TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:

9.  Do not stretch the cable or place the cable under strain. Keep the cable away from heated surfaces. Do not close a door on the cable, or pull the cable around sharp edges or corners. Arrange the cable away from traffic areas and where it will not be stepped on or tripped over. Do not run the appliance over the cable.

USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
PLEASE READ THE ‘IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS’ IN THIS DYSON OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
CARRYING THE APPLIANCE

•  Carry the appliance by the main handle on the body.
• Do not press the cyclone release button or shake the appliance when carrying or the cyclone could disengage, fall off and cause injury.

OPERATION

•  Always extend the cable fully to the red tape before use.
• Plug the appliance into the mains electricity supply.
• After use: unplug, retract the cable safely, put the appliance away.
• Switch ‘OFF’ the appliance and unplug before:
  – changing tools
  – removing the hose or airway inspection parts.

CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS

• The brush bar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch the appliance ‘ON’.
• The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. See ‘Brush bar – clearing obstructions’.
•  To switch the brush bar ‘OFF’ (e.g. for delicate flooring), twist the dial on the cleaner head a quarter of a turn. The brush bar will stop.
• When the appliance is running and the brush bar has been switched ‘OFF’, the brush bar can be switched ‘ON’ again by twisting the dial on the cleaner head a quarter of a turn. The brush bar will start. Alternatively, switch the appliance ‘OFF’; the dial will return to its original position. When the appliance is switched ‘ON’ again the brush bar starts automatically.
• Some carpets may 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 the flooring manufacturer.
• The brush bar on the appliance may damage some carpet types. If you are unsure, turn ‘OFF’ the brush bar.
• This product 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.
• Check the brush bar regularly and clear away any debris (such as hair). Debris left on the brush bar may cause damage to flooring when vacuuming.

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 guarantee.
•  Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 3°C (37.4°F). 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 and ball with a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could damage delicate floors.

VACUUMING

• Do not use without the clear bin and filters in place.
• Fine dirt such as 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 mains 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 cleaned it with a damp cloth (see ‘Cleaning the clear bin’).
• 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 lino, first, check that the underside of the floor tool and its brushes are free from foreign objects that could cause marking.
• Do not push hard with the floor tool when vacuuming, as this may cause damage.
• Do not leave the cleaner head in one place on delicate floors.
• On waxed floors, the movement of the cleaner head may create an uneven luster. If this happens, wipe with a damp cloth, polish the area with wax,  and wait for it to dry.
• To park the wand, collapse the wand and then store the cleaner head by inserting it in the clip at the back of the handle.

EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN

• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before emptying the clear bin.
• To remove the cyclone and clear the bin unit, press down on the red button on the top of the carrying handle on the cyclone.
• To release the dirt, press all the way down on the same red button on the top 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 it.
• Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.
• Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
• To refit:
  – ensure the airway in the bin base is clear of dust and dirt
  – 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 cyclone and clear bin (see ‘Emptying the clear bin’).
• 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.
•  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 in water or pour water into the cyclones.
•  Clean the cyclone shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
• To refit:
  – fit the cyclone shroud into the clear bin so that the silver button clicks and engages. Ensure that the front of the clear bin is locked in place
  – 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 the filters with cold water only. Do not use detergents.
•  Do not put the filters in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave or near a naked flame.

FILTER A

•  Remove the cyclone and clear bin (instructions above).
• Release the catch on the front of the cyclone handle. Swing the handle back.
• Lift out the filter.
• Wash the filter with cold water only. Hold under a tap and run water through the open end until the water runs clear. Turn upside down and tap out.
•  Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.
• Run water over the outside of the filter until the water runs clear.
• Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.
•  Stand the filter on its wide, open end to dry. Leave to dry completely for a minimum of 24 hours.
• Replace the filter into the cyclone. Swing the handle back into place. Ensure the latch clicks to engage and is secure. Fit the cyclone and clear bin unit onto the appliance (instructions above).

FILTER B

• To remove filter B:
  – use a coin to turn the fastener one-quarter anti-clockwise to the unlocked position
  –lift out the filter.
• Filter B should be rinsed in cold water only and tapped out until the water runs clear, then tapped out again to ensure all excess water is removed. Tap out on the hard plastic edge of the filter, not the rubber edge. Leave to dry completely for 24 hours.
•  To refit, re-assemble in reverse order.
  IMPORTANT: After washing please leave the filters at least 24 hours to dry completely before refitting.
  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).
• If this happens, follow the instructions below in ‘Looking for blockages’.
•  NOTE: Large items may block the tools or wand inlet. If this happens, do not operate the wand release catch. Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES

• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before looking for blockages. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• Leave to cool down before looking for blockages.
•  Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
• To gain access to blockages in the floor tool, remove the base plate by using a coin to loosen the screw marked with a padlock.
•  To access the inspection channel, remove the main hose and clear the bin.
•  Inspect for blockages.
•  Clear any blockage before restarting.
• Refit all parts securely before using.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your Dyson guarantee.

•  Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before proceeding. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• Remove the brush bar by using a coin to loosen the fastener marked with a padlock until it clicks.
