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 bin
TM. We recommend the manufacturers
emptying instructions should be strictly followed.
Assessment carried out by BAF indicate that an individuals exposure 
can be reduced but this does not mean that an individuals allergic
symptoms will necessarily diminish. BAFs 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.

to that shown on the rating plate. The appli-
ance must only be used as rated.
•If the supply cable of the appliance is 
damaged, disconnect the appliance from
the socket outlet immediately. The supply
cable must be replaced only by Dyson Ltd.
or their appointed agent, as special 
purpose tools and service techniques are
required.
•Do not use the cleaner if the cable 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.

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.

appears to be faulty, missing or damaged.
