Important safety instructions

P L E A S E R E A D C A R E F U L L Y B E F O R E U S E

Check that your supply corresponds to that shown on the rating plate. The appliance must only be used as rated, and it should be fitted with an approved fuse to BS1362. This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 13 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 13 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse. If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local Dyson dealer.

If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home then the fuse should be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.

If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE: Neutral BROWN: Live

As the colours of the wire in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

1.The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.

2.The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.

Under no circumstances should either of these wires be connected to the earth

terminal of the three pin plug, marked with the letter E or the Earth Symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.

Always ensure that the cable clamp is fitted and that it clamps the cable outer and NOT the coloured wires.

How to replace the fuse:

UNWANTED PRODUCTS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Should you find one day that your product needs replacement, or is of no further use to you, think of the protection of the environment. Contact the Dyson Helpline to recycle your cleaner. The cleaner’s plastic parts will be sorted, cleaned, re-cleaned, separated, granulated, dyed and re-moulded. The re-cycled parts will then go to make new, Dyson Recyclone cleaners – the world’s first recycled vacuum cleaner.

By doing so you will reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury.

•Do not leave the vacuum cleaner plugged into the mains socket outlet. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning the

appliance, and before maintenance operations.

•Ensure that hands, feet and fingers, particularly of small children are kept away from the cleaner and especially from the brushbar. If hanging the

cleaner by the storage hook, ensure it is securely fixed and out of the way of children and pets. Never allow children to play with or use this appliance.

•Do not use without the bin assembly fitted correctly and both filters in place. Do not fit anything other than Dyson spare parts. This could invalidate your guarantee (Call the Dyson Helpline on 0990 275104).

•Do not carry out any maintenance work on the cleaner other than that outlined in this manual, especially where electrical components are

concerned.

•Ensure that the brushbar is off when cleaning smooth floors to avoid marking. If carpet pilling occurs, either use the cleaner with brushbar on to

remove, or contact the carpet retailer.

•Static charges can occur in the clear bin when vacuuming certain carpets. These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the mains supply.

To minimise any effect, do not put your hand or insert any object into the clear bin unless you have first emptied and rinsed out the clear bin with water. If wiping dust from the shroud, use a brush or a damp cloth.

•Do not use the cleaner if the cable or plug are damaged or if the machine has been damaged, dropped or has come into contact with water or any

other liquids. In these cases, contact the Dyson Helpline on 0990 275104.

•Do not put any part of the body, clothes or any object near or into the openings or moving parts of the machine. Do not use the machine with any

of the openings blocked with an object that may restrict the air flow.

•Do not damage the cable by running the cleaner head over it, closing a door on it or running it over sharp edges. Do not put the cable near or on hot

surfaces. If the cable is damaged, call the Dyson Helpline.

•Always stand above the machine when cleaning on the stairs.

•Do not, under any circumstances, use the cleaner to pick up water or any other liquid. Electrical shocks could occur if used outdoors or on wet surfaces.

•Do not use the cleaner or handle the plug with wet hands.

•Do not use the machine to pick up flammable or combustible substances and do not use near such substances. Never pick up asbestos or asbestos

dust or poisonous solids, such as copier toner.

•Do not use the machine to pick up hot ashes or burning objects of any kind.

•Do not immerse the whole machine in water for cleaning. The clear bin alone may be washed out after emptying. Do not remove bin inner and

seals. Ensure it is completely dry before re-using the cleaner.

•Do not use the cleaner near open or gas fires when they are lit.

•Turn the machine off by the switch button before unplugging from a mains outlet.

•When carrying the cleaner, use only the carrying handle positioned immediately below the on/off switch.

DC03 specifications

The Dyson DC03 is a sophisticated vacuum cleaner that made its debut in the late 1990s and quickly became a household name due to its innovative design and powerful performance. Renowned for its bagless technology and distinct appearance, the DC03 was a game-changer in the realm of home cleaning.

One of the key features of the Dyson DC03 is its dual cyclone technology. Unlike traditional vacuum cleaners that rely on bags to capture dirt and dust, the DC03 employs a system of two cyclones that create powerful centrifugal forces. This technology enables the vacuum to separate particles from the airflow, capturing dust and allergens effectively, while maintaining optimal suction power. The result is a cleaner home environment and reduced risk of dust re-entrainment.

The DC03's design was both practical and user-friendly. It features a lightweight construction, making it easy to maneuver around the home, whether you're tackling carpets, hard floors, or upholstery. The vacuum comes with various attachments that enhance its versatility. For example, it includes a crevice tool for tight spaces and a dusting brush for delicate surfaces, ensuring you can clean every corner of your home efficiently.

Another standout characteristic of the Dyson DC03 is its washable HEPA filter. This filter is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers, as it captures microscopic allergens and pet dander, improving indoor air quality. Cleaning the filter is straightforward—just rinse it under running water, and it is ready to use again, helping users save on replacement costs.

The ergonomic design of the DC03 includes a comfortable handle and a variety of height adjustments, allowing users to clean with ease regardless of their stature. Its compact size ensures it can be stored conveniently in a closet or utility room.

In conclusion, the Dyson DC03 represents a remarkable blend of advanced technology, user convenience, and effective cleaning performance. With its dual cyclone technology, powerful suction, and thoughtful design features, it is no surprise that the DC03 remains a popular choice for those seeking an efficient and reliable vacuum cleaner. This model exemplifies Dyson's commitment to innovation and quality, setting a high standard for future models in the industry.
