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.

USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM

CAUTION

• 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 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 it outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids – electric shock could occur.
• 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 Customer Care 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.
• If used in a garage, basement, or other debris-filled area, 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.
• 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 with the brush bar switched off and consulting with your flooring manufacturer
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear bin. These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the main 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 ‘Cleaning the clear bin’ section.)
• Do not use or store this vacuum below 0°C (32°F). Ensure that the vacuum is at room temperature before operating.

TOOL ATTACHMENTS

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.

EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN

Caution

• Switch ‘OFF’ the vacuum and unplug it before emptying the clear bin.
• 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 the rear of the cyclone carrying handle. To release the dirt, press the red bin release button. Emptying into a bag is recommended for allergy sufferers.
• Do not use the vacuum without the clear bin in place.
• To minimize dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in a plastic bag and empty it. Remove the clear bin carefully and seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.

CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN

Caution

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

Please note

• Do not use detergents, polishes, or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
• Do not put the clear bin in the dishwasher.
• Clean the shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.

WASHING YOUR FILTERS DO THIS EVERY MONTH

Caution

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

Please note

• This machine has two filters, located as shown. It is important to check your filters regularly and wash at least every month according to instructions, to maintain performance. Filter B should be rinsed and tapped out until the water runs clean, then tapped out again to ensure all excess water is removed. This will normally require up to 10 rinse cycles.
• After washing please leave for 24 hours to dry completely.
• The filters may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
• Do not use detergents to clean the filters.
• Do not put the filters 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.
• Beware of sharp objects when clearing blockages.
• Refit all parts of the vacuum cleaner securely before using it.

Please note

• Clearing blockages is not covered by your vacuum’s limited warranty. If any part of your vacuum becomes blocked, it may overheat and then automatically shut off. Unplug the vacuum and leave to cool down. Clear blockage before restarting.
• Large items may block the tools or wand inlet, if this happens switch the vacuum off and unplug the vacuum before removing the blockage. Do not operate the wand release
