LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
•Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before looking for blockages. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
•Look for blockages in the wand, airways and cleaner head.
•To remove the base plate to access an obstruction, see ‘Base plate – disassembly/reassembly’.
•To look for blockages in the airway between the ball and the cleaner head you will need to remove the cleaner head: see ‘Base plate – disassembly/ reassembly’ below on how to do this.
•Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
•Refit all parts securely before using.
•Clearing blockages is not covered by your warranty.
CLEARING BLOCKAGES – THERMAL CUT-OUT
•This appliance is fitted with an automatically resetting thermal cut-out.
•Large items may block the tools or wand inlet. If any part becomes blocked the appliance may overheat and automatically cut-out.
•Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug. Leave to cool down for 1-2 hours before checking the filters or for blockages.
•Clear any blockage before restarting.
•Clearing blockages is not covered by your warranty.
BRUSH BAR – CLEARING OBSTRUCTIONS
•If your brush bar is obstructed, it may shut off. If this happens, you will need to remove the blockage.
•Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before proceeding. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
•Beware of sharp objects when clearing obstructions.
•If you still cannot clear the obstruction, please follow the instructions below to remove the base plate. This gives more access to the obstruction. Alternatively, contact a Dyson expert on the Dyson Helpline or visit the website. Clearing brush bar obstructions is not covered by your warranty.
BASE PLATE - DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
•Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before proceeding. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
•Lie the appliance on its front.
•Detach the red ‘C’ clip which is on the connection between the cleaner head and the appliance. It is quite firm, but do not pull it off roughly. Use a constant, firm pressure.
•Pull the cleaner head away from the appliance. Use a constant, firm pressure.
•At each end of the cleaner head are two levers:
–swing them out at right angles
–the base plate will disengage
–lift up the top edge, so it rotates to the upright position
–lift out.
•Beware of sharp objects when clearing obstructions.
•To refit the base plate:
–fit the 3 lugs on the lower edge of the base plate into the 3 slots in the base of the cleaner head
–swing the upper edge of the base plate down; it will click into place.
•To secure the base plate push both levers back into position so they are flush with the surface of the cleaner head.
•Refit the red ‘C ‘clip onto the cleaner head. The flatter edge of the clip fits against the cleaner head. It is easier to slide one lug into its slot before the other.
•Lie the appliance on its back.
•Attach the cleaner head by sliding it on to the connections on the lower front part of the ball. Ensure the electrical plug on the cleaner head fits into the twin-block connection on the body of the appliance, which is directly above the airway. Push firmly: the cleaner head will click into place.
BRUSH BAR – TROUBLESHOOTING
If the brush bar has stopped spinning, follow the instructions above on clearing obstructions. Alternatively, contact a Dyson expert on the Dyson Helpline or visit the website.
