WASHING THE FILTERS

• Your appliance has two washable filters; wash the filters at least once a month

according to the following instructions to maintain performance. More frequent

washing may be required where the user: vacuums fine dust, operates mainly in

'Powerful suction' mode, or uses the machine intensively.

WASHING FILTER A

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

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

• 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 ‘Powerful suction’ mode.

• To remove the filter, lift it out of the top of the appliance.

• Wash the filter with cold water only. No hot water and no detergents.

• 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.

• Leave the filter to dry completely for a minimum of 24 hours.

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

microwave or near a naked flame.

• To refit, place the dry filter back into the top of the appliance. Make sure it is

seated properly.

WASHING FILTER B

• To remove the filter, twist anti clockwise to the open position and pull away from

the appliance.

• Wash the inside of the filter under cold running water, rotating the filter to

ensure all pleats are covered.

• Gently tap the filter against the side of the sink several times to remove

any debris.

• Repeat this process 4-5 times until the filter is clean.

• Place the filter upright, with the Max button facing upwards, and leave to dry

completely for a minimum of 24 hours.

• To refit, return the filter to the open position and twist clockwise until it clicks

into place.

BLOCKAGES – AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT

• This appliance is fitted with an automatic cut-out.

• If any part becomes blocked the appliance may automatically cut out.

• This will happen after the motor pulses a number of times (i.e switches on and

off in quick succession).

• Leave to cool down before looking 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 securely before using.

• Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.

The motor will pulse when there is a blockage. Please follow the instructions

below to locate the blockage:

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

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

• Do not operate while checking for blockages. Doing so could result in

personal injury.

• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.

• To check for blockages in the main body of the appliance, remove the clear

bin and cyclone as per the instructions in the cleaning the clear bin section and

remove the blockage. Please consult the 'Stubborn blockages' section of the

illustrations for further guidance.

• If you cannot clear an obstruction you may need to remove the brush bars,

please follow the instructions below:

the soft roller cleanerhead brush bars' section. Remove the obstruction and

replace the brush bars as shown in the ‘Washing the soft roller cleanerhead

– To remove the brush bar from the direct drive cleanerhead, use a coin to

unlock the fastener and slide the brush bar out of the cleanerhead. Remove

the obstruction. Replace the brush bar and secure it by tightening the fastener.

Ensure it is fixed firmly before operating the appliance.

• This appliance has carbon fibre brushes. Take care if coming into contact with

them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after handling

the brushes.

• Refit all parts securely before using.

• Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.

DIAGNOSTICS – LIGHTS DURING CHARGING

DIAGNOSTICS – DURING USE

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 when

installing the docking station.

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 (37.4°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 filters in place.

• Fine dirt such as 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. Clean the

clear bin with a damp cloth only. (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.

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. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.

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

floor tool.

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

a plastic bag and empty.

• To release the dirt, hold the appliance by the handle, pull the red lever back and

lift upwards to release the cyclone. Continue until the bin base automatically

opens and releases the dirt.

• Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.

• Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.

• To close, push the cyclone downwards until it is in the normal position and

manually close the base of the bin – the base will click when it is securely

in place.

CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN

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

clear bin. Be careful not to pull the ‘ON’ trigger.

• Remove the wand and floor tool.

• To remove the cyclone, hold the appliance by the handle, pull the red lever

towards you and lift upwards until the bin opens, then push in the red button

located behind the cyclone and lift the cyclone out.

• To detach the clear bin from the appliance, pull back on the red catch located

at the base, slide the clear bin down and carefully remove forwards from the

main body.

• Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only.

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

• Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.

• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.

• To replace the clear bin, align the tabs on the clear bin with the grooves on the

main body and slide upwards into place until the catch clicks.

• Slide the cyclone into the grooves of the main body and push downwards until

it is in its normal position and manually close the base of the bin – the base will

click when it is securely in place.
