Zorb carpet-cleaning powder
(750g)*
Millions of tiny sponges absorb
dirt from the carpet, keeping
new carpets looking new with
none of the drawbacks of wet
cleaning.
•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 it and rinsed it out with
cold water.
•Do not continue to use the cleaner
if any part appears to be faulty,
missing or damaged.
•Do not carry out any maintenance
work other than that shown in this
manual or advised by the Helpline
and do not put anything into the
openings or moving parts of the
machine.
•Only use parts produced or
recommended by Dyson; failure
to do so could invalidate your
guarantee.

The British Allergy Foundation considers that this product may in
proper use reduce exposure to both House Dust Mite (Der p 1) and
Cat Allergen (Fel d 1). It is strongly recommended that a sensitive
person should take care when emptying the clear binTM.
We recommend the manufacturers' emptying instructions should
be strictly followed.
Assessment carried out by BAF indicate that an individual's
exposure can be reduced but this does not mean that an
individual's allergic symptoms will necessarily diminish. BAF's
opinion applies only to the products and allergen stated. The
product should be used only for its intended purpose and strictly in
accordance with the manufacturers' instructions at all times.
Exposure to allergen can be dangerous. If you believe that you
may suffer from an allergy you should seek medical advice.
The British Allergy Foundation is a national charity (Charity Reg.
No. 1003726) founded in 1991 with the aim of improving
awareness, prevention and treatment of allergy.
The Foundation continually strives to help sufferers to help
themselves, often seeking to avoid or reduce exposure to
relevant allergens. The Seal of Approval scheme forms a part of
this initiative.
