1. Do not leave your Dyson cleaner with the plug

connected to a mains outlet – unplug when not in

use. Turn the cleaner off with the switch button

before removing from the mains outlet.

2. Always remove the plug from a mains outlet

before carrying out any maintenance. Do not

carry out any maintenance work on the cleaner

other than that outlined in this manual,

especially where electrical components are

concerned.

3. Do not use without the clear bin assembly fitted

correctly and both filters in place.

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.

14. Cleaners with brush bars may mark the surface

of smooth floors.

15. Ensure that hands, feet and fingers, particularly

those of small children, are kept away from the

cleaner and especially from the brush bar.

16. Please note that the brush bar continues to turn

while the hose is in use – ensure that the cable is

clear of the machine during this operation and

that the cleaner is not placed near anything

which may come into contact with the brushbar.

17. Do not use the cleaner directly facing gas fires,

boilers or open fires, whether lit or unlit. Exhaust

air discharged at the front of the cleaner may

extinguish a gas fire or pilot light or disturb

ashes in an open fire. Always avoid directing the

cleaner towards naked flames.

WHEN USING THE DYSON DCO1 VACUUM CLEANER PLEASE ADHERE TO THESE SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS.

BY DOING SO YOU WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR INJURY.

WARNING! For your own safety please

remember to unplug the machine when not

in use and before carrying out maintenance.

IMPORTANT Use only genuine Dyson filters.

S-Level

Check both electrostatic

filters whenever the bin is

emptied and replace at

least every 3 months.

Please note that if the filters are not checked regularly and changed

as required, the motor may overheat, which will cause the thermal

cut-out to operate.

NOTE: Vacuuming builder’s dust and some carpet fresheners may

cause the filters to require changing more frequently. (Dyson

does not recommend the use of carpet fresheners).

Replacement filters are available from your local retailer or

direct from Dyson. Call or fax the Helpline for orders.

IMPORTANT: Use only genuine Dyson filters, which

have been tested and approved for this cleaner.

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.

Unwanted products and the environment Should you find that your product needs

replacing one day, or is of no further use to you, think of protecting the environment. Dyson

will accept your old products and recycle them in an environmentally friendly way.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following codes.

Brown – Live

Blue – Neutral

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the colours or

markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with

the letter Nor coloured Black.

The wire that is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with

the letter Lor coloured Red.

Neither wire should be connected to the earth terminal of a three pin plug which is marked

with the letter Eor or coloured Green or Green and Yellow.

Always ensure that the cable clamp is fitted and that it clamps the cable outer and NOT

the coloured wires.

If the supply cord of the appliance is damaged, disconnect the appliance from the socket

outlet immediately. The supply cord must be replaced and only by Dyson Appliances Ltd.

or their appointed agent as special purpose tools and service techniques are required.
