Fine dust such as plaster or flour should only be vacuumed in very small
amounts.
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 flooring, rugs and carpets. Some carpets will
fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this is the case, we
recommend vacuuming in hard floors mode and consulting with your flooring
manufacturer. (Refer to carpets/hard floors section.)
If used in a garage when cleaning the car, 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 clear
bin. 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 emptied it and rinsed it out with cold water.
Only use parts recommended by Dyson; failure to do so could invalidate
your guarantee.
Do not use any lubricants, cleaning agents, polishes or air fresheners on any
part of the Dyson vacuum.
This Dyson vacuum is fitted with a thermal cut-out. If any part of the Dyson
vacuum becomes blocked the machine may overheat and automatically shut
off. If this happens, switch off and unplug the Dyson vacuum and allow to cool
before attempting to check filters or for blockages. Clear any blockages before
restarting.
