USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE
PLEASE READ THE ‘IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS’ IN THIS DYSON
OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
CARRYING THE APPLIANCE
• Carry the appliance by the main handle on the body.
• Do not press the cyclone release button or shake the appliance when carrying or
the cyclone could disengage, fall off and cause injury.
OPERATION
• Always extend the cable fully to the red tape before use.
• Plug the appliance into the mains electricity supply.
• To switch ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ press the red power button, located as shown.
• After use, unplug the appliance, retract the cable safely, and put the appliance
away.
• Switch ‘OFF’ the appliance and unplug before:

• To watch a short online video visit:
www.dyson.com.au/DC47gettingstarted
BRUSH BAR
• The brush bar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch the
appliance ‘ON’.
• To switch the brush bar ‘OFF’ (e.g for delicate flooring and delicate rugs) press
in the button on the cleaner head.
• To switch the brush bar ‘ON’, pull out the button on the cleaner head only
enough so the brush bar engages.
• Brush bar control can be done only when the appliance is on.
• The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. See ‘Brush bar –
clearing obstructions’ on pages 4 and 9.
• Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the
manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions.
• Some carpets may fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming.
If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in ‘hard floor’ mode and
consulting with the flooring manufacturer.
• The brush bar on the appliance may damage some carpet types. If you are
unsure, turn ‘OFF’ the brush bar.
• This product 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.
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 Customer Care Helpline.
• Only use parts recommended by Dyson. If you do not this could invalidate your
Dyson guarantee.
• Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 0°C. 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.
• If used in a garage, always wipe the base plate and ball with a dry cloth after
vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could damage delicate floors.
VACUUMING
CAUTION:
• Do not use without the clear bin and filters 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. 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 minimise 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. See the ‘Cleaning the clear bin’ section on pages 6 and 8 of
this Dyson Operating Manual.
• 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.
EMPTYING THE CLEAR BIN
• Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before emptying the clear bin.
• To remove the cyclone and clear bin unit, push the release button to the side of
the carrying handle, as shown. The carrying handle will be released.
• Remove the cyclone and clear bin unit.
• To release the dirt, press the red bin release button.
• To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in
a plastic bag and empty.
• Remove the clear bin carefully.
• Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
• Close the clear bin base so it clicks into place and is secure.
• Place the clear bin and cyclone unit into position on the front of the main body
of the appliance. The recess in the rim of the base of the clear bin must fit onto
the lug on the locator bracket.
• Push the carrying handle down so it clicks into place on the top of the clear bin
and cyclone unit. Ensure it is secure.
CLEANING THE CLEAR BIN
• Remove the cyclone and clear bin unit, and then open the bin base (see
‘Emptying the clear bin’ above).
• To separate the cyclone unit from the clear bin press the small silver button on
the cyclone. Separate the cyclone from the clear bin.

• Do not immerse the whole cyclone in water or pour water into the cyclones.

the clear bin onto the lug on the front of the cyclone; then push the rear of the
clear bin into place so the silver button engages and clicks into place.

bin’ above).

this Dyson Operating Manual.

maintain performance.

• Wash the filters with cold water only. Do not use detergents.
• Do not put the filters in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,
microwave or near a naked flame.
Filter A
• To access filter A, first remove the clear bin and cyclone unit (see ‘Emptying the
clear bin’ above). Lif t out the filter.

appliance (see ‘Emptying the clear bin’ above).
Filter B

clockwise until the cover is released. Lift off the cover.
• To lift out the filter, place your fingers under the two raised tabs. Lift out the
filter. Use a constant, firm pressure.
• Filter B should be rinsed in cold water only, inside and outside, and tapped out

removed. (Tap on the plastic rim, not the filter material.) Leave to dry completely
for 24 hours.

clockwise. When it starts to click it is locked.
IMPORTANT: After washing please leave for at least 24 hours to dry completely
before refitting.
