Before using the DYSON DC39, read all instructions and cautionary markings. Basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

1. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons with reduced physical, sensory or reasoning capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

2. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near young children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

3. Use only as described in this Dyson Operating Manual. Any other use may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

4. Suitable for dry locations only. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

5. Do not handle any part of the plug or appliance with wet hands.

6. Do not use with a damaged cable or plug. If the supply cable is damaged it must be replaced by a qualified person to avoid a hazard.

7. If the appliance is not working as it should, has received a sharp blow, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, do not use it.

8. Do not disassemble the appliance as incorrect reassembly may result in an electric shock or fire.

9. Do not stretch the cable or place the cable under strain. Keep the cable away from heated surfaces. Do not close a door on the cable, or pull the cable around sharp edges or corners. Arrange the cable away from traffic areas.

10. Do not unplug by pulling on the cable. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cable.

11. Do not use to pick up water.

12. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as petrol, or use in areas where they or their vapours may be present.

14. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts. Do not point the hose, wand or tools at your eyes or ears or put them in your mouth.

15. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.

17. To avoid a tripping hazard, rewind the cable when not in use.

18. Do not use without the clear bin and filter in place.

19. Do not leave the appliance when plugged in. Unplug when not in use and before servicing.

5. Always switch ‘OFF’ the appliance and unplug before changing or using tools, or removing the hose or airway inspection parts.

Carrying:

Carry the appliance by the main handle on the body. Do not press the cyclone release button or shake the appliance when carrying, as the cyclone could disengage, fall off, and cause injury.

Storage:

Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 0°C (32°F). Ensure the appliance is at room temperature before operating. For compact storage, the wand can be clipped onto the main body and the hose can be wrapped around the machine.

1. Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.

2. Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the appliance before emptying the clear bin.

3. To remove the cyclone and clear bin unit, push the release button located on the side of the carrying handle.

4. To release the dirt, press the red bin release button over a dustbin.

5. To minimize dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in a plastic bag and then press the release button to empty the contents into the bag.

6. Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag, then seal the bag tightly and dispose of it as normal.

1. Remove the cyclone and clear bin unit by pushing the release button on the carrying handle.

2. To separate the cyclone unit from the clear bin, press the red bin release button to open the bin base. This exposes a small silver button behind the red opening mechanism.

3. Press the silver button to separate the cyclone unit from the clear bin.

4. Clean the clear bin with cold water only. Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners. Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.

5. Ensure the clear bin is completely dry before replacing.

6. Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones. Clean the cyclone shroud with a dry cloth or dry brush to remove lint and dust.

Your appliance has one washable filter. Check and wash the filter regularly or as required to maintain performance.

1. Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the appliance before checking or removing the filter.

2. Wash the filter with cold water only. Do not use detergents.

3. Hold the filter under a tap and run water through the open end. Then, turn it upside down and tap out excess water.

4. Squeeze and twist the filter with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.

5. Run water over the outside of the filter, then squeeze and twist again to remove excess water.

6. Place the filter on its side to dry completely. Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave, or near a naked flame.

IMPORTANT: After washing, please leave the filter for at least 24 hours to dry completely before refitting.

CAUTION:

• Do not use without the clear bin and filter in place.

• Fine dust such as plaster dust or 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., as they may cause damage.

• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear bin. These are harmless. To minimise any effect, 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.

• Powerful suction can cause the hose to ‘pull back’ – please take care.

• Do not work with the appliance above you on the stairs.

• Do not put the appliance on chairs, tables, etc.

• Before vacuuming highly polished floors, such as wood or lino, first check that the underside of the floor tool and its brushes are free from foreign objects that could cause marking.

• Do not push hard with the floor tool when vacuuming, as this may cause damage.

• Do not leave the cleaner head in one place on delicate floors during use.

• 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.

1. Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the appliance before looking for blockages. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

2. Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.

3. Check the wand, hose, and floor tool for obstructions.

4. To access the flexible inspection hose beneath the clear bin, first remove the clear bin from the appliance.

5. Unscrew the two Phillips screws on the clear bin locator bracket. Remove the bracket.

6. Firmly twist the top of the flexible inspection hose away from the inlet next to the ball (do not remove the end next to the connection for the main hose).

7. Inspect for blockages and clear any you find.

8. Reassemble all parts in reverse order, ensuring they are securely fitted before using.

The DYSON DC39 is fitted with an automatically resetting thermal cut-out. If a part becomes blocked by large items, the appliance may overheat and automatically shut down to prevent damage.

If this happens, follow these steps:

1. Switch ‘OFF’ the appliance and unplug it from the power outlet.

2. Leave it to cool down for 1-2 hours.

3. During the cooling period, check the filter and look for blockages as instructed in the manual.

4. Clear any blockage before restarting the appliance.
