Please read the 'Important safety instructions' in the Dyson User manual before proceeding.
Installing your docking station
• Unpack the docking station, charger and installation leaflet.
• Choose a suitable location for the docking station and make sure there is no
pipework (gas, water or air), electrical cables, wires or ductwork directly behind the
mounting location.
• Don't locate the docking station near a heat source such as a cooker, radiator or in
direct sunlight.
• Follow the instructions in the installation leaflet.
• Click the tools into place on the docking station.
• Place the machine into the docking station.
• Plug the charger into the mains electricity supply. Switch on (if necessary) to charge
the battery.
It is important to fully charge your machine before using for the first time and after every use.
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, eyewear and materials when installing the
docking station.
Using your machine
• Remove the machine from the docking station.
• Check that the underside of the cleaner head or tool is clean and free from foreign objects
that may cause damage.
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.
Using your High Torque cleaner head
Your High torque cleaner head has a slider control to adjust the suction of the cleaner head.
To select the suction required, move the suction control slider on top of the cleaner head.
Maximum suction for ground in dust and debris (+)
• For vacuuming durable floor coverings, hard floors and heavily soiled carpets and rugs.
Suction for dust and debris (▲)
• For vacuuming of lightly soiled carpets, rugs and hard flooring.
• For vacuuming of large debris such as peanuts or rice.
Suction for deep pile carpets and delicate flooring (-)
• For vacuuming deep pile carpets or rugs and any flooring on which you may experience
greater resistance.
• For vacuuming of lightly soiled floors, including delicate flooring such as vinyl, parquet
and lino.
Emptying the clear bin
• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the MAX level – don't overfill. Using the machine when
the dirt is above the MAX line may cause the dirt to reach the filter and more frequent
maintenance will be required.
• Be careful not to pull the power trigger while the clear bin is open for emptying.
• Press the red wand release button and pull the wand away from the bin.
• To release the dirt:
– Hold the machine with the bin in a downwards position.
– Firmly push the red bin release button.
– The bin will slide down, cleaning the shroud as it goes.
– The bin base will then open.
– The bin base will not open if the red button is not pushed down all the way.
To minimize dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in a dust proof
bag and empty. Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag. Seal the bag tightly and dispose.
Cleaning your clear bin
If it is necessary to clean your clear bin, empty the bin as shown in the 'Emptying your clear bin'
section.
• Press the red button located on the bin runner to release the bin and slide the bin off
the runner.
• Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only.
• Make sure that the clear bin and seals are completely dry before replacing.
To refit the clear bin:
– Insert the spine on to the bin runner.
– Close the clear bin by pushing the bin base upwards until the clear bin and bin base click
into place.
The clear bin isn't dishwasher safe and the use of detergents, polishes or air fresheners to
clean the clear bin isn't recommended as this may damage your machine.
Looking for blockages
• This machine is fitted with an automatic cut-out. If any part becomes blocked, the machine
may automatically cut out.
• The motor will pulse and the LCD screen will indicate that there is a blockage.
• Leave to cool down before looking for blockages.
• Be careful not to pull the power trigger while looking for blockages.
• Make sure any blockages are clear and all parts are refitted before using your machine.
• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your warranty.
• To check for blockages in the main body of your machine, remove the clear bin following
the instructions in the 'Emptying your clear bin' section and remove any blockage.
• If you can't clear an obstruction from the cleaner head, you may need to remove the brush
bar. Use a coin to unlock the fastener, slide the brush bar out of the cleaner head and
remove the obstruction. Replace the brush bar and securely tighten the fastener. Make sure
it is fixed firmly before using your machine.
• Your machine has carbon fiber brushes. Take care if coming into contact with them, as they
may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after handling the brushes.

Washing the filter unit
Wash the filter unit at least once every month, or whenever the filter maintenance
indicator lights.
The LCD display will alert you when the filter unit needs washing. We recommend that you
wash your filter at least once a month or when your machine alerts you.
• Remove the filter unit by twisting it counterclockwise. Gently pull away from the machine.
• Gently tap the filter unit to remove any excess dust and debris before washing it.
• Wash the filter unit in cold water only: do not use detergent, or wash it in a dishwasher or
washing machine.
• Wash the pleated paper element of the filter unit first; hold the filter unit under a cold water
tap with the foam element downwards and run cold water over the pleated paper.
• Continue washing until the water runs clear.
• Wash the foam element of the filter unit next; hold the filter unit under a cold water tap with
the foam element downwards so that dirty water does not contaminate the pleated paper
element. Run cold water over the inside and outside of the foam element and squeeze the
foam gently to expel the dirt.
• Continue washing until the water runs clear.
• Wash the outside of the filter unit. Then fill the unit with cold water, place your hands over
the open ends and shake gently.
• Repeat washing the elements and outside of the filter unit until the water runs clear.
• Gently shake the filter unit to remove any excess water and leave to drain with the foam
element end facing up.
• Leave the filter unit to dry completely in a dry environment with good airflow, for a
minimum of 24 hours.
• Check that the filter unit is completely dry.
• To refit, return the filter unit to the main body and twist clockwise until it clicks into place.
The filter unit may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust or if use is mainly in
Boost mode.
Don't put any part of your machine in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,
microwave or near a naked flame.
Looking after your High torque cleaner head
• Turn the cleaner head upside down. Use a coin to turn the end cap a quarter anticlockwise
until it clicks into the unlocked position.
• Slide the brush bar out of the cleaner head.
• Remove any hair, carpet fibres or other debris from the brush bar.
• Slide the brush bar back into the cleaner head.
• Turn the end cap a quarter turn until it clicks into the locked position.
Charging and storage
• This machine will switch off if the battery temperature is below 50°F (10°C). This is
designed to protect the motor and battery. Do not charge the machine and then move it to
an area with a temperature below 50°F (10°C) for storage purposes.
• To help prolong battery life, avoid recharging immediately after a full discharge. Allow to
cool for a few minutes.
• Avoid using the machine with the battery flush to a surface. This will help it run cooler and
prolong battery run time and life.
Battery safety instructions
• If the battery needs replacing, please contact the Dyson Helpline.
• Only use the charger, Part Number 217160 or 270576, to charge this machine.
Caution
The battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do
not short contacts, heat above 140°F (60°C), or incinerate. Keep away from children. Do not
disassemble and do not dispose of in fire.
Disposal information
• Dyson products are made from high grade recyclable materials. Recycle where possible.
• The battery should be removed from the machine before disposal.
