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.  
Clean the shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.

DYSON 2 YEAR GUARANTEE  
TERMS AND CONDITIONS  
PLEASE NOTE:  
CAUTION:  
This vacuum cleaner has two filters, located as shown. It is important to check  
your filters and wash with cold water regularly or as required, according to  
instructions, to maintain performance.  
The filter in the ball should be rinsed and tapped out until the water runs clean,  
then tapped out again to ensure all excess water is removed. Please leave to dry  
completely for 24 hours.  
It is normal for the filter in the ball to turn grey in colour. The filters may require  
more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust.  
Do not use detergents to clean the filters.  
Do not put the filters in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,  
microwave or near a naked flame.  
Register for a filter wash reminder by email (Australia only);  
When returning to the upright position, ensure that the stabiliser wheels are fully  
engaged before releasing the cleaner.  
Do not press the cyclone release button while carrying the vacuum cleaner or it  
could fall and cause injury.  
Terms and conditions of your Dyson 2 year guarantee.  
The Dyson guarantee becomes effective from the date of purchase.  
All work will be carried out by Dyson Appliances (Aust) Pty Ltd., Avery Robinson  
Ltd. (NZ), Singapore’s authorised agent - Service @Home Pte Ltd., Indonesia’s  
authorised agent - PT Higienis Indonesia or their authorised agents.  
Any parts replaced will become the property of Dyson Appliances (Aust) Pty Ltd.,  
Avery Robinson Ltd. (NZ), Dyson Singapore Pte Ltd. or PT Higienis Indonesia.  
The repair and replacement of your Dyson vacuum cleaner under Dyson  
guarantee will not extend the Dyson guarantee period.  
PLEASE NOTE:  
Fine dust such as plaster 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 flooring, rugs and carpets. Some carpets will  
fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this is the case, we  
recommend vacuuming in hard floors mode and consulting with your flooring  
manufacturer. (Refer to carpets/hard floors section.)  
If used in a garage when cleaning the car, 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. 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 unless 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.  
Do not use any lubricants, cleaning agents, polishes or air fresheners on any  
part of the Dyson vacuum.  
This Dyson vacuum is fitted with a thermal cut-out. If any part of the Dyson  
vacuum becomes blocked the machine may overheat and automatically shut  
off. If this happens, switch off and unplug the Dyson vacuum and allow to cool  
before attempting to check filters or for blockages. Clear any blockages before  
restarting.
