Cleaning your filter
-
Washing the filter
We engineer vacuums that are simple to use and easy to look after. We suggest you clean your filter once a month to keep your machine at maxium efficiency.
-
Flashing filter light
The light flashes intermittently when the filter isn't fitted correctly, causing your machine to stop. See how to refit it, and get your machine running again.
1. Remove your Dyson filter
Remove the filter from your Dyson machine.
2. Remove excess debris
Tap your filter lightly on the side of the sink or in the bin, to remove any excess dust and debris.
3. Rinse filter
Wash your filter with wam tap water - gently rubbing it with your hands. Don't use detergents.
4. Give it a firm shake
Fill your filter with warm tap water. Cover the open ends with your hands and shake firmly to remove the dirt. Repeat until the water runs clear and then firmly shake the filter to remove all excess water.
5. Leave to dry for 24+ hours
After washing your filter, leave to dry for at least 24 hours in an area with plenty of airflow, such as beside a fan or open window. Your filter must be completely dry before you put it back into the machine, or it could damage the motor.
Don't dry in a tumble dryer, microwave or near a naked flame.
Getting the best from your battery
We engineer vacuums that are simple to use and easy to look after. But batteries contain complex chemical structures that react to their enviroment. We've put together some tips that will help you to get the maximum life from your battery.
Use MAX mode less
Your vacuum is designed to be used in Suction mode 1 or 2 for everyday cleaning. These can be found and changed at the top or back of your vacuum. MAX mode is meant for powerful, intensive bursts of spot cleaning. Using it constantly speeds up degradation of the battery.
Avoid use in extreme temperatures
Hot enviroments speed up battery aging. So it's best to avoid cleaning the car in hot weather or leaving your vacuum in rooms that experience direct sunlight for prolonged periods. The same goes for cold porches and garages in winter.
Store your vacuum at room temperature
Heat sources, such as radiators, can damage the battery. We recommend that you store your vacuum at temperatures between 18°C–28°C, away from direct sunlight and out of boiler cupboards.
Let it cool, but not to much
You can preserve the life of your battery by letting your machine cool down after use - before connecting it back up to the dock to recharge.
Your machine won't operate or charge if the ambient temperature is below 3°C (37°F). This is designed to protect both the motor and battery.
Run the battery down periodically
By letting the battery run down to empty at least once a month, you'll help to prolong its life. Need a replacement battery? Click here for more information.
