4. Do not fit anything other than Dyson spare parts (available on the Helpline on 01666 827272). Use of non-Dyson parts could invalidate your guarantee. 5. Do not continue to use the cleaner if any part appears to be faulty, missing or damaged. In these cases, contact the Dyson Helpline on 01666 827272. 6. Do not put any part of the body, clothes or any object near or into the openings or moving parts of the machine. Do not use the machine with any of the openings blocked with any object that may restrict the airflow. 7. Do not pull on the supply cord, run over it or pull it around sharp edges or near/over hot surfaces. If damaged, call the Dyson Helpline. Do not handle the cleaner or plug with wet hands. 8. Do not use the cleaner if the cord or plug are damaged or if the cleaner has been damaged, dropped or has come into contact with water or any other liquid. In these cases, contact the Helpline. 9. Do not use the cleaner to pick up water or any other liquid. Electrical shocks could occur if used outdoors or on wet surfaces. 10. Do not use the cleaner to pick up flammable or combustible substances or hot ashes or burning objects of any kind. Do not use near such substances. 11. Do not work below the cleaner on the stairs. 12. Do not immerse the whole cleaner in water for cleaning. The clear bin alone may be washed out after emptying. Ensure this is completely dry before using the cleaner again. 13. Static charge can occur in many ways and, 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 and rinsed out the clear bin with water. - - Operating manual D YSON CUST OMER CARE TETBURY HILL MALMESBURY WILTSHIRE ENGLAND SN16 ORP D YSON CUST OMER CARE TETBURY HILL MALMESBURY WILTSHIRE ENGLAND SN16 ORP High efficiency H-level filters both filters at least y 3 months Standard S-level filter Always replace filter at least every 3 months Helpline 01666 827272 Facsimile 01666 827298 Contact for all service assistance Helpline 01666 827272 Facsimile 01666 827298 Contact for all service assistance Important Your Dyson has a built-in thermal cut- out to protect it in the event of a restriction to the airflow and may suddenly stop working temporarily if you do not change the filters at the stated time, or if blockages are not cleared immediately. If the vacuum cleaner suddenly stops working (ie. the motor makes no sound when switched on) then please check your cleaner for blockages as detailed in this operating manual. (Remember also to check the fuse in the plug). Having established that there are no blockages and that the filters have been replaced within the stated time, leave your vacuum cleaner unplugged for 60 minutes and then try using it again. If the vacuum cleaner still does not work, please call Dyson Customer Care (Tel: 01666 827272). Check that your supply corresponds to that shown on the rating plate. The appliance must only be used as rated, it should be fitted with an ASTA approved fuse to BS1362. European conformity information A sample of this product has been tested and found to be in conformity with the following European Directives: 73/23/EEC Low voltage (safety) Directive, 93/68/EEC CE Marketing Directive and 89/336/EEC EMC Directive. For your convenience this appliance is supplied with a plug which is fitted with a 13amp fuse of the appropriate rating. Never put the plug into the socket outlet without the fuse cover fitted. Replacement fuse covers are available from Dyson Customer Care. If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be cut off and destroyed/safely disposed of. Warning: Under no circumstances should the severed plug be inserted into a 13A socket, serious danger of electric shock would result from the exposed wires. The mains lead can then be shortened to the minimum required length, suitably prepared and the correct style of plug to suit your household wiring system should be fitted. The following wiring instructions should be followed. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
