USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM
Unwind the cord and insert the plug into a suitable socket. Hold the cleaner head down with your foot and pull the handle downwards. To switch ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ press the power button in front of the handle.
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.
•When returning to the upright position, ensure that the wand and clear bin assembly are fully upright before releasing the 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 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 Custome Care Helpline.
PLEASE NOTE:
•This vacuum is intended for domestic 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, 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 in hard floors mode 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 mains 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.
HARD FLOORS/CARPETS
Ensure the machine is in an upright position before adjusting the setting. The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. If the brush bar stops during use, please refer to the ‘Clearing brush bar obstructions’ section.
HIGH-REACH CLEANING
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.
•Ensure vacuum is in upright position before using tools.
PLEASE NOTE:
•To release the wand, open the wand cap and pull the red tube from inside the handle until it clicks. Press button to release the wand and hose from the machine. Tools can be attached to either the hose or wand.
•The brush bar will not rotate when the vacuum is in an upright position.
•Ensure wand cap is closed when not in use.
EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN
CAUTION:
•Switch ‘OFF’ the vacuum and unplug 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 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. Remove the clear bin carefully and seal bag tightly, dispose as normal.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
CAUTION:
To remove the cyclone unit from the clear bin press the red bin release button. This exposes a small silver button behind the red opening mechanism. Press the silver button and separate the cyclone unit from the clear bin.
•Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
PLEASE NOTE:
•Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
•Do not put clear bin in a dishwasher.

WASHING YOUR FILTERS
DO THIS EVERY 3 MONTHS
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 3 months 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.
