.
•  Beware of sharp objects when clearing obstructions.
•  If you still cannot clear the obstruction, please follow the instructions 
below to remove the base plate. This gives more access to the 
obstruction. Alternatively, contact a Dyson expert on the Dyson 
Helpline or visit the website. Clearing brush bar obstructions is not 
covered by your warranty.
BASE PLATE – DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
•  Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before proceeding. Failure to do so could 
result in personal injury.
•  Lay the appliance on its front.
•  Detach the red ‘C’ clip which is on the connection between the 
cleaner head and the appliance. It is quite firm, but do not pull it off 
roughly. Use a constant, firm pressure.
•  Pull the cleaner head away from the appliance. Use a constant, 
firm pressure.
•  At each end of the cleaner head there are 2 red levers:
 – swing them out at right angles
 – hinge the base plate open.
•  Beware of sharp objects when clearing obstructions.
•  To refit the base plate, hinge it closed.
•  To secure the base plate push both red levers back into position so 
they are flush with the surface of the cleaner head.
•  Refit the red ‘C’ clip onto the cleaner head. The flatter edge of the clip 
fits against the cleaner head. It is easier to slide one lug into its slot 
before the other.
•  Lay the appliance on its back.
•  Attach the cleaner head by sliding it on to the connections on 
the lower front part of the ball. Ensure the electrical plug on the 
cleaner head fits into the twin - block connection on the body of the 
appliance, which is directly above the airway. Push firmly: the cleaner 
head will click into place.
