Power modes

Your machine has three power modes for different tasks. Change power modes quickly using a single button.

Eco mode

Maximum run time for longer cleans all around your home.

Auto and Med mode

The optimum balance of power and run time. Attach your cleaner head or Hair screw tool to activate Auto mode. Suction power automatically adapts to dust levels.

Boost mode

Designed for intensive spot cleaning of ground-in dirt.

Turn your laser on and off.

Turn your laser on or off with the slider switch on your cleaner head. Class 1 laser product – safe for pets and humans. Avoid looking directly into the beam.

The LCD screen

The LCD screen shows your particle count information and performance, including the cleaning mode selected, remaining run time, filter maintenance, and blockage information.

Settings menu

Control the settings on your machine using the selection button. To enter the settings menu, press and hold the button until the menu screen appears. Tap to scroll through the options available.

Particle count and graph

Select to turn the measuring and counting of particles on and off. Turn off the measuring and counting of particles to stop your machine from automatically adjusting suction power, and turn off the graph. Automatic adjustment between hard floors and carpets will continue when using the Digital Motorbar™ cleaner head.

Adjust reactive suction power sensitivity.

Battery health

To get the best performance and life from your battery, use Eco or Auto/Med mode.

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 motorized floor tool and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.

How to clean your Dyson Submarine wet roller head

Step 1

Turn off your machine and detach the Dyson Submarine wet roller head from the wand. Place it in the drip tray immediately to prevent dirty water spillage.

Step 2

Hold the wet roller head level in the drip tray.

Step 3

Hold the wet roller head over a sink. Remove it from the drip tray. Hold the wet roller head at the edges, press the red quick-release button, and slide out the removable cassette from the main roller head. Remove the red dirty water tank cap to empty the waste extraction tray.

Step 4

Don’t get water on the neck of the wet roller head, as it may damage the connection to the wand. Disassemble the Submarine wet roller head. Every part of the wet roller head can be washed with water and a household antibacterial solution diluted according to the manufacturer’s recommended ratio. Empty any leftover water from the water reservoir.

Step 5

Leave the wet roller to air dry in a warm, well-ventilated space. Use a cloth to wipe away any dirt or excess water from the main roller head, waste extraction tray, and water reservoir. We recommend replacing the wet roller every six months, depending on how often you use your machine, to help maintain performance.

How to use your Dyson Submarine wet roller head

Step 1

Hold the wet roller head at the edges, press the red quick-release button, and slide out the removable cassette from the main roller head.

Step 2

Remove the cap on the water reservoir.

Step 3

Fill the water reservoir with clean water to the MAX line.

Step 4

Fit the cap securely on the water reservoir.

Step 5

Slide the waste extraction tray and water reservoir back into the main roller head until you hear a click. Attach the main wet roller head to your vacuum’s wand. Remaining battery life will be displayed as a percentage on your LCD screen.

You can wet clean until the water in the water reservoir is running low or until the battery runs out. To continue cleaning, simply empty the waste extraction tray, refill your water reservoir, and resume cleaning. Do not wet clean with an empty water reservoir to prevent the motor from overheating.

Charging your machine

It’s important to fully charge your new machine before using it for the first time and after every cleaning. 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. Connect to the 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 or charge if the ambient temperature is below 5°C (41°F). This is designed to protect both the motor and battery.

Changing your click-in battery

If you have additional click-in batteries, we recommend that you alternate the batteries to maintain even performance.

Removing your battery

Push the battery release button on the handle and slide the battery off your machine. Charge the battery.

Refitting your battery

Align your battery with the handle and slide it in. Push firmly until it clicks into place.

Emptying your bin

Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the MAX level – don’t overfill. Using your machine when the dirt is above the MAX line may affect performance and require more frequent filter washing. Overfilling your bin could result in inaccurate readings on the particle graph.

Remove your wand

Press the red wand release button on the top of the wand and pull the wand away from the bin.

Release the dirt

Hold the machine over the bin, pointing downwards. 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.

Minimize dust contact

Cover your bin tightly in a dustproof bag while you empty it. Remove your bin carefully, seal the bag tightly, and dispose.

Close the bin

Push the bin base upwards until your bin and bin base click into place.

Cleaning your bin

Remove your bin. If it is necessary to clean your bin, empty it as shown in the “Emptying your bin” section. Press the red button located on the bin runner to release the bin and slide your bin off the runner. Only use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean your bin. Make sure that your bin and seals are completely dry before replacing.

Refit your bin

Insert the spine onto the bin runner. Close your bin by pushing the bin base upwards until the bin and bin base click into place. Your bin isn’t dishwasher safe, and the use of detergents, polishes, or air fresheners to clean your bin isn’t recommended, as it may damage your machine.

Clearing blockages

Disconnect your machine from the charger before looking for blockages. Be careful not to touch the trigger and be aware of sharp objects. Leave your machine to cool down before looking for blockages. Don’t use your machine when looking for blockages, as this could cause injury.

If your machine detects a blockage, the motor will pulse, and you won’t be able to use your machine until the blockage has been cleared. If you try to use your machine when the motor is pulsing, it will automatically cut out.

Check the main body

Remove the bin and check for blockages in the main body of your machine. Make sure any blockages are completely cleared and all parts are fitted before using your machine.

Check the wand and the cleaner head.

Check the wand for blockages. Check your cleaner head for blockages, following the instructions to remove the brush bar, where necessary.

Reassemble your machine

Refit all parts securely before using your machine. Clearing blockages isn’t covered by your guarantee.
