USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM CLEANER
PLEASE NOTE:
• Always extend the cable fully to the red tape before use.
• Fine dust such as plaster dust or flour should only be vacuumed in very
smallamounts.
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up sharp hard objects, such as small toys,
pins, paper clips etc.
• Consult your flooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before
vacuuming and caring for your floorings, rugs and carpets. Some carpets will
fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens,
we recommend vacuuming in hard floors mode and consulting with your
flooring manufacturer.
• If used in a garage for car cleaning, care should be taken to wipe the soleplate
and wheels with a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt or
pebbles which could damage delicate floors.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the
clearbin. These are entirely harmless and not associated with the main supply.
• To minimise any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object
into the clear bin unless you have you have emptied it and rinsed it out with
coldwater.
• Only use parts recommended by Dyson; failure to do so could invalidate
yourguarantee.
• Store the vacuum cleaner indoors. Do not use or store this vacuum cleaner
below 0°C (32°F). Ensure that the vacuum cleaner is at room temperature before
operating.
EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN
CAUTION:
• Switch OFF and unplug the vacuum cleaner before emptying the clear bin.
• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
To remove the clear bin from the vacuum cleaner, press the button at the rear
of the carrying handle. To release the dirt press the button on the front of the
clear bin.
The British Allergy Foundation is a UK national charity with the aim of improving
awareness, prevention and treatment of allergies.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the clear bin in place.
• To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly
in a plastic bag and empty. Remove the clear bin carefully and seal bag
tightly, dispose as normal. For a free fact sheet visit http://www.dyson.co.uk/

CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
CAUTION:
• Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
• Clean the shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.

WASHING YOUR FILTER
CAUTION:
• Switch OFF and unplug the vacuum cleaner before removing the filter.
• Ensure the filter is completely dry before refitting it to the vacuum cleaner.
PLEASE NOTE:
• It is important to check your filter regularly and wash at least every six months,
according to instructions, to maintain performance.
• Please leave to dry completely for 24 hours.
• The filter may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.

microwave or near a naked flame.
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
CAUTION:
• Switch OFF and unplug the vacuum cleaner before checking for blockages.
• Beware of sharp objects when clearing blockages.
• Refit all parts of the vacuum cleaner securely before using.
PLEASE NOTE:

If any part of your vacuum cleaner becomes blocked, it may overheat and then
automatically shut off. Unplug the vacuum cleaner and leave to cool down.
Clear any blockage before restarting.
• Large items may block the tools or wand inlet, if this happens switch the vacuum
cleaner off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before removing the blockage.
