BRUSH BAR
•
The brush bar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch the
appliance ‘ON’.
•
To switch the brush bar off (e.g. for hard floors)
– Switch the machine ‘ON’.
– Press the brush bar ‘ON/OFF’ button – the brush bar will stop spinning.
•
The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. See ‘Brush bar –
clearing obstructions’ on pages 4 and 7.
•
Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer’s
recommended cleaning instructions.
•
Some carpets may fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming.
If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in ‘hard floor’ mode and
consulting with the flooring manufacturer.
•
The brush bar on the appliance may damage some carpet types. If you are
unsure, turn ‘OFF’ the brush bar.
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 Customer Care Helpline.
•
Only use parts recommended by Dyson. If you do not this could invalidate your
Dyson guarantee.
•
Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 0°C. 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.
•
If used in a garage, always wipe the base plate and ball with a dry cloth after
vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could damage
delicate floors.
VACUUMING
CAUTION:
•
Do not use without the clear bin and filter in place.
•
Fine dust such as plaster dust or 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 and rinsed it
out with cold water. See ‘Cleaning the clear bin’ section on pages 6 and 7 of this
Dyson Operating Manual.
•
Powerful suction can cause the hose to ‘pull back’ – please take care.
•
Do not work with the appliance above you on the stairs.
•
Do not put the appliance on chairs, tables, etc.
•
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.
•
Do not push hard with the floor tool when vacuuming, 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.
•
Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before emptying the clear bin.
•
To remove the cyclone and clear bin unit, push the release button to the side of
the carrying handle, as shown.
•
To release the dirt, press the red bin release button.
•
To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in
a plastic bag and empty.
•
Remove the clear bin carefully.
•
Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
•
To remove the cyclone and clear bin unit, push the release button to the side of
the carrying handle, as shown.
•
To separate the cyclone unit from the clear bin press the red bin release button
to open the bin base. This exposes a small silver button behind the red opening
mechanism. Press the silver button and separate the cyclone unit from the
clear bin.
•
Clean the clear bin with cold water only.
•
Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
•
Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
•
Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.
•
Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.
•
Clean the cyclone shroud with a dry cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.
WASHING YOUR FILTER
•
Your appliance has one washable filter, located as shown on page 6 of this
Dyson Operating Manual.
•
Check and wash the filter regularly or as required according to instructions to
maintain performance.
•
Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before checking or removing the filter.
•
Wash the filter with cold water only. Do not use detergents. Hold under a tap
and run water through the open end. Turn upside down and tap out.
•
Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.
•
Run water over the outside of the filter.
•
Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.

Place the filter on its side to dry completely.
•
Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,
microwave or near a naked flame.

before refitting.
