Pre-installation planning
The machine is designed for a dry, internal
location only.
Conformity and compliance is the
responsibility of the installer. Consult
local and national accessibility
codes and regulations for relevant
installation guidelines.
Install the machine in compliance with all
building codes and/or regulations.
Isolate the power supply before installation
or service.
Make sure that no pipework (gas, water,
air) or electrical cables, wires or ductwork
are located directly behind the drilling/
mounting area.
Select a location that will allow accessibility
to the machine and proper clearance from
surroundings and floor.
Make sure that there are no obstructions
between the machine and the floor and at
least 210mm above for filter removal.
Dyson recommends the use of protective
clothing, eye wear and materials when
installing/repairing as necessary.

Wall fixing requirements
Do not fix to unsupported plasterboard
(drywall) as this will not provide a safe and
secure installation for the machine and may
also invalidate the guarantee.
Where only unsupported plasterboard is
available for installation, a Dyson backplate
must be used. Contact the Dyson Helpline for
further information.
If the wall has an airgap, the fixings used
must be of a sufficient length to provide a
secure installation.
Don't use sealant when fixing the machine to
the wall.

Drill the mounting holes
Select the installation location and
appropriate height.
Recommended mounting heights are
shown on the Mounting template. It may be
necessary to adjust the measurements for
individual installations.
Fix the supplied Mounting template to the wall
in the correct location.
Rear cable entry installation: the electricity
supply cable must align from the wall to the
entry point on the Mounting template.
Side cable entry installation: an additional
hole will need drilling. Refer to the Mounting
template for location.
Drill the holes, where marked, using a
suitable drill bit.
Fig. 2
For rear cable entry
installation
Unscrew and remove the cable clamp,
terminal block and terminal block holder
from the backplate. Loosen all three screws
on the terminal block, ensuring the pre-
installed earth wire remains in place.
Cut the gland smaller than the diameter of
the cable and feed the cable through the
conduit box and gland. Don't remove the
gland from the backplate.
Using suitable fixings (not countersunk
screws), fix the backplate to the wall.
Make sure that the cable sits securely in the
cable guide. Any part of the cable not seated
securely may prevent the machine from being
fixed properly onto the backplate.
Secure the live, neutral and earth wires to
the appropriate terminal block locations, as
indicated on the backplate. Ensure the pre-
installed earth wire remains securely inserted
into the connector block.
Secure the terminal block to the backplate
with the terminal block holder and secure the
cable clamp.
Only clamp double insulated cables with the
cable clamp.
Don't overtighten any of the electrical fixtures.
