OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.

ASSEMBLY

• Lie the appliance on its back.

• The cleaner head fits onto the connections underneath the front part of the ball.

Slide the cleaner head up into the channels either side of the airway. Push firmly:

the cleaner head will click into place and the red latch will engage.

OPERATION

• Unwind the cable.

• Plug the appliance into the mains electricity supply.

• To use, pull up the handle to extend it. The red handle release button will pop

up. Recline the appliance by pulling backwards on the handle.

• To switch ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ press the red power button, located as shown.

• After use, return the appliance to the upright position, pushing it firmly into

place. The stabiliser wheels will automatically lower.

• To retract the handle, make sure the hose and wand are seated in the recess of

the handle.

• Push the red handle release button down. Slide the handle down into place in

the appliance.

• Then unplug the appliance, coil the cable safely and put the appliance away.

• Switch ‘OFF’ the appliance, unplug and ensure it is upright before:

– changing or using tools

– removing the hose or airway inspection parts.

• Use the cyclone carry handle to carry the appliance.

• The wand can be used when the handle is retracted or extended.

• To release the wand, open the wand release cap.

• Pull the wand up and away from the handle.

• In use, the tools can be attached to either the hose or the wand.

• To attach the tools to the hose, press the red release button in the connecting

collar and remove the wand from the hose.

• To refit, remove tools and place the wand into the hose until the red button clicks

into place.

• Make sure the wand and hose are seated in the recess of the handle. The hose

must be contracted.

• If the handle is extended, hold the collar with the cable hook on it and slide it

down in the recess of the handle – it will click into place. Make sure the top of

the wand clicks into place in the top of the handle at the same time. Close the

wandcap.

• Press the red handle release button down and slide the handle down into

theappliance.

• If the handle is contracted (i.e. in the low storage position), make sure the collar

with the cable hook is seated in the recess of the handle. Slide the wand down

into the hose so the top of the wand clicks into place in the top of the handle at

the same time.

CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS

• The brush bar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch the

appliance ‘ON’ and recline it for cleaning.

• The brush bar will not rotate when the appliance is upright.

• To switch the brush bar ‘OFF’ (e.g. for delicate rugs and floors):

– switch the appliance ‘ON’

– recline the appliance

– press the brush bar ‘ON/OFF’ button – the brush bar will stop spinning.

• The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. See ‘Brush bar –

clearing obstructions’.

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

recommended cleaning instructions.

• Some carpets may fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this

happens, we recommend vacuuming with the brush bar switched ‘OFF’ and

consulting with the flooring manufacturer.

• The brush bar on the appliance may damage some carpet types. If you are

unsure, turn ‘OFF’ the brush bar.

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 0°C (32°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.

• If used in a garage, always wipe the base plate, ball and stabiliser wheels with

a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt or pebbles that could

damage delicate floors.

VACUUMING

CAUTION:

• Do not use without the clear bin and filters 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 wand. 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 rinsed it out with

cold water (see ‘Cleaning the clear bin’).

• Powerful suction can cause the hose to ‘pull back’ – please take care.

• Do not work with the appliance above you on the stairs. When cleaning stairs it

is recommended that the handle is not extended and that you use a tool on the

end of the hose rather than the wand.

• Do not put the appliance on chairs, tables, etc.

• 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.

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

EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN

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

• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before emptying the clear bin.

• To remove the cyclone and clear bin unit, press down on the red button on the

top of the carrying handle on the cyclone.

• To release the dirt, press all the way down on the same red button on the top of

the carrying handle on the cyclone.

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

a plastic bag and empty.

• Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.

• Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.

• To refit:

– ensure the airway in the bin base is clear of dust and dirt

– close the clear bin base so it clicks into place

– push the cyclone and clear bin unit into the main body of the appliance; it will

click into place

– ensure the cyclone and clear bin unit is secure.

CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN

• Remove the cyclone and clear bin (instructions above).

• To separate the cyclone unit from the clear bin press the red button to open

the clear bin base. This exposes a small silver button behind the red opening

mechanism. Press the silver button (on its ribbed area) and separate the cyclone

unit from the clear bin.

• Clean the clear bin with cold water 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.

• Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.

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

• To refit:

– fit the cyclone shroud into the clear bin so that the silver button clicks

andengages

– close the clear bin base so it clicks into place

– push the cyclone and clear bin unit into the main body of the appliance;

it will click into place

– ensure the cyclone and clear bin unit is secure.

WASHING YOUR FILTERS

• Your appliance has two washable filters, located as shown.

• Check and wash the filters once a month to maintain performance.

• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before checking or removing the filters.

• The filters may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.

• Wash with cold water only. Do not use detergents.

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

microwave or near a naked flame.

Filter A

• Remove the cyclone and clear bin (instructions above).

• Release the catch on the front of the cyclone handle. Swing the handle back.

• Lift out the filter.

• Wash the filter with cold water only. Hold under a tap and run water through the

open end until the water runs clear. Turn upside down and tap out.

• Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.

• Run water over the outside of the filter until the water runs clear.

• Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.

• Stand the filter on its wide, open end to dry. Leave to dry completely for a

minimum of 24 hours.

• Replace the filter into the cyclone. Swing the handle back into place. Ensure the

latch clicks to engage and is secure. Fit the cyclone and clear bin unit onto the

appliance (instructions above).

Filter B

• Lie the appliance on its side.

• To remove filter B:

– turn the blue central locking dial on the outer cover of the ball anti-clockwise

until the cover is released

– lift off the cover

– turn the filter one-quarter anti-clockwise to release.

• Wash the filter with cold water only.

• Filter B should be rinsed and tapped out until the water runs clear, then tapped

out again to ensure all excess water is removed. (Tap on the plastic rim, not the

filter material.) Leave to dry completely for a minimum of 24 hours.

• It is normal for the filter in the ball to turn grey in colour.
