IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
This vacuum cleaner is for domestic use only. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
Do not use to suck up water or other liquids, do not immerse in water for cleaning.
Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
Do not use with damaged cable or plug. If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by Dyson’s authorised
service centres in order to avoid a hazard.
6.
If the vacuum cleaner is not functioning properly, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or immersed in liquid,
do not use, contact the Dyson Customer Care Helpline.
7.
8.
9.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if any parts appear to be faulty, missing or damaged.
Ensure all parts, including the clear bin are securely attached before using or carrying the vacuum cleaner.
This vacuum cleaner is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the vacuum cleaner by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the vacuum cleaner.
,
10. Do not leave the vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use, and before performing user
maintenance, connecting or disconnecting the hose or changing accessories.
11.
Store the vacuum cleaner indoors. Do not use or store this vacuum cleaner below 0ºC (32ºF). Ensure that the
vacuum cleaner is at room temperature before operating. Put the vacuum cleaner away after use with the cable
stored safely, to prevent tripping hazards.
12. This vacuum cleaner is fitted with a thermal protection device. If any part of your vacuum cleaner becomes blocked
it may cause the device to operate and automatically stop the vacuum cleaner. If this happens, the vacuum cleaner
must be switched off, unplugged and allowed to cool down before attempting to check filters or for blockages.
Ensure any blockage is cleared before re-starting the vacuum cleaner.
13. Do not unplug by pulling on cable. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cable.
14. Do not pull or carry by the cable, use the cable as a handle, close a door on the cable, or pull the cable around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner over the cable. Keep the cable away from heated surfaces.
15. The use of an extension cable is not recommended.
16. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
17.
Do not put any object into openings on the vacuum cleaner. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust,
lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow. Switch off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before attempting to
remove any blockage.
18. Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs. Do not work with the vacuum cleaner above you on the stairs.
19. Keep the vacuum cleaner on the floor. Do not put the vacuum cleaner on chairs, tables etc.
20. Do not shake the vacuum cleaner or press the cyclone release button while carrying the vacuum cleaner.
21. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline or petrol, or use in areas where they may
be present.
22. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
23. Check to ensure your electricity supply matches that shown on the rating plate. The vacuum cleaner must only be
used as rated.
24. Use only as described in this Dyson Operating Manual. Use only Dyson recommended attachments.
25. Do not use without the clear bin and filters in place.
26. Do not lubricate any parts, or carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this Dyson
Operating Manual, or as advised by the Dyson Customer Care Helpline.

USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM CLEANER
PLEASE NOTE:
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
CAUTION:
•
•
Always extend the cable fully to the red tape before use.
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.
If used in a garage, 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.
•
•
•
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:
•
•
Clearing blockages is not covered by your vacuum cleaner’s limited guarantee.
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 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.
Do not operate the wand release catch.
•
•
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.
2
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.
1
•
Emptying inside a bag is recommended for all allergy sufferers
3
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.
Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.
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 and wash at least every 6 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.
Do not use detergents to clean the filter.
Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,
microwave or near a naked flame.
