BLOCKAGES – THERMAL CUT-OUT
•
This appliance is fitted with an automatically resetting thermal cut-out.
•
Large items may block the tools or wand inlet. If any part becomes blocked the
appliance may overheat and automatically cut-out.
•
If this happens, follow the instructions below in ‘Looking for blockages’.
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
•
Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before looking for blockages. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury.
•
Leave to cool down for 1-2 hours before checking the filters or for blockages.
•
Clear any blockage before restarting.
•
Look for blockages in the wand, airways and cleaner head.
•
To release the hose from the machine, you will need to remove the wand.
•
Open the wand release cap.
•
Pull the wand up and away from the handle.
•
Press the red release button in the connecting collar and remove the wand from
the hose.
•
Remove the clear bin and cyclone unit. Then release the hose from the appliance
by pressing the red tab on the base of the hose – you can see it from the front of
the appliance.
•
Check for blockages in the hose.
•
Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
•
To refit the hose, align the guides on the base of the hose with the channels in
the neck of the airway. Ensure the red tab faces the front of the appliance. Push
the hose on. It will click into place. To refit the wand follow the instructions above
in the ‘Operation’ section.
•
To remove the base plate to access an obstruction, see ‘Base plate –
disassembly/reassembly’.
•
To look for blockages in the front airway between the ball and the cleaner
head you will need to remove the cleaner head: see ‘Base plate – disassembly/
reassembly’ below on how to do this.
•
To look for blockages in the rear airway between the ball and the cleaner
head you will need to release the elasticated rear connection. Pull the plastic
connector towards you to release from the upper airway. To replace it, pull it
a little way out on the horizontal so that it aligns with the upper airway. Gently
release it so it pulls itself back into place.
•
Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
•
Refit all parts securely before using.
•
Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.
BRUSH BAR – CLEARING OBSTRUCTIONS
•
If your brush bar is obstructed, it may shut ‘OFF’. If this happens, you will need
to remove the blockage.
•
Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before proceeding. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
•
Beware of sharp objects when clearing obstructions.
•
If you still cannot clear the obstruction, please follow the instructions below to
remove the base plate. This gives more access to the obstruction. Alternatively,
contact a Dyson expert on the Dyson Helpline or visit the website. Clearing
brush bar obstructions is not covered by your guarantee.
BASE PLATE – DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
•
Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before proceeding. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
•
Lay the appliance on its front.
•
There is a red latch on the connection between the ball and cleaner head. Slide
it towards the ball, supporting the appliance as you do so.
•
Pull the cleaner head away from the appliance. Use a constant, firm pressure.
•
At each end of the cleaner head there are two red levers:
– pivot the levers up and out towards the end of the cleaner head until they click
– swing the base plate open.
•
Beware of sharp objects when clearing obstructions.
•
To refit the base plate, hinge it closed.
•
To refit the base plate:
– fit the lugs on the lower edge of the base plate behind the lip on the base of
the cleaner head
– swing the base plate down, ensuring it fits correctly; it will click into place.
•
To secure the base plate pivot both levers back into position so they are flush
with the surface of the cleaner head.
•
Lay the appliance on its back.
•
Fit the cleaner head back onto the connections underneath the front part of the
ball. Slide the cleaner head up into the channels either side of the airway. Push
firmly: the cleaner head will click into place and the red latch will engage.

SELF-ADJUSTING CLEANER HEAD WITH
SUCTION CONTROL
•
This cleaner head is used for testing with the European Regulations: No.
665/2013 and No. 666/2013.
POWERFUL SUCTION
•
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.
MAXIMUM SUCTION
•
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 Maximum suction prevents easy maneuverability,
switch to Powerful suction mode.
– To switch back to Powerful suction mode, move the suction control slider back
to its original position, as shown.
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 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 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 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. When cleaning stairs it
is recommended that the handle is not extended and 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 lino, 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 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.
•
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
•
Remove the cyclone and clear bin (see ‘Emptying the clear bin’).
•
To separate the cyclone unit from the clear bin press the red button to open
the clear bin base. This exposes a small silver button behind the red opening
mechanism. Press the silver button (on its ribbed area) and separate the cyclone
unit from the clear bin.
•
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 whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.
•
Clean the cyclone shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove any lint and dust.
•
Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
•
To refit:
– fit the cyclone shroud into the clear bin so that the silver button clicks and
engages
– 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.
WASHING YOUR FILTERS
