|
|
| outdoors, or immersed in liquid, contact the Dyson Helpline. |
| 8 |
| Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. Do not pull or carry the charging unit |

|
|
| unit should be placed or mounted away from sinks or hot surfaces. |

| 12 | Do not use the appliance without the clear bin and filters in place. | |
| 13 | Do not put any object into openings in the machine. Do not use with any opening | |
|
|

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, and dried it again.
