-
Cleaning your bin
You can maintain suction by emptying the bin before debris reaches the MAX line. The bin can also be fully removed from the machine for cleaning.
-
Checking for blockages
If your machine detects a blockage, the motor will pulse six times to let you know. You won’t be able to use your machine until it's cleared. If this happens, remove the wand, bin and cleaner head and clear any blockages you find.
Changing the battery
With your machine unplugged from the charger, the battery can be replaced using a small Posidrive screwdriver.
Washing your filter
Your Dyson Humdinger™ vacuum has a washable filter. We recommend washing it once a month to maintain optimum suction power.
-
1. Turn off the power
Remove your vacuum from the docking station and twist the filter counterclockwise to remove it from the body.
-
2. Remove dust and debris
Tap your filter unit lightly on the side of the sink or in the bin, to remove any loose dust and debris.
-
3. Wash the filter
Wash the filter with cold tap water, gently squeezing the water out with your hands. Avoid using detergent or washing in a dishwasher or washing machine.
-
4. Gently shake
Next, fill the the inside with water, cover both sides with your hands, and shake lightly. Wash until the water is clear.
-
5. Dry for at least 24 hours
Allow the filter to air dry in a warm, well-ventilated area for at least 24 hours with the wide mouth facing down.
-
6. Let it dry completely
Your filter must be completely dry before you put it back into your machine, or it could damage the motor. Avoid drying in a tumble dryer, microwave or near a naked flame.
Frequently asked questions
We recommend washing your filter once a month, or more frequently if you use your machine heavily. Simply wash with cold water and ensure it's completely dry before reattaching. The filter is not suitable for a dishwasher.
A full charge can take up to 3.5 hours.
Your battery has been designed to be left on charge, so it’s always ready for your next clean.
