 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

WARNING

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

1. Do not leave vacuum when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
3. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only Dyson recommended attachments.
5. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, contact the Dyson Helpline.
6. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
8. Do not handle plug or vacuum with wet hands.
9. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts, such as the brush bar.
11. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
12. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
13. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.
14. Unplug before connecting accessory tools.
15. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
16. Do not use without clear bin™ and filters in place.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POLARIZATION INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

WARNING

If the power cord is damaged, it should only be replaced by the manufacturer or its agent or authorized service center by a qualified technician, to avoid danger of electrocution.

Do not pull on the cord.

Do not store near heat sources.

Do not use near open flame.

Do not run over the cord.

Do not pick up water or liquids.

Do not pick up burning objects.

Do not use above you on the stairs.

Do not put hands near the brush bar when the vacuum is in use.

ASSEMBLY

• Stand vacuum up straight, attach wand to hose and push into place until it clicks.
• Attach tools to the side of the vacuum.
• Ensure hose is straight when inserting wand.

USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM

Push cleaner head down with foot and pull handle towards you.
To switch ‘ON’, depress power button in front of handle.
Use the cyclone carry handle to carry the vacuum.

CAUTION:

• If the vacuum is not functioning properly, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or immersed in liquid, contact the Dyson Helpline.
• 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.
• 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 your vacuum outdoors or on wet surfaces. Vacuum may be used inside a garage only when used with the Model 08909 Dyson Car Cleaning Kit accessories. If used in a garage, care should be taken to wipe the soleplate and wheels with a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could damage delicate floors.
• Do not use 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 manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline.

PLEASE NOTE:

• This vacuum is intended for household use only. Fine dust such as plaster dust or flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.

• 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. 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.

USING THE TOOLS – HIGH-REACH CLEANING

CAUTION:

• Switch ‘OFF’ the vacuum before changing tools.
• Powerful suction can cause the hose to ‘pull back’ – please take care.
• Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs; do not work with the vacuum above you on the stairs. Do not put the vacuum on chairs, tables etc.
• Ensure the vacuum is in upright position before using tools.

PLEASE NOTE:

• To release the wand, open the wand cap and pull the tube until the wand releases from the vacuum. Tools can be attached to either the hose or wand.
• The brush bar will not rotate when the vacuum is in an upright position.
• Ensure wand cap is closed when not in use.

CLEAR BIN™ EMPTYING

CAUTION:

• Switch ‘OFF’ vacuum and unplug the vacuum before emptying the clear bin™.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
• To remove the clear bin™ from the vacuum press the button at rear of cyclone carrying handle. To release the dirt, press the red clear bin™ release button.
• Do not use the vacuum without the clear bin™ in place.
• Emptying in a bag is recommended for allergy sufferers.

CLEAR BIN™ CLEANING

CAUTION:

• Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.
• Ensure the clear bin™ is completely dry before replacing.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin™.
• Do not put clear bin™ in a dishwasher.

WASHING YOUR FILTER

CAUTION:

• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the vacuum before removing the filter.
• Ensure the filter is completely dry before refitting to the vacuum.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Check your filter regularly and wash at least every 6 months according to instructions to maintain performance.
• Please leave to dry completely for 24 hours.
• The filter may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
• Do not use detergents to clean the filter.
• Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave or near an open flame.

LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES

CAUTION:

• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the vacuum before checking for blockages. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• Please ensure vacuum is upright and switched off before removing hose or airway inspection parts.
• Beware of sharp objects when clearing blockages.
• Refit all parts of the vacuum securely before using.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Clearing blockages is not covered by your vacuum’s limited warranty. This vacuum is fitted with a thermal cut-out. If any part of your vacuum becomes blocked, it may overheat and then automatically shut off. Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the vacuum and leave to cool down for at least 60 minutes before attempting to check filter or for blockages. Clear blockage before restarting.

CLEARING BLOCKAGES

CAUTION:

• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the vacuum before clearing brush bar obstructions. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• If any part of your machine becomes blocked, it may overheat and then automatically shut off. Unplug machine and leave to cool down. Clear blockage before restarting.
