USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
Please read the ‘Impor tan t Safety Ins truc tions ‘ in this Dyson Opera ting Manual before proceeding . Opera tion
-
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids – electric shock could occur.
-
Ensure the appliance remains upright in use and in storage. Dirt and debris may be released if it is turned upside down.
-
Do not operate while checking for blockages.
-
For domestic indoor and car use only. Do not use it whilst the car is in motion or while driving.
-
To operate the boost mode, hold the trigger down and press the boost button. The ‘boost’ button will light up.
-
To switch off boost mode, hold the trigger down and press the boost button again. Note: The appliance will retain the last used mode. So if you use it in boost mode and do not disengage it, the appliance will operate in boost mode when it is next used until you depress the boost button to disengage it.
-
This product 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.
DOCKING STATION INSTALLATION -
Use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type and ensure that the docking station is mounted securely. Ensure no pipe work (gas, water, air) or electrical cables, wires or ductwork are located directly behind the mounting area. 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, eyeware and materials when installing the docking station.
CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS -
Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions.
-
The brush bar on the appliance 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.
-
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.
LOOKING AFT ER 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.
VACUUMING
-
Do not use without the clear bin and filter 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 minimise any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object into the clear bin unless you have first emptied it. Clean the
clear bin with a damp cloth only. (See ‘Cleaning the clear bin’.) -
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
-
Do not rest the appliance on chairs, tables, etc.
-
Do not press down on the nozzle with excessive force when using the appliance 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 lustre. If this happens, wipe with a damp cloth, polish the area with wax, and wait for it to dry.
