USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
PLEASE READ THE ‘IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS’ IN THIS
DYSON OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
ASSE MBLY
• Lay the appliance on its back.
• Attach the cleaner head by sliding it on to the connections on the lower
front part of the ball. Ensure the electrical plug on the cleaner head fits
into the twin - block connection on the body of the appliance, which
is directly above the airway. Push firmly: the cleaner head will click
into place.
• Stand the appliance up straight.
• Attach the wand handle by sliding it on to the top of the
appliance. The spring clip in the handle will click into place.
• Ensure the hose is straight. Press the red button on the hose. Slide the
wand into the hose.
• Ensure the wand and hose sit in the recess of the handle. Slide the end of
the wand down into the handle to secure it.
• Slide the tool holder onto the side of the duct as shown.
• Attach the tools as shown. In use, the tools can be attached to either the
hose or the wand.
• Wind the cable around the cable hooks. Secure with the clip.
OPERATION
• Unwind the cable.
• Plug the appliance into the mains electricity supply.
• To switch ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ press the red power button, located as shown.
• To use, recline the handle. The stabiliser stand will automatically lift up.
• After use, return the appliance to the upright position, pushing it firmly
into place. The stabiliser wheels will automatically lower.
• Then unplug the appliance, coil the cable safely and put the
appliance away.
• Switch 'OFF' the appliance, unplug and ensure it is upright before:
– changing or using tools
– removing the hose or airway inspection parts.
• Use the cyclone carry handle to carry the appliance.
ATTACHMENTS
• To release the wand, open the wand cap and pull the red tube up and
away from the handle until it clicks into place.
• Should you wish to use the hose without the wand, follow the above
instruction and press the red button to release the wand from the hose.
CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS
• The brush bar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch
the appliance ‘ON’ and recline it for cleaning.
• The brush bar will not rotate when the appliance is upright.
• To switch the brush bar 'OFF' (e.g. for delicate rugs and delicate
flooring):
– switch the appliance ‘ON’
– recline the appliance
– 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’.
• 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 with the brush bar switched
'OFF' 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.
• Check the brush bar regularly and clear away any debris (such as
hair). Debris left on the brush bar may cause damage to flooring
when vacuuming.
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 Helpline.
• Only use parts recommended by Dyson. If you do not, this could
invalidate your warranty.
• Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 3˚C (37.4˚F).
Ensure the appliance is at room temperature before operating.
• Clean the appliance with a dry cloth only. 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
• Do not use without the clear bin and filters in place.
• Fine dirt such as 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 minimize any effect from this (small
static charge), do not put your hand or insert any object into the clear
bin unless you have first emptied it and cleaned it with a damp cloth (see
‘Cleaning the clear bin’).
• Do not work with the appliance above you on the stairs. When cleaning
stairs it is recommended that you use a tool on the end of the hose rather
than the wand.
• Do not put the appliance on chairs, tables, etc.
• Before vacuuming highly polished floors, such as wood or linoleum, first
check that the underside of the floor tool and its brushes are free from
foreign objects that could cause marking.
• Do not leave the cleaner head in one place on delicate floors.
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, press down on the red button
on the top of the carrying handle on the cyclone.
• To release the dirt, press all the way down on the same red button on the
top of the carrying handle on the cyclone.
• To minimize dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin
tightly in a dust proof bag and empty.
• Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.
• Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
• To refit:
– ensure the airway in the bin base is clear of dust and dirt
– close the clear bin base so it clicks into place
– push the cyclone and clear bin unit into the main body of the
appliance; it will click into place
– ensure the cyclone and clear bin unit is secure.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
To remove the cyclone unit from the clear bin press the red bin
release button. This exposes a small silver button behind the opening
mechanism. Press the silver button and separate the cyclone unit from
the clear bin.
• 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 damp cloth only.
• Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
WASHING YOUR FILTERS
• Your appliance has two washable filters, located as shown.
• Check and wash the filters regularly according to instructions to
maintain performance.
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before checking or removing the filters.
The filters may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.
• Wash with cold water only. Do not use detergents.
• Do not put any part of your appliance in a dishwasher, washing machine,
tumble dryer, oven, microwave or near a naked flame.
FILTER A
• Remove cyclone and clear bin (see 'Emptying the clear bin').
• Release the catch on the front of the cyclone handle and then remove
the filter.
• Wash the filter with cold water only. Hold under a tap and run water
through the open end until the water runs clear. Turn upside down and
tap out.
• Run water over the outside of the filter until the water runs clear.
• Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water
is removed.
• Stand the filter on its wide, open end to dry. Leave to dry completely for a
minimum of 24 hours.
• Replace the filter into the cyclone. Swing the handle back into place.
Ensure the latch clicks to engage and is secure. Fit the cyclone and clear
bin unit onto the appliance (instructions above).
