IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
1 Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from electrical outlet when not
in use and before servicing.
2 Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids-
electric shock and personal injury could occur.
3 Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by
or near children.
4 Do not allow use by anyone unable to operate the vacuum properly.
5 Use only as described in this manual. Use only with Dyson recommended
attachments, accessories, and replacement parts.
6 Check to ensure your electricity supply corresponds to that shown on the rating
plate, which can be found behind the bin. The machine must only be used as
rated.
7 If the appliance is not functioning properly, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or immersed in liquid, contact the Dyson Helpline at 1-866-693-9766.
8 Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. Do not pull or carry by the cord; do not
use the cord as a handle; do not close a door on the cord or pull the cord around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run the machine over the cord. Keep the cord
away from heated surfaces and open flames.
9 Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
10 Do not handle the plug or appliance with wet hands.
11 Do not use the appliance without the clear bin and filters in place.
12 Do not put any object into openings in the machine. Do not use with any opening
blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.
13 Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings
in the machine and moving parts, such as the brushbar.
14 Do not use the machine to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper
clips etc., because they may damage the machine.
15 The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
16 Store the machine indoors. Put the vacuum cleaner away after use with the cord
coiled safely, to prevent tripping accidents.
17 Turn off all controls before unplugging.
18 Take extra care when cleaning on stairs; always work with the machine at the
bottom of the stairs. Keep vacuum on the floor. Do not put the machine on chairs,
tables etc.
19 Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches or hot ashes.
20
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline,
or use in areas where they may be present.
21
When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear
bin or wand. These are not associated with the 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 and rinsed it out with cold water.
22 Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this
manual or advised by the Dyson Helpline.
23 Consult your flooring manufacturer's recommended instructions before vacuuming
and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpets. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating
brushbar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in
bare floors mode and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
Polarization instructions
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Assembly
Ensure hose is straight when inserting wand.
Using your DC1 7
Caution
This machine is intended for domestic use only. Fine dust such as plaster dust or
flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
Do not press the cyclone release button while carrying the machine or it could fall
and cause injury.
Ensure the cyclone is secured to the machine.
Do not shake the machine while carrying or it could fall and cause injury.
Use machine in bare floors mode for bare or delicate flooring, rugs, and carpets.
Consult your flooring manufacturer's recommended instructions before vacuuming
and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpets. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating
brushbar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in
bare floors mode and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
Fingertip controls
The brushbar will re-set to "ON" each time you start the machine and put it in the
cleaning position.
To turn the brushbar off, put the machine in the cleaning position and press the
brushbar on/off button.
The brushbar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed.
If the brushbar stops during use, please refer to the blockages section.
Using tools
Ensure machine is in upright position before using tools.
To protect your floors, the brushbar will not rotate when the machine is in an
upright position.
Ensure hair and loose clothing are kept clear of wand cap when machine is
switched on.
Ensure wand cap is closed, unless using with tools.
Powerful suction can cause the hose to "pull back' - please take care when
cleaning stairs.
To avoid personal injury and to prevent the machine from falling when cleaning
stairs, always place it at the bottom of the stairs.
Do not use your vacuum cleaner outdoors or on wet surfaces. Vacuum may be
used inside a garage only 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
which could damage delicate floors.
