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.
• 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.
Self-adjusting cleaner head with
suction control
• Your appliance has a 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 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 (-).
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 minimize any
effect from this small static charge, do not put your hand or insert
any object into the clear bin unless you have emptied it first, then
cleaned it with a damp cloth (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.
Blockages – thermal cut-out
• This appliance is fitted with an automatically resetting thermal
cut-out.
• If any part becomes blocked the appliance may overheat and
automatically cut-out.
• If this happens, follow the instructions 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.
• Leave to cool down for 1-2 hours before looking for blockages.
• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
• Clear any blockage before restarting.
• Refit all parts securely before using.
• Please refer to 'Looking for blockages' illustrations or 'Online
support' section for additional guidance.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.
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.
