ASSEMBLY
OPERATION
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 floors):
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 manufacturers
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.
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
yourguarantee.
Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 0C (32F). 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, ball and stabiliser wheels 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 filters in place.
Fine dirt such as plaster dust or flour should only be vacuumed in very
smallamounts.
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).
Powerful suction can cause the hose to pull back please take care.
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.
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.

the hose on. It will click into place. To refit the wand follow the instructions above
in the Operation section.

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.
