USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM CLEANER
PLEASE NOTE:
Always extend the cable fully to the red tape before use.
Fine dust such as plaster dust or flour should only be vacuumed in very
small amounts.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up sharp hard objects, such as small toys,
pins, paper clips etc.
Consult your flooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before
vacuuming and caring for your floorings, rugs and carpets. Some carpets will
fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens,
we recommend vacuuming in hard floors mode and consulting with your
flooring manufacturer.
If used in a garage for car cleaning, care should be taken to wipe the soleplate
and wheels with a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt or
pebbles which could damage delicate floors.
When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the
clear bin
TM
. These are entirely harmless and not associated with the main supply.
To minimise any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object into
the clear bin
TM
unless you have you have emptied it and rinsed it out with
cold water.
Only use parts recommended by Dyson; failure to do so could invalidate
your guarantee.
EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN
