USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE

OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.

OPERATION

it is turned upside down.

• Do not operate while checking for blockages.

DOCKING STATION INSTALLATION

Use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type and ensure that the

docking station is mounted securely. Ensure no pipe work (gas, water, air) or

electrical cables, wires or ductwork are located directly behind the mounting

area. The docking station must be mounted in accordance with regulations

and applicable codes/standards (state and local laws may apply). Dyson

recommends the use of protective clothing, eyeware and materials as necessary.

CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS

• Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer’s

recommended cleaning instructions.

• The brush bar on the appliance can damage certain carpet types and floors.

Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this

happens, we recommend vacuuming without the motorised floor tool and

consulting with your flooring manufacturer.

• Before vacuuming highly polished floors, such as wood or lino, first check that

the underside of the floor tool and its brushes are free from foreign objects that

could cause marking.

LOOKING AFTER YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE

• Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this

Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline.

• Only use parts recommended by Dyson. If you do not this could invalidate your

guarantee.

• Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 3°C (37°F). Ensure the

appliance is at room temperature before operating.

• Clean the appliance only with a dry cloth. Do not use any lubricants, cleaning

agents, polishes or air fresheners on any part of the appliance.

VACUUMING

• Do not use without the clear bin and filter in place.

• Fine dirt such as plaster dust or flour should only be vacuumed in very small

amounts.

• Do not use the appliance to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper

clips, etc. They may damage the appliance.

• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the

clear bin or nozzle. These are harmless and are not associated with the mains

electricity supply. To minimise any effect from this, do not put your hand or

insert any object into the clear bin unless you have first emptied it and cleaned it

with a damp cloth (see ‘Cleaning the clear bin’).

• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

• Do not rest the appliance on chairs, tables, etc.

• Do not press down on the nozzle with excessive force when using the appliance

as this may cause damage.

• Do not leave the cleaner head in one place on delicate floors.

• On waxed floors the movement of the cleaner head may create an uneven

lustre. If this happens, wipe with a damp cloth, polish the area with wax, and

wait for it to dry.

DIAGNOSTICS –APPLIANCE

Less than one minute of charge remaining/fully discharged.

Too cold/too hot - do not use.

EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN

• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.

• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before emptying the

clear bin.

• To release the dirt, push the red button at the side of the clear bin as shown.

• To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in

a plastic bag and empty.

• Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.

• To make emptying the clear bin easier, it is advisable to remove the wand and

floor tool.

CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN

clear bin.

• Be careful not to pull the ‘ON’ trigger.

would when emptying the clear bin. This will expose the red release button on

the underside of the handle. Press this to release the clear bin.

• Remove the clear bin carefully.

• Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only.

• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.

• Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.

• Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.

• Clean the cyclone shroud with a dry cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.

• To replace the clear bin, fit the tab on the rim of the cyclone shroud into the

aperture on the inside of the top of the clear bin. Push the clean bin up and in. It

will click into place.

• Close the base of the clear bin.

WASHING YOUR FILTER

• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before removing the

filter.

• Your appliance has one washable filter, located as shown.

• Press the ‘Filter’ button so you can remove the cyclone and clear bin unit.

• Check and wash the filter regularly according to instructions to maintain

performance.

• The filter may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust or if used

mainly in ‘HIGH CONSTANT SUCTION’ mode.

• Wash the filter with cold water only. Do not use detergents.

• Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,

microwave or near a naked flame.

• IMPORTANT: After washing please leave at least 12 hours to dry completely

before refitting.

• Place the dry filter into the recess of the handle.

• Fit the base of the handle into the aperture on the base of the cyclone and clear

bin unit. Push both halves together until the ‘Filter’ button engages and locks

into place.

LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES

• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before looking for

blockages.

• Do not operate while checking for blockages. Failure to do so could result in

personal injury.

• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.

• Refit all parts securely before using.

• Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.

• If you cannot clear an obstruction you may need to remove the brush bar. Use

a coin to unlock the fastener marked with a padlock. Remove the obstruction.

Replace the brush bar and secure it by locking the fastener. Ensure it is fixed

firmly before operating the appliance.

• Take care if coming into contact with the carbon fibre brushes, as they may

cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after handling the brushes.

CLEARING BLOCKAGES – THERMAL CUT-OUT

• This appliance is fitted with an automatically resetting thermal cut-out.

• Large items may block the tools or nozzle. If any part becomes blocked the

appliance may overheat and automatically cut-out.

• Leave to cool down for 1-2 hours before checking the filter or for blockages.

• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before looking for

blockages. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

• Clear any blockage before restarting.

• Refit all parts of the appliance securely before using.

• Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.

CHARGING AND STORING

• This appliance will switch ‘OFF’ if the battery temperature is below 3°C(37.4°F).

This is designed to protect the motor and battery. Do not charge the appliance

and then move it to an area with a temperature below 3°C(37.4°F) for storage

purposes.

• To help prolong battery life, avoid recharging immediately after a full discharge.

Allow to cool for a few minutes.

• Avoid using the appliance with the battery flush to a surface. This will help it run

cooler and prolong battery run time and life.

• If mounting the docking station on a wall, follow the instructions supplied with

this appliance. Ensure the docking station is fitted correctly and the right way

up, so the motor of the appliance is at the top when in place. Take all necessary

safety precautions. Use appropriate fixings, tools and safety equipment.
