ASSEMBLY
•
Stand the vacuum up straight and slide the hose into guides at the back of the vacuum and click into place.
•
Ensure the hose is straight and slide the wand straight down into the hose until it clicks into place.
•
Click the wand handle into the top of the vacuum.
•
Attach the tools to the vacuum and wind the cord counter-clockwise around cord hooks and secure with clip.
USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM
Unwind the cord and insert the plug into a suitable outlet.
Hold the cleaner head down with your foot and pull the handle downwards.
To switch 'ON' or 'OFF' press the power button in front of the handle.
CAUTION:
•
Do not allow the vacuum to be used by anyone who may not be able to operate it safely.
•
The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
•
Always switch off and unplug before performing maintenance on your vacuum.
•
When returning to the upright position, ensure that the wand and clear bin assembly are fully upright before releasing the
vacuum.
•
Ensure the cyclone is secured to the vacuum. Do not press the cyclone release button or shake the vacuum while carrying or it
could fall and cause injury.
•
Store the vacuum indoors. Put the vacuum away after use with the cord coiled safely, to prevent tripping hazards.
•
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids – electric shock could occur.
•
Do not lubricate any parts, or carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this manual, or advised by the
Dyson Helpline.
PLEASE NOTE:
•
This vacuum is intended for household use only.
•
Fine dust such as plaster dust or flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
•
Do not use the vacuum to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper clips, etc. They may damage the vacuum.
•
The vacuum may be used inside a garage only when used with the Model 08909 Dyson Car Cleaning Kit accessories.
•
If used in a garage, care should be taken to wipe the soleplate and wheels with a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand,
dirt, or pebbles that could damage delicate floors.
•
Consult your flooring manufacturer's recommended instructions before vacuuming and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpet.
The brushbar on the machine can damage certain carpet types. If unsure, turn brushbar off in order to enable proper operation.
Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in bare floors
mode and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
•
When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear bin. These are entirely harmless and are not
associated with the mains 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 'Clear bin cleaning' section).
•
Do not use or store this machine below 32°F (0°C). Ensure that the machine is at room temperature before operating.
CARPETS/HARD FLOORS
The brush bar will always default to 'ON' (spinning) each time you switch on the vacuum and recline it for cleaning. The brush
bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. If the brush bar stops during use, please refer to the 'Clearing brush bar
obstructions' section.
To switch the brush bar 'OFF' (e.g. for hard floors), recline the vacuum and turn it 'ON', then press the brush bar 'ON/OFF'
button – the brush bar will stop spinning.
HIGH-REACH CLEANING
CAUTION:
•
Switch 'OFF' the vacuum before changing tools.
•
Powerful suction can cause the hose to 'pull back' – please take care.
•
Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs; do not work with the vacuum above you on the stairs. Do not put the vacuum on chairs,
tables etc.
•
Ensure the vacuum is in upright position before using tools.
PLEASE NOTE:
•
To release the wand, open the wand cap and pull the red tube until the wand releases from the vacuum. Tools can be attached to
either the hose or wand.
•
The brush bar will not rotate when the vacuum is in an upright position.
•
Ensure wand cap is closed when not in use.
CLEAR BIN EMPTYING
CAUTION:
•
Switch 'OFF' the vacuum and unplug before emptying the clear bin.
PLEASE NOTE:
•
Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
•
To remove the clear bin from the vacuum, press the red button at the rear of cyclone carrying handle.
To release the dirt, press the red bin release button.
•
Do not use the vacuum without the clear bin in place.
•
Emptying into a bag is recommended for allergy sufferers.
CLEAR BIN CLEANING
CAUTION:
•
Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.
•
Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.
PLEASE NOTE:
•
Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin.
•
Do not put clear bin in a dishwasher.
WASHING YOUR FILTERS
DO THIS EVERY 3 MONTHS

•
Ensure filters are completely dry before refitting to the vacuum.
PLEASE NOTE:

according to instructions, to maintain performance.
•
After washing please leave for 24 hours to dry completely.

Do not use detergents to clean the filters.
•
Do not put the filters in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave or near an open flame.
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
CAUTION:
•

•
Please ensure the vacuum is upright and switched off before removing hose or airway inspection parts.
•
Beware of sharp objects when clearing blockages.
•
