DOCKING
STATION INSTALLATION
Use
appropriate
mounting
hardware
for
your
wall
type
and
ensure
that
the
docking
station
is
mounted
securely. Ensure
no
pipe
work
(gas, water, air)
or
electrical
cables, wires
or
ductwork
are
located
directly
behind
the
mounting
area.
The
docking
station
must
be
mounted
in
accordance
with
regulations
and
applicable
codes/standards
(state
and
local
laws
may
apply).
Dyson
recommends
the use
of
protective
clothing,
eyeware
and
materials
when
installing
the
docking
station.
CARPETS
OR
HARD
FLOORS
Before
vacuuming
your
flooring,
rugs
and
carpets,
check the
manufacturer's
recommended
cleaning
instructions.
The brush
bar
on
the
machine
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
motorized
floor
tool
and
consulting
with
your
flooring
manufacturer.
Before
vacuuming
highly
polished
floors,
such as
wood
or
linoleum,
first
check
that
the
underside
of
the
floor
tool
and
its brushes
are
free
from
foreign
objects
that
could
cause
marking.
LOOKING
AFTER
YOUR
DYSON
MACHINE
Do
not
carry
out
any
maintenance
or
repair
work
other
than
that
shown
and
described
in this Dyson
Operating
Manual,
or
advised
by
the
Dyson
Helpline.
Only
use
parts
recommended
by
Dyson.
If
you
do
not
this
may
invalidate
your
warranty.
Store
the
machine
indoors.
Do
not
use
or
store it
below
37
.4°F
(3
°C). Ensure
the
machine
is
at
room
temperature
before
operating
.
Clean
the
machine
only
with a
dry
cloth.
Do
not
use
any
lubricants,
cleaning
agents,-
polishes
or
air
fresheners
on
any
part
of
the
machine.
VACUUMING
Do
not
use
without
the
clear
bin
and
filter
in place.
Fine
dirt
such as
plaster
dust
or
flour
should
only
be
vacuumed
in very
small
amounts.
Do
not
use
the
machine
to
pick
up
sharp
hard
objects,
small
toys, pins,
paper
clips,
etc. They
may
damage
the
machine.
When
vacuuming,
certain
carpets
may
generate
small
static
charges
in the
clear
bin
or
wand.
These are
harmless
and
are
not
associated with the central
electricity
supply.
To
minimize
any
effect
from
this,
do
not
put
your
hand
or
insert
any
object
into
the
clear
bin
unless you
have
first
emptied
it.
Clean
the
clear
bin with a
damp
cloth only. (See
"Cleaning
the
clear
bin".)
Use extra care
when
cleaning
on
stairs.
Do
not
rest
the
machine
on
chairs,
tables,
etc.
Do
not
press
down
on
the
nozzle
with
excessive
force
when
using the
machine
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
luster.
If
this
happens,
wipe
with
a
damp
cloth,
polish
the
area
with wax,
and
wait
for
it to dry.
