Caring for your floors
Check that the underside of the cleaner head or tool is clean and free from
any objects that may cause damage. Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs, and
carpets, check the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions. The brush
bar on your machine can damage certain carpet types and floors. Some carpets
will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we
recommend vacuuming without the motorised floor tool and consulting with your
flooring manufacturer.
Charging your machine
It’s important to fully charge your new machine before using it for the first
time, and after every clean. This is because the battery and monitoring
system’s algorithm `learns’ over time, and fully charging your machine helps
it to more accurately calculate and display remaining run time.
Connect to the charger either directly or in the dock. The blue LEDs on either
side of the battery will flash during charging. When the battery is fully
charged, both LEDs will light for 5 seconds. Your battery is fully charged
when the display shows 100%. Your machine won’t operate or charge if the
ambient temperature is below 5°C (41°F). This is designed to protect both the
motor and battery.
Changing your click-in battery
If you have additional click-in batteries, we recommend that you alternate the
batteries to maintain even performance.
Removing your battery Push the battery release button on the handle and slide
the battery off your machine. Charge the battery. Refitting your battery Align
your battery with the handle and slide it in. Push firmly until it clicks into
place.
Emptying your bin
Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the MAX level don’t overfill. Using your
machine when the dirt is above the MAX line may affect the performance and
require more frequent filter washing.
Remove your wand Press the red wand release button, on the top of the wand,
and pull the wand away from the bin.
Release the dirt Hold the machine over the bin, pointing downwards. Firmly
push the red bin release button. The bin will slide down, cleaning the shroud
as it goes, and the bin base will open. The bin base won’t open if the red bin
release button isn’t pushed down all the way.
Minimise dust contact Cover your bin tightly in a dust proof bag while you
empty. Remove your bin carefully, seal the bag tightly and dispose.
Close the bin Push the bin base upwards until your bin and bin base click into
place.
Cleaning your bin
Remove your bin If it is necessary to clean your bin, empty it as shown in the
`Emptying your bin’ section. Press the red button located on the bin runner to
release the bin and slide your bin off the runner. Only use a damp, lint-free
cloth to clean your bin. Make sure that your bin and seals are completely dry
before replacing.
Refit your bin Insert the spine on to the bin runner. Close your bin by
pushing the bin base upwards until the bin and bin base click into place. Your
bin isn’t dishwasher safe and the use of detergents, polishes or air
fresheners to clean your bin isn’t recommended, as it may damage your machine.
Clearing blockages
Disconnect your machine from the charger before looking for blockages. Leave
your machine to cool down before looking for blockages. Don’t use your machine
when looking for blockages as this could cause injury. If your machine detects
a blockage, the motor will pulse and you won’t be able to use your machine
until the blockage has been cleared. If you try to use your machine when the
motor is pulsing, it will automatically cut out.
Check the main body Remove the bin and check for blockages in the main body of
your machine. Make sure any blockages are completely cleared and all parts are
fitted before using your machine.
Check the wand and cleaner head Check the wand for blockages. Check your
cleaner head for blockages, following the instructions to remove the brush
bar, where necessary.
Reassemble your machine Refit all parts securely before using your machine.
Clearing blockages isn’t covered by your guarantee.
Clearing blockages from your Hair screw tool
Your Hair screw tool doesn’t have a washable brush bar. To maintain optimum
performance, check your brush bar regularly and clear any obstructions.
Remove the cover and brush bar Remove the Hair screw tool from the wand or
machine. Push the base plate open. Press the red lever down to release the
cleaner head cover. Pull the cleaner head cover off the main body of the tool.
Look for obstructions Pull your brush bar firmly to remove it from the main
body. Check and remove any obstructions from all three parts of your Hair
screw tool. Your Hair screw tool isn’t washable. Wipe over with a damp lint-
free cloth. Don’t put any part of your machine in a dishwasher or use
detergents, polishes or air fresheners.
Reassemble Hair screw tool Put your brush bar back into position and press
firmly until it clicks back into position. Check the red locking lever is in
the unlocked position. Align the cleaner head cover with the guide on the main
body. Push it down until it clicks into position. Push the red locking lever
up until it clicks into position and push the base plate back into place.
Washing your filter
Wash your filter at least once a month to maintain optimum suction power. For
more information and support videos for your machine go online to the Dyson
website.
Twist off your filter Twist your filter anti-clockwise and pull it away from
your machine.
Tap your filter Before washing your filter, tap it gently over a bin to remove
any loose dust and debris.
Wash your filter Wash with warm, running tap water gently rubbing your
filter with your fingers to remove the dirt.
Fill and shake Place your hand over one end of your filter. Fill the filter
with warm tap water. Place your hand over the open end of the filter and shake
it firmly to remove trapped dirt and debris. Repeat these steps until the
water runs clear.
Shake and dry Empty the filter and shake firmly to remove excess water. Keep
shaking until there’s no water coming from the filter. Place your filter end
up, as shown. Place the filter on its end and leave to dry for at least 24
hours in a well ventilated, warm place. Don’t dry your filter in a tumble
dryer, microwave or near a naked flame. Important: your filter must be
completely dry before you put it back into the machine. Your machine could be
damaged if used with a damp filter.
Washing your brush bar
To maintain optimum performance, check and wash your brush bar regularly. Make
sure your machine is disconnected from the charger.
Remove your brush bar Don’t put any part of your machine in a dishwasher or
use detergents, polishes or air fresheners. Press the cleaner head release
button on the end of the wand. Place the cleaner head upside down. Push the
end cap up fully and pull the brush bar out of the cleaner head. Remove the
end cap from the brush bar. Don’t wash the end cap. Slide your brush bar out
of the cleaner head.
Wash and dry your brush bar Hold your brush bar under running water and gently
rub to remove any lint or dirt. Stand your brush bar upright as shown. Leave
to dry completely for at least 24 hours.
Replace your brush bar Before replacing, check that your brush bar is
completely dry. Reattach the end cap to your brush bar. Slide your brush bar
into the cleaner head. Push the end cap back down to the closed position. The
cleaner head housing is not washable and should only be wiped over with a damp
lint-free cloth.

Scratch-free dusting brush
Compatible with Dyson V15 DetectTM, Dyson V12 Detect SlimTM, Dyson V12 Origin,
Dyson OutsizeTM, Dyson V11TM, Dyson Cyclone V10TM, Dyson V8TM, Dyson V7TMand
Dyson Digital SlimTMcordless vacuums.
Step 1 Attach the Scratch-free dusting brush directly to your vacuum or to the
extension hose for delicate cleaning.
Step 2 Switch on your vacuum with the extension hose, hold the vacuum with one
hand and the Scratch-free dusting brush with your other, using a pencil-like
grip.
Note: Don’t press the Scratch-free dusting brush too hard against surfaces.
The ultra-soft bristles should be the only part of the tool that contacts
surfaces.
Self-cleaning Step 1 When you notice dust starting to build up on the bristles
during or after use, we recommend you use the built-in self-cleaning function.
Step 2 With your vacuum switched on, lift the Cleaning cuff until you hear a
click, so it completely covers the bristles. Rotate it five times. This
hygienically cleans the dust from the bristles and sucks it into the bin.
Step 3
After five rotations, move the cleaning cuff back down, until you hear a click.
Your bristles are now dust-free.

Note: Only use the self-cleaning function when the Scratch-free dusting brush is attached directly to the vacuum.
