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 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 

• 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 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 won’t open if the red bin release button isn’t pushed down all the way.
  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. Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag. Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.

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.

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 appliance has washable parts, which require regular cleaning. Follow the instructions below.

WASHING YOUR FILTER UNIT
To always get the best performance from your machine, it is important to regularly clean the filters and check for blockages. 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 anti-clockwise to the open position. Gently pull away from the appliance.
• Wash the inside of the filter unit first; hold it upright under the cold water top and agitate using a rotating motion.
• Wash the outside of the filter unit; fill the unit with cold water, place your hand over the open end and shake gently.
• Repeat washing the inside and outside of the filter unit until the water runs clear.
• Gently tap the filter unit to remove any excess water and leave to dry with the open end facing up.
• Leave the filter unit to dry completely for a minimum of 24 hours.
• 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.
• To refit, return the filter unit to the open position and twist clockwise until it clicks into place.
  The filter unit may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust or using mainly maximum suction.
  Don’t put any part of your machine in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave or near a naked flame.

BLOCKAGES – AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT 

• This appliance is fitted with an automatic cut-out.
• If any part becomes blocked, the appliance may automatically cut out.
• This will happen after the motor pulses a number of times (i.e switches on and off in quick succession) and the blockage indicator LED will illuminate.
• Leave to cool down before looking for blockages.
• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before looking for blockages. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• Make sure any blockages are clear and all parts are refitted before using your machine.
• Refit all parts securely before using.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.

LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
The motor will pulse and the blockage indicator LED will illuminate when there is a blockage. Please follow the instructions below to locate the blockage:

• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before looking for blockages. Be careful not to pull the ‘ON’ trigger.
• Do not operate while checking for blockages. Doing so could result in personal injury.
• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
• To check for blockages in the main body of the appliance, remove the clear bin following the instructions in the cleaning the clear bin section and remove the blockage.
• If you cannot clear an obstruction from the cleanerhead, you may need to remove the brush bar. Use a coin to unlock the fastener, slide the brush bar out of the cleanerhead and remove the obstruction. Replace the brush bar and secure it by tightening the fastener. Ensure it is fixed firmly before operating the appliance.
• This machine has carbon fibre brushes. Take care if coming into contact with them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after handling the brushes.
• Refit all parts securely before using.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.

CHARGING AND STORING

• This appliance will switch ‘OFF’ if the battery temperature is below 3°C (37.4°F). This is designed to protect the motor and battery. Do not charge the appliance and then move it to an area with a temperature below 3°C (37.4°F) 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.
• Use only the Dyson charger Part Number 217160 or 270576 for charging this Dyson machine.
