Getting started
You can quickly get up and running with our step-by-step guide.
Fully charge before first use
For the best experience, we recommend fully charging your machine, and any additional batteries, as soon as you open the box and after every clean. This is because the battery and monitoring system's algorithm 'learns' over time, and fully charging your batteries helps it to more accurately calculate and display remaining run time.

Charging your machine's battery
You can charge your battery whether it’s connected to your machine or not. Simply use your dock, or the power cable that came in the box.
How to swap your click-in battery
To swap your battery, press the red battery release button and pull the battery away from the handle. Then replace it with an additional click-in battery. We recommend alternating and charging all click-in batteries regularly to prolong battery health.
Maintaining your machine
From cleaning the bin to washing the filter, our quick guide will help you keep your machine working at its best.
-
Washing the filter
Shake the filter firmly to remove excess water, until there is no water coming from the filter. Leave to dry in a well ventilated, warm place for at least 24 hours. Make sure the filter is completely dry before refitting. Your machine could be damaged if used with a damp filter.
-
Washing the Slim FluffyTM cleaner head
Remove the end cap and set aside. Hold the brush bar under cold tap water. Remove as much excess water as possible, stand upright and leave to dry in a warm place with plenty of airflow for at least 24 hours. Make sure the brush bar is completely dry before refitting it.
-
Checking for blockages
Your machine will make a pulsing sound to let you know there's a blockage. Watch the video to see how to find blockages.
-
Emptying and cleaning the bin
Wipe the bin clean with a damp cloth only. Make sure the bin and seals are completely dry before refitting.
-
Cleaning the Light-pipe crevice tool
It's quick and easy to wash the Light-pipe crevice tool. Watch the video to see how.

Useful tips
-
Don't overfill it
To maintain suction, keep an eye on the bin and empty it as soon as debris reaches the MAX marker.
-
Regularly wash the filter
It's important to wash the filter regularly, to maintain optimum performance. The screen will remind you when it's time to do this.
-
Setting up your dock
You can use the dock to store your machine, so it's always to hand and ready to go. See how to set it up.
Frequently asked questions
The screen on your machine will remind you when it's time to clean your filter. This will usually be around once a month, but 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.
A full charge takes up to 3.5 hours.
We recommend fully charging a spare battery soon after purchase, and alternating batteries regularly to prolong battery health.
Your battery has been designed to be left on charge, so it’s fine to leave it plugged in after charging.
We recommend fully charging your machine after every clean. This helps your vacuum's battery and monitoring system's algorithm to more accurately calculate and display remaining run time.
The LCD screen only uses up to 1.5 watts of power, which won't noticeably impact run time.
Your machine works independently and doesn't connect to the Dyson Link app.
