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

DOCKING STATION INSTALLATION

Follow the instructions on the Installation leaflet.
Click the attachments into place.
Place the appliance in the docking station.

VACUUMING

Remove the appliance from the docking station.
Check that the underside of the cleaner head or tool is clean and free from foreign objects that may cause damage.
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 motorized floor tool and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.

EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN

Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill. (Please do not use the appliance when the dirt exceeds the MAX line. The dirt will reach the filter, more frequent maintenance of the filter will be required.)
Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before emptying the clear bin. Be careful not to pull the ‘ON’ trigger.
Avoid pulling the “ON” trigger when emptying.
Remove the wand by pressing the red wand release button and pulling away from the bin.
To release the dirt:
- Hold the appliance with the bin in a downwards position.
- firmly push the red bin release button.
