USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM
CAUTION:
• Do not allow the vacuum to be used by anyone who may not be able to operate it safely.
• The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
• Always switch 'OFF' and unplug before performing maintenance on your vacuum.
• Ensure the cyclone is secured to the vacuum. Do not press the cyclone release button or
shake the vacuum while carrying or it could fall and cause injury.
• Store the vacuum indoors. Put the vacuum away after use with the cord coiled safely, to
prevent tripping hazards.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids – electric
shock could occur.
• Do not lubricate any parts, or carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that
shown in this manual, or advised by the Dyson Customer Care Helpline.
PLEASE NoTE:
• This vacuum is intended for household use only. Fine dust such as plaster dust or flour
should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
• Do not use the vacuum to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper clips, etc.
They may damage the vacuum.
• If used in a garage, basement, or other debris-filled area, care should be taken to wipe
the soleplate and wheels with a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or
pebbles that could damage delicate floors.
• Consult your flooring manufacturer's recommended instructions before vacuuming and
caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpet. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brush bar
is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming with the brush bar
switched off and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear bin.
These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the mains 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 and rinsed it out with cold water. (See 'Cleaning the clear bin'
section.)
• Do not use or store this vacuum below 0°C (32°F). Ensure that the vacuum is at room
temperature before operating.
TOOL ATTACHMENTS
CAUTION:
• Switch 'OFF' the vacuum before changing tools.
• Powerful suction can cause the hose to 'pull back' - please take care.
• Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs; do not work with the vacuum above you on
the stairs. Do not put the vacuum on chairs, tables etc.
EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN
CAUTION:
• Switch 'OFF' the vacuum and unplug before emptying the clear bin.
• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
• To remove the clear bin from the vacuum, press the button at the rear of cyclone carrying
handle. To release the dirt, press the red bin release button. Emptying into a bag is
recommended for allergy sufferers.
• Do not use the vacuum without the clear bin in place.
• To minimize 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.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
CAUTION:
• Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
PLEASE NoTE:
• Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
• Do not put clear bin in a dishwasher.
• Clean the shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.
WASHING YOUR FILTERS
Do THIS EVERY MoNTH
CAUTION:
• Switch 'OFF' and unplug the vacuum before removing the filters.
• Ensure filters are completely dry before refitting to the vacuum.
PLEASE NoTE:
• This machine has two filters, located as shown. It is important to check your filters
regularly and wash at least every month according to instructions, to maintain
performance. Filter B should be rinsed and tapped out until the water runs clean, then
tapped out again to ensure all excess water is removed. This will normally require up to
10 rinse cycles.
• After washing please leave for 24 hours to dry completely.
• The filters may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
• Do not use detergents to clean the filters.
• Do not put the filters in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave
or near an open flame.
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
CAUTION:
• Switch 'OFF' and unplug the vacuum before checking for blockages. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury.
• Beware of sharp objects when clearing blockages.
• Refit all parts of the vacuum cleaner securely before using.
PLEASE NoTE:
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your vacuum's limited warranty. If any part of your
vacuum becomes blocked, it may overheat and then automatically shut off. Unplug the
vacuum and leave to cool down. Clear blockage before restarting.
• Large items may block the tools or wand inlet, if this happens switch the vacuum off and
unplug the vacuum before removing the blockage. Do not operate the wand release
catch.
