•
After use, return the appliance to the upright position, pushing it firmly into
place. The stabilizer wheels will automatically lower.
•
Then unplug the appliance, coil the cable safely and put the appliance away.
•
Switch 'OFF' the appliance, unplug and ensure it is upright before:
– changing or using tools
– removing the hose or airway inspection parts.
•
Use the cyclone carry handle to carry the appliance.
ATTACHMENTS

To release the wand, open the wand cap and pull the red tube up and away
from the handle until it clicks into place.
•
Should you wish to use the hose without the wand, follow the above instruction
and press the red button to release the wand from the hose.
CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS
•
The brush bar will always default to 'ON' (spinning) each time you switch the
appliance 'ON' and recline it for cleaning.
•
The brush bar will not rotate when the appliance is upright.
•
To switch the brush bar 'OFF' (e.g. for delicate rugs and hard floors):
– switch the appliance 'ON'
– recline the appliance
– press the brush bar 'ON/OFF' button – the brush bar will stop spinning.
•
The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. See 'Brush bar –
clearing obstructions'.
•
Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer's
recommended cleaning instructions.
•
Some carpets may fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this
happens, we recommend vacuuming in 'hard floor' mode and consulting with
the flooring manufacturer.
•
The brush bar on the appliance may damage some carpet types. If you are
unsure, turn 'OFF' the brush bar.
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
warranty.
•
Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 32°F (0°C). 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.
•
If used in a garage, always wipe the base plate, ball and stabilizer wheels with
a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt or pebbles that could
damage delicate floors.

VACUUMING
CAUTION:
•
Do not use without the clear bin and filters in place.
•
Fine dust such as plaster dust or 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 main 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 and rinsed it out with
cold water (see 'Cleaning the clear bin').
•
Powerful suction can cause the hose to 'pull back' – please take care.
•
Do not work with the appliance above you on the stairs.
•
Do not put the appliance on chairs, tables, etc.
•
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.
•
Do not leave the cleaner head in one place on delicate floors.
•
Do not use this vacuum cleaner outdoors. The Dyson Car Cleaning Kit
(Model 08909) is intended for use only inside a garage.
EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN
•
Switch 'OFF' 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 cyclone and clear bin unit, press down on the red button at the
rear of the carrying handle on the cyclone.
•
To release the dirt, press all the way down on the red button at the rear of the
carrying handle on the cyclone.
•
To minimize dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in
a plastic bag and empty.
•
Remove the clear bin carefully.
•
Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
•
To refit:
– close the clear bin base so it clicks into place
– push the cyclone and clear bin unit into the main body of the appliance; it will
click into place
– ensure the cyclone and clear bin unit is secure.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
•
Remove the cyclone and clear bin (instructions above).
•
To separate the cyclone unit from the clear bin press the red button to open
the clear bin base. This exposes a small silver button behind the red opening
mechanism. Press the silver button and separate the cyclone unit from the
clear bin.
•
Clean the clear bin with cold water only.
•
Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
•
Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
•
Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.
•
Do not immerse the whole cyclone unit in water or pour water into the cyclones.
•
Clean the cyclone shroud with a dry cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.
•
To refit:
– fit the cyclone shroud into the clear bin so that the silver button clicks and
engages
– close the clear bin base so it clicks into place
– push the cyclone and clear bin unit into the main body of the appliance;
it will click into place
– ensure the cyclone and clear bin unit is secure.
WASHING YOUR FILTERS
•
Your appliance has two washable filters, located as shown.
•
Check and wash the filters regularly according to instructions to maintain
performance.
•
Switch 'OFF' and unplug before checking or removing the filters.
•
The filters may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
•
Wash with cold water only. Do not use detergents.
•
Do not put the filters in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,
microwave or near an open flame.
•
To remove filter A see the 'Wash filters' section in this Dyson Operating Manual.
•
After washing lay filter A on its side and leave at least 24 hours to dry
completely before refitting.
•
To remove filter B:
– turn the 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.
•
Filter B should be rinsed and tapped out until the water runs clean, then tapped
out again to ensure all excess water is removed. Leave to dry completely for
24 hours.
•
It is normal for the filter in the ball to turn grey in color.
•
To refit filter B:
– refit the filter on to the ball
– secure the filter by turning it one-quarter turn clockwise.
•
When refitting the outer cover of the ball, keep turning the central locking dial
clockwise. When it starts to click it is locked.

LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
•
Switch 'OFF' and unplug before looking for blockages. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury.
•
Look for blockages in the wand, airways and cleaner head.
•
To remove the base plate to access an obstruction, see 'Base plate –
disassembly/reassembly'.
•
To look for blockages in the airway between the ball and the cleaner head
you will need to remove the cleaner head: see 'Base plate – disassembly/
reassembly' below on how to do this.
•
Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
•
Refit all parts securely before using.
•
Clearing blockages is not covered by your warranty.
CLEARING 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.
•
Switch 'OFF' and unplug. Leave to cool down for 1-2 hours before checking the
filters or for blockages.
•
Clear any blockage before restarting.
•
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.
•
Lie 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 are two levers:
– swing them out at right angles
– the base plate will disengage
– lift up the top edge (of the base plate), so it rotates to the upright position
– lift out.
•
Beware of sharp objects when clearing obstructions.
•
To refit the base plate:
– fit the 3 lugs on the lower edge of the base plate into the 3 slots in the base
of the cleaner head
– swing the upper edge of the base plate down; it will click into place.
•
To secure the base plate push both 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.
•
Lie 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.
BRUSH BAR – TROUBLESHOOTING
•
If the brush bar has stopped spinning, follow the instructions above on clearing
obstructions. Alternatively, contact a Dyson expert on the Dyson Helpline or visit
the website.
