USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
PLEASE READ THE ‘IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS’ IN THIS DYSON
OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
CARRYING THE APPLIANCE
•
Carry the appliance by the main handle on the body.
•
Do not press the cyclone release button or shake the appliance when carrying
or the cyclone could disengage, fall off and cause injury.
OPERATION
•
Always extend the cable fully to the red tape before use.
•
Plug the appliance into the mains electricity supply.
•
To switch ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ press the red power button, located as shown.
•
After use: Unplug, push the cable retract button firmly until cable has
fully retracted.
•
Switch 'OFF' the appliance and unplug before:
– changing tools
– removing the hose.
DUAL MODE FLOOR TOOL WITH
SUCTION CONTROL
•
Your appliance has a Dual mode floor tool with suction control. This cleaner
head is used for testing with the European Regulations: No. 665/2013 and
No. 666/2013 and testing shall be performed in Max mode.
EASY MODE
Reduced push force for effortless cleaning.
•
For vacuuming of lightly soiled carpets, rugs and hard flooring.
•
Your appliance is pre-set to this level of suction when you take it out of the box.
MAX MODE
Maximum suction for powerful dust and dirt removal.
•
For vacuuming durable floor coverings, hard floors and heavily soiled carpets
and rugs.
•
To switch to this setting, move the suction control slider on top of the cleaner
head as shown.
•
CAUTION: The suction of this mode can damage delicate flooring. Before
vacuuming, check the flooring manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations.
•
If the suction power of Max mode prevents easy manoeuverability, switch to
Easy mode.
CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS
•
The brush bar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch the
machine ‘ON’.
•
To reduce the speed of the brush bar (e.g. for delicate flooring and delicate hard
floors), pull the suction release trigger on the handle.
•
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 pulling the suction release trigger to reduce brush
bar spin.
•
The brush bar on the machine may damage some carpet types and delicate
hard flooring. If you are unsure, pull the suction release trigger to reduce brush
bar spin. Alternatively, use a Dyson hard floor tool (available as an option).
•
This appliance has carbon fibre brushes. Take care if coming into contact with
them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after handling
the brushes.
•
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 guarantee.
•
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 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
•
Do not use without the clear bin and cyclone in place.
•
Do not use on rubble, ash or plaster. This appliance is designed only for
domestic use to remove household dirt, hair and allergens. The appliance
is not designed to be used on:
– debris produced from activities such as DIY, building or similar tasks
– larger types and quantities of dust or debris, such as soot and sawdust.
These materials may harm the appliance and may void your guarantee.
•
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 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’).
•
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.
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 red button on the top of the
carrying handle, as shown.
•
To release the dirt, firmly push the red bin release button.
– The bin will slide down, cleaning the shroud as it goes.
– The bin base will then open.
•
The bin base will not open if the red button is not pushed down fully.
•
To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in
a plastic bag and empty.
•
Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.
•
Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
•
Close the clear bin by pushing the bin base upwards until it clicks into place.
•
Push the bin base clip firmly until it clicks into position to ensure that the base is
securely sealed.
•
Align the base of the clear bin with the air hose inlet and then click back
into place.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN (OPTIONAL)
•
In the event that it is necessary to clean the clear bin:
•
Remove the cyclone and clear bin and push the red bin base release button.
•
Pull the silver catch behind the red bin release button and slide the clear bin off
the spine on the cyclone.
•
Clean the clear bin with cold water only.
•
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 cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.
•
Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
•
To refit the clear bin:
– Insert the spine into the bin runner
– Push upwards until it clicks and then continue pushing until it slides home.
•
Close the clear bin by pushing the bin base upwards. Ensure that the bin base
clicks and the clip is securely in place.

If this happens, follow the instructions below in ‘Looking for blockages’.
•
NOTE: Large items may block the tools or wand inlet. If this happens, do not
operate the wand release catch. Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury.
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
•
Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before looking for blockages. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury.
