DOCKING STATION INSTALLATION
•
Use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type and ensure
that the docking station is mounted securely. Ensure no pipe work
(gas, water, air) or electrical cables, wires or ductwork are located
directly behind the mounting area. The docking station must be
mounted in accordance with regulations and applicable codes/
standards (state and local laws may apply). Dyson recommends the
use of protective clothing, eyeware and materials when installing the
docking station.
CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS
•
Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the
manufacturer's recommended cleaning instructions.
•
The brush bar on the machine can damage certain carpet types and
floors. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when
vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming without the
motorised floor tool and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
•
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.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR DYSON MACHINE
•
Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that
shown and described in this Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by
the Dyson Helpline.
•
Only use parts recommended by Dyson. If you do not this may
invalidate your warranty.
•
Store the machine indoors. Do not use or store it below 37.4°F (3°C).
Ensure the machine is at room temperature before operating.
•
Clean the machine only with a dry cloth. Do not use any lubricants,
cleaning agents, polishes or air fresheners on any part of
the machine.
VACUUMING
•
Do not use without the clear bin and filter in place.
•
Fine dirt such as flour should only be vacuumed in very
small amounts.
•
Do not use the machine to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys,
pins, paper clips, etc. They may damage the machine.
•
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. Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only. (See
‘Cleaning the clear bin’.)
•
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
•
Do not rest the machine on chairs, tables, etc.
•
Do not press down on the nozzle with excessive force when using the
machine 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 luster. 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.
•
Ensure the machine is disconnected from the charger before emptying
the clear bin. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
•
To make emptying the clear bin easier, it is advisable to remove the
wand and floor tool.
•
To release the dirt, push the red button by the clear bin. Press once to
open the bin base. Press a second time to release the clear bin from
the main body of the machine.
•
To minimize 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 base so it clicks into place and is secure.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
•
Ensure the machine is disconnected from the charger before removing
the clear bin. Be careful not to pull the ‘ON’ trigger.

The filter may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust
or if used mainly in ‘POWERFUL SUCTION’ mode.
•
Wash the filter with cold water only.
•
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.

Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer,
oven, microwave or near an open flame.

bar. Use a coin to unlock the fastener marked with a padlock. Remove
the obstruction. Replace the brush bar and secure it by tightening the
fastener. Ensure it is fixed firmly before operating the machine.
