Operating Instructions

Powering On and Off

Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. The power button is located on the canister unit. Press it once to turn the vacuum on, and again to turn it off.

Ball Technology for Maneuverability

The DC39 Animal features Ball technology, allowing the vacuum to pivot and turn easily around furniture and obstacles. The central steering mechanism provides greater control, enabling tighter turning circles.

Radial Root Cyclone Technology

This vacuum utilizes Radial Root Cyclone technology with reconfigured air channels to maximize suction power. This system efficiently separates dust, dirt, and pet hair from the airflow, ensuring no loss of suction during cleaning.

Using the Triggerhead Tool

The Triggerhead tool is an air-driven rotating brush bar controlled directly from the handle. This eliminates the need to bend down to adjust settings.

• For Carpets: Press the button on the handle to engage the brush bar for deep cleaning carpets.
• For Hard Floors and Delicate Rugs: Press the button again to turn off the brush bar, preventing scratches and protecting delicate surfaces.

Using Additional Tools

• Mini Turbine Head: Ideal for removing pet hair and dirt from confined spaces, upholstery, stairs, and car interiors.
• Combination Tool: This tool converts into a brush tool for dusting delicate surfaces.
• Stair Tool: Designed for effective cleaning of stairs.

Maintenance

Hygienic Bin Emptying

The transparent bin allows you to see when it needs emptying. To empty, simply press the release button to open the bottom of the bin, allowing dirt and debris to fall directly into a waste receptacle. This design ensures hygienic disposal without contact with the dirt.

Filter Maintenance

The DC39 Animal includes a non-removable HEPA filter, which traps microscopic particles and allergens. This filter is designed to last the lifetime of the machine and does not require replacement. Regular cleaning of the pre-motor filter (if applicable, refer to quick start guide for location) is recommended to maintain optimal performance.

General Cleaning

Wipe the exterior of the vacuum cleaner with a damp cloth. Do not use any detergents or polishes. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling and using the vacuum.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Dyson DC39 Animal, please refer to the following common solutions:

• No Power: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet and the vacuum. Ensure the power outlet is functional.
• Loss of Suction: Empty the dust bin if it is full. Check for blockages in the hose, wand, or cleaner head. Ensure filters are clean and properly seated.
• Brush Bar Not Rotating: For the Triggerhead tool, ensure the brush bar is switched on for carpets. Check for obstructions in the brush bar.
• Unusual Noise: Turn off and unplug the vacuum. Inspect for any foreign objects caught in the cleaner head or hose.
