Please note that if the filters are not checked regularly and changed as required, the motor may overheat, which will cause the thermal cut-out to operate.

NOTE: Vacuuming builder’s dust and some carpet fresheners may cause the filters to require changing more frequently. (Dyson does not recommend the use of carpet fresheners).

Replacement filters are available from your local retailer or direct from Dyson. Call or fax the Helpline for orders.

IMPORTANT: Use only genuine Dyson filters, which have been tested and approved for this cleaner.
