USING YOUR DYSON MACHINE
PLEASE READ THE 'IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS' IN YOUR 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 on 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's important to fully charge your new machine before using it 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
•
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 motorised floor tool and consulting with your
flooring manufacturer.

EMPTYING YOUR 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.
•
Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the charger before emptying the
clear bin. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
•
The 'ON' trigger cannot be operated 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 over a bin in a downwards position.
– Firmly push the red bin release button.
– The bin will slide down, cleaning the shroud as it goes and the bin base
will open.
– The bin base will not open if the red button is not pushed down fully.
To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, cover the clear bin tightly in a
dust proof bag while you 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 is not dishwasher safe and the use of detergents, polishes or air
fresheners to clean the clear bin is not recommended as this may damage
your machine.
FILTER AND BLOCKAGE INDICATOR LEDS
Your appliance has two indicator lights that will help alert you that simple
maintenance steps are needed.
•
The filter indicator will flash intermittently when the filter unit is not fitted correctly.
Follow the instructions on how to refit the filter unit in the 'Washing the filter unit'
section.
•
The filter indicator will light continuously when the filter unit needs washing. Follow
the instructions on how to wash the filter unit in the 'Washing the filter unit' section.
•
The blockage Indicator LED will light if there is a blockage. Follow the instructions
on how to clear blockages in the 'Looking for blockages' section.
WASHABLE PARTS
Your machine has washable parts, which require regular cleaning. Follow the
instructions below.
WASHING THE BRUSH BARS
Your appliance has two washable brush bars, check and wash these regularly
according to the following instructions to maintain performance.
•
Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before removing the brush
bar. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
To remove, wash and replace brush bars:
•
Please refer to the 'Washing the brush bars' illustrations alongside the
instructions below.
•
Turn the cleaner head upside down. Use a coin to turn the end cap a quarter
anticlockwise until it clicks into the unlocked position.
•
Rotate the end cap to the open position. Gently slide the main brush bar out of the
cleaner head.

Remove the end cap from the large brush bar. Do not wash the end cap.
•
Lift out the small brush bar from the octagonal end and pull away from the
cleaner head.
•
Hold the brush bars under running water and gently rub to remove any lint or dirt.
•
Stand the brush bars upright as shown. Leave to dry completely for a minimum of
24 hours.
•
Before replacing, check that the brush bars are completely dry. Refit the small brush
bar before the large one. Insert the round end of the small brush bar into place.
Push down the octagonal end until it clicks into place.
•
Reattach the end cap to the brush bar.
