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 appliance 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.
•
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.
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
3°C (37.4°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.
Vacuuming
•
Do not use without the clear bin and filters in place.
•
Fine dirt such as 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. 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 appliance on chairs, tables, etc.
•
Do not press down on the nozzle with excessive force when using the
appliance 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.
•
Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before
emptying the clear bin. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
•
To make emptying the clear bin easier, it is advisable to remove the
wand and floor tool.
•
To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear
bin tightly in a plastic bag and empty.
•
To release the dirt, hold the appliance by the handle, pull the red
lever back and lift upwards to release the cyclone. Continue until the
bin base automatically opens and releases the dirt.
•
Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.
•
Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
•
To close, push the cyclone downwards until it is in the normal
position and manually close the base of the bin – the base will click
when it is securely in place.
Cleaning the clear bin
•
Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before
removing the clear bin. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
•
Remove the wand and floor tool.
•
To remove the cyclone, hold the appliance by the handle, pull the
red lever towards you and lift upwards until the bin opens, then push
in the red button located behind the cyclone and lift the cyclone out.
