motor protection thermostat to protect the appliance in the event of a restriction to airflow. Unplug cleaner. Leave for 30 minutes.

WHEN USING THE DYSON DC03 VACUUM CLEANER  
PLEASE ADHERE TO THESE SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS  
Important safety instructions  
P L E A S E R E A D C A R E F U L L Y B E F O R E U S E  
By doing so you will reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury.  
Check that your supply corresponds to that shown on the rating plate. The  
appliance must only be used as rated, and it should be fitted with an approved  
fuse to BS1362. This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug  
for your safety and convenience. A 13 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the  
fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating  
of 13 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA  
mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse. If the plug contains a removable  
fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose  
the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained.  
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local Dyson dealer.  
Do not leave the vacuum cleaner plugged into the mains socket outlet.  
Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning the  
appliance, and before maintenance operations.  
Ensure that hands, feet and fingers, particularly of small children are kept  
away from the cleaner and especially from the brushbar. If hanging the  
cleaner by the storage hook, ensure it is securely fixed and out of the way  
of children and pets. Never allow children to play with or use this appliance.  
Do not use without the bin assembly fitted correctly and both filters in place.  
Do not fit anything other than Dyson spare parts. This could invalidate your  
guarantee (Call the Dyson Helpline on 0990 275104).  
If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home then the  
fuse should be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of safely. There is a  
danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp  
socket.  
Do not carry out any maintenance work on the cleaner other than  
that outlined in this manual, especially where electrical components are  
concerned.  
If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in  
any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.  
Ensure that the brushbar is off when cleaning smooth floors to avoid  
marking. If carpet pilling occurs, either use the cleaner with brushbar on to  
remove, or contact the carpet retailer.  
IMPORTANT  
Static charges can occur in the clear bin when vacuuming certain carpets.  
These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the mains supply.  
To minimise any effect, 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. If wiping dust from the shroud, use a brush or a damp cloth.  
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:  
BLUE: Neutral  
BROWN: Live  
As the colours of the wire in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond  
with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as  
follows:  
1. The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug  
which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.  
Do not use the cleaner if the cable or plug are damaged or if the machine  
has been damaged, dropped or has come into contact with water or any  
other liquids. In these cases, contact the Dyson Helpline on 0990 275104.  
2. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the  
plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.  
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 an object that may restrict the air flow.  
Under no circumstances should either of these wires be connected to the earth  
terminal of the three pin plug, marked with the letter E or the Earth Symbol  
coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.  
or  
Do not damage the cable by running the cleaner head over it, closing a door  
on it or running it over sharp edges. Do not put the cable near or on hot  
surfaces. If the cable is damaged, call the Dyson Helpline.  
Always ensure that the cable clamp is fitted and that it clamps the cable outer and  
NOT the coloured wires.  
How to replace the fuse:  
Always stand above the machine when cleaning on the stairs.  
1. Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver.  
2. Replace the fuse and fuse cover if detachable.  
Do not, under any circumstances, use the cleaner to pick up water or any  
other liquid. Electrical shocks could occur if used outdoors or on wet surfaces.  
If the supply cable of the appliance is damaged, disconnect the appliance from the  
socket outlet immediately; the supply cable must be replaced. This should be carried  
out by Dyson Appliances Ltd only or its appointed agent, as special purpose tools  
and service techniques are required.  
Do not use the cleaner or handle the plug with wet hands.  
Do not use the machine to pick up flammable or combustible substances  
and do not use near such substances. Never pick up asbestos or asbestos  
dust or poisonous solids, such as copier toner.
