22 When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear
bin
TM
or wand. These are not associated with the electricity supply. To minimize any
effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object into the clear bin
TM
unless
you have first emptied it and rinsed it out with cold water.
23 Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this
manual or advised by the Dyson Helpline.
24 Consult your flooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before vacuuming
and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpets. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating
brushbar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in
bare floors mode and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
