The optimum balance of power and run time.
Attach your High Torque XL cleaner head to activate
Auto mode. Dyson DLS™ technology automatically
changes motor speed between floor types.
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.
You can register your machine using the serial
number found on the bottom of your machine.
Fully charge both batteries.

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.
Charging your machine
Connect to 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 if the ambient temperature is below
10°C (50°F). This is designed to protect both the motor and battery.
Changing your click-in battery
To remove a battery
Hold your hand under the battery
to support it.
Press the red battery release button
and slide the battery off the handle.
Place the battery on charge.
To install a battery
Slide the battery onto the handle
until it clicks securely in place.
Where you have additional batteries,
we recommend that you alternate the
batteries to maintain even performance.

Emptying your bin
To release the dirt:
Hold the machine over the bin in a downwards
position.
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.
Press the red wand release button
and pull the wand away from the bin.
To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying,
cover the clear bin tightly in a dust proof bag while
you empty. Remove the clear bin carefully from the
bag. Seal the bag tightly and dispose.
Be careful not to pull the power trigger
while the clear bin is open for emptying.
To close the clear bin:
Push the bin base upwards until the clear bin
and bin base click into place.
Empty as soon as the dirt reaches
the MAX level – don’t overfill.
Using the machine when the dirt
is above the MAX line may cause
the dirt to reach the filter and
more frequent maintenance
will be required.
Be careful not to pull the power
trigger while the clear bin is open
for emptying.
Cleaning your bin
If it is necessary to clean your bin, empty the bin
as shown in the ‘Emptying your bin’ section.
Press the red button located on the bin runner
to release the bin and slide the bin off the runner.
Clean the bin with a damp cloth only.
Make sure that the bin and seals are completely
dry before replacing.
To refit the bin, insert the spine on to the
bin runner.
Close the bin by pushing the bin base upwards
until the bin and bin base click into place.
The bin isn’t dishwasher safe and the use
of detergents, polishes or air fresheners
to clean the bin isn’t recommended as this
may damage your machine.

Washing your filter
Check that the filter unit is
completely dry.
To refit, position the filter unit in
place on the main body and twist
clockwise until it clicks into place.
The filter unit may require more
frequent washing if vacuuming fine
dust or if used mostly in Boost mode.
Don’t put any part of your machine
in a dishwasher, washing machine,
tumble dryer, oven, microwave or
near a naked flame.
Wash the filter unit in cold
water only.
Wash the pleated paper element
of the filter unit first; hold the filter
unit under a cold water tap with
the foam element downwards
and run cold water over the
pleated paper.
To always get the best performance from your
machine, it is important to regularly clean the
filters and check for blockages.
The LCD display will alert you when the filter unit
needs washing. We recommend that you wash your
filter at least once a month or when your machine
alerts you.
Remove the filter unit by twisting it
anti-clockwise. Gently pull it away
from the machine.
Tap the filter unit gently, to remove
any excess dust and debris before
washing it.
Wash the foam element of the filter
unit next; hold the filter unit under
a cold water tap with the foam
element downwards so that dirty
water does not contaminate the
pleated paper element. Run cold
water over the inside and outside of
the foam element and squeeze the
foam gently to expel the dirt.
Repeat washing both parts of the
filter unit until the water runs clear.
Gently shake the filter unit to
remove any excess water and leave
to drain with the foam element end
facing up.
Leave the filter unit to dry
completely in a dry environment
with good airflow, for a minimum
of 24 hours.
