Checking for blockages

If your machine detects a blockage, the motor will pulse six times. You won’t be able to use your machine until the blockage is cleared. If this happens, remove the wand, bin and cleaner head and clear any blockages you find. Watch the video guide to see how.

Cleaning the washable parts

Many parts of your machine can be easily cleaned using a lint-free cloth. This helps to maintan performance by preventing a build up of fine dust. Our video guide shows you how.

Replacing the battery

With your machine unplugged from the charger, the battery can be replaced using a small Posidrive screwdriver. Watch our video to guide you through the steps.

Cleaning the filter

Your filter captures fine dust which can build up over time and reduce performance. But by cleaning it at least once a month, you can help maintain suction power. Follow the video guide, or step-by-step instructions below.

1. Turn off your machine

Disconnect your machine at the wall socket and twist the top to remove your Dyson filter.
2. Remove excess debris

Tap your filter unit lightly on the side of the sink or in the bin, to remove any loose dust and debris.
3. Rinse filter

Wash your filter unit under the tap, gently squeezing the water out with your hands. Avoid using detergent or washing in a dishwasher or washing machine.
4. Give it a gentle shake

Fill the filter unit with water. With one hand covering each end, shake it gently to ensure all trapped debris is released. Repeat this step until the water runs clear.
5. Leave to dry for 24+ hours

After washing the filter, leave to dry for at least 24 hours with the wider end positioned downwards.
6. Maximize airflow

Leave your filter in a warm place with plenty of airflow until completely dry. This could be beside a fan or open window. Avoid drying the filter in a tumble dryer, microwave or near a naked flame.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I clean the filter?

We recommend you clean your filter around once a month, but this may be more frequent if you use your machine heavily. After cleaning your filter, always leave it to dry for at least 24 hours. Ensure it's completely dry before refitting on your machine. We strongly recommend following the cleaning instructions and cleaning by hand. The filter is not suitable for dishwasher use.

How long does the battery take to fully charge?

A full charge takes up to 4 hours.

Can I leave my vacuum on charge?

Your battery has been designed to be left on charge, so it’s fine to leave it plugged in after charging.
