followed, including the following:
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:
- Do not leave the Dyson vacuum when plugged in. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.
- Do not use it outdoors or on wet surfaces. Suitable for dry locations only. Do not use it to pick up water.
- Do not allow it to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the Dyson vacuum.
- This Dyson vacuum is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons with reduced physical, sensory, or reasoning capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction by a responsible person concerning the use of the Dyson vacuum to ensure that they can use the Dyson vacuum safely.
- Use only as described in this manual. Use only Dyson-recommended accessories and replacement parts. Do not carry out any maintenance other than that shown in this manual, or advised by the Dyson Customer Care Helpline. Contact the Dyson Customer Care Helpline when service or repair is required. Do not disassemble the Dyson vacuum as incorrect reassembly may result in an electric shock or fire.
- Do not use a damaged cord or plug. If the Dyson vacuum is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, do not use it and contact the Dyson Customer Care Helpline. If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by Dyson, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
- Do not pull or carry by cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the Dyson vacuum over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. To avoid a tripping hazard wind the cord when not in use.
- Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
- Do not handle the plug or Dyson vacuum with wet hands.
- Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.
- Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts, such as the brush bar. Do not point the hose, wand or tools at your eyes or ears or put them in your mouth.
- Turn off all controls before unplugging.
- Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do not work with the Dyson vacuum above you on the stairs.
- Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they or their vapors may be present.
- Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
- Do not use without the clear bin and filters in place.
- The use of an extension cord is not recommended.

IMPORTANT WASH FILTER
Wash filters with cold water at least eash filters with cold water at least every 3 months.
Rinse and shake the filter under the tap. Turn over and tap very firmly to remove motor emissions. Repeat 10x or until the water runs clear.
ASSEMBLY

- Stand the vacuum up straight, attach the wand to the hose, and push it into place until it clicks.
- Push the wand down into the hose and attach tools to the side of the vacuum.
USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM
Press the foot pedal and recline the handle to use. The stabilizer stands will
automatically lift up. To switch ‘ON’, depress the power button in front of
the handle. After cleaning, push the vacuum into an upright position and the
stabilizer wheels will automatically drop. Use the cyclone carry handle to
carry the vacuum.
CAUTION
-
Do not use or store this machine below 32°F (0°C). Ensure that the machine is at room temperature before operating.
-
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 the vacuum before performing maintenance on your vacuum.
-
When returning to the upright position, ensure that the stabilizer wheels are fully engaged before releasing the 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 it outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids – electric shock could occur.
-
Check to ensure your electricity supply corresponds to that shown on the rating plate, which can be found behind the clear bin. The vacuum must only be used as rated.
-
Do not lubricate any parts, or carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline.
PLEASE NOTE: -

-
Do not use the vacuum to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper clips, etc. They may damage the vacuum.

Consult your flooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before vacuuming and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpet. The brush bar on the machine can damage certain carpet types and floors.
-
If unsure turn the brush bar off in order to enable proper operation. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in bare floors mode and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
-
When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear bin or wand. These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the 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 ‘clear bin cleaning section).
CARPETS/HARD FLOORS
The brush bar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch on the vacuum and recline it for cleaning. The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. If the brush bar stops during use, please refer to the ‘Clearing brush bar obstructions’ section. To switch the brush bar off (e.g. for hard floors), recline the vacuum and turn it ‘ON’, then press the brush bar ‘ON/OFF button – the brush bar will stop spinning.

-
Ensure the vacuum is in an upright position before using tools.
PLEASE NOTE: -

Ensure the wand cap is closed when not in use.
