Looking for blockages

Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before looking for blockages. Be careful not to pull the ‘ON’ trigger. Do not operate while checking for blockages as doing so could result in personal injury. Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages. To gain access to blockages in the floor tool, remove the base plate by using a coin to loosen the screw marked with a padlock. If you cannot clear an obstruction you may need to remove the brush bars, please refer to the 'Washing the brush bars' section for instructions on how to do this. Remove the obstruction and replace the brush bars as shown in the 'Washing the brush bars' section. Ensure that the fastener is fully turned and the base plate and brush bars are secure before operating the appliance. This appliance has carbon fibre brushes. Take care if coming into contact with them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after handling the brushes. Refit all parts securely before using. Clearing blockages is not covered by your warranty.

Turn the cleaner head upside down so the underside of the cleaner head is facing you. Use a coin to turn the fastener one quarter anti-clockwise to the unlocked position. Rotate the end cap to the open position. Gently slide the large brush bar away from the cleaner head. Remove the end cap from the large brush bar. Lift out the small brush bar from the octagonal end and pull away from the cleaner head. Hold the brush bars under running water and gently rub to remove any lint or dirt. Stand both brush bars upright. Ensure the large brush bar is stood upright as shown. Leave to dry completely for a minimum of 24 hours. Before replacing, check that the brush bars are completely dry. Refit the small brush bar before the large one. Insert the round end of the small brush bar into place. Push down the octagonal end until it clicks into place. Reattach the end cap to the brush bar. Slide the large brush bar back onto the cleaner head, around the motor. The end cap should be in the open position as shown. Once in place, rotate the end cap back into the closed position. Close the fastener by turning a quarter turn clockwise. Ensure that the fastener is fully turned and the base plate and the brush bars are secure.

USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE

Diagnostics - main body Please read the 'Important Safety Instructions' in this Dyson Operating Manual before proceeding. When in use, trigger pressed: Operation

Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids – electric shock could occur. Ensure the appliance remains upright in use. Dirt and debris may be released if it is turned upside down. Do not operate while checking for blockages as doing so may result in personal injury. For domestic indoor and car use only.

CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS

Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer's recommended cleaning instructions. The brush bar on the appliance can damage certain carpet types and floors. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming without the motorized floor tool and consulting with your flooring manufacturer. Before vacuuming highly polished floors, such as wood or linoleum, first check that the underside of the floor tool and its brushes are free from foreign objects that could cause marking.

LOOKING AFTER YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE

Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline. Only use parts recommended by Dyson. If you do not this could invalidate your warranty. Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 3˚C (37.4˚F). Ensure the appliance is at room temperature before operating. Clean the appliance only with a dry cloth. Do not use any lubricants, cleaning agents, polishes or air fresheners on any part of the appliance. VACUUMING

Fast flashing blue: No power, temporary fault (e.g. check filter or for blockages). Use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type and ensure that the docking station is mounted securely. Ensure no pipe work (gas, water, air) or electrical cables, wires or ductwork are located directly behind the mounting area. The docking station must be mounted in accordance with regulations and applicable codes/standards (provincial and local laws may apply). Dyson recommends the use of protective clothing, eyeware and materials when installing the docking station. Do not use without the clear bin and filters in place. 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, do not put your hand or insert any object into the clear bin unless you have first emptied it. Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only. (See ‘Cleaning the clear bin’.) Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do not rest the appliance on chairs, tables, etc. Do not press down on the nozzle with excessive force when using the appliance as this may cause damage. Do not leave the cleaner head in one place on delicate floors. On waxed floors the movement of the cleaner head may create an uneven lustre. If this happens, wipe with a damp cloth, polish the area with wax, and wait for it to dry. Emptying the clear bin

Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill. Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before emptying the clear bin. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger. To make emptying the clear bin easier, it is advisable to remove the wand and floor tool. To release the dirt, push the red button by the clear bin: Press once to open the bin base. Press a second time to release the clear bin from the main body of the appliance. To minimize 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 base so it clicks into place and is secure. Cleaning the clear bin

Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before removing the clear bin. Be careful not to pull the ‘ON’ trigger. Remove the wand and floor tool. Push the red button by the clear bin: press once to open the bin base. Press a second time to release the clear bin from the main body of the appliance. Remove the clear bin carefully. Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only. Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin. Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher. Clean the cyclone shroud with the brush on the combination tool to remove lint and dust. Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing. To replace the clear bin, push the clear bin up and in to the main body of the appliance. It will click into place. Close the clear bin base so it clicks into place and is secure.

Your appliance has two washable filters; wash the filters at least once a month according to the following instructions to maintain performance. More frequent washing may be required where the user: vacuums fine dust, operates mainly in 'Powerful suction' mode, or uses the machine intensively.

Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before removing the filter. Be careful not to pull the ‘ON’ trigger. To remove the filter, lift it out of the top of the appliance. Check and wash the filter regularly according to instructions to maintain performance. The filter may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust or if used mainly in ‘POWERFUL SUCTION’ mode. Wash the filter with cold water only. Run water over the outside of the filter until the water runs clear. Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed. Lay the filter on its side to dry. Leave to dry completely for a minimum of 24 hours. Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave or near an open flame. To refit, place the dry filter back into the top of the appliance. Make sure it is seated properly. To watch a short online video, visit: www.dysoncanada.ca/sv09filterwash

To remove the filter, twist anti clockwise to the open position and pull away from the appliance. Wash the inside of the filter under cold running water, rotating the filter to ensure all pleats are covered. Gently tap the filter against the side of the sink several times to remove any debris. Repeat this process 4-5 times until the filter is clean. Place the filter upright, with the Max button facing upwards, and leave to dry completely for a minimum of 24 hours. To refit, return the filter to the open position and twist clockwise until it clicks into place. To watch a short online video, visit: www.dysoncanada.ca/sv09filterwash Battery safety instructions

This appliance is fitted with an automatic cut-out. If any part becomes blocked the appliance may automatically cut out. This will happen after the motor pulses a number of times (i.e switches on and off in quick succession). Leave to cool down before looking for blockages.
