Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the proper use, installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Dyson DCO7 Bagless Upright Upholstery Tool Nozzle. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the product to ensure safe and efficient operation.
This upholstery tool is designed to attach to compatible Dyson upright vacuum cleaners, specifically models DCO1, DCO2, DCO4, DCO5, DCO7, and DCO14, to effectively clean upholstered surfaces.
Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly attach the upholstery tool to your Dyson vacuum cleaner:
- Ensure Vacuum is Off: Before attaching or detaching any accessories, always ensure your Dyson vacuum cleaner is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet.
- Locate Accessory Port: Identify the accessory port on your Dyson upright vacuum. This is typically located on the hose or wand.
- Attach the Tool: Align the nozzle of the upholstery tool with the accessory port. Push firmly until it clicks securely into place. Do not force the attachment.
- Verify Connection: Gently tug on the tool to ensure it is firmly attached and will not detach during use.

Operating Instructions
Once the upholstery tool is securely attached, you can begin cleaning:
- Power On: Plug in and turn on your Dyson vacuum cleaner.
- Surface Test: Before cleaning a large area, test the tool on an inconspicuous part of the upholstery to ensure it does not cause damage or discoloration.
- Cleaning Technique: Move the upholstery tool slowly and steadily across the fabric surface. For best results, use overlapping strokes. The red brush strips on the nozzle help to agitate and lift dirt and debris from the fabric.
- Hard-to-Reach Areas: The compact design of the nozzle allows for effective cleaning in crevices and along seams of upholstered furniture.
- Detaching the Tool: When finished, turn off and unplug the vacuum. Press the release button (if present on your vacuum's hose/wand) or gently pull the tool away from the accessory port.
Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your upholstery tool:
- Cleaning the Nozzle: After each use, inspect the nozzle for any trapped debris, threads, or hair. Use your fingers or a small brush to remove any obstructions from the red brush strips and the suction opening.
- Washing: The tool can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the tool in water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching it to the vacuum.
- Storage: Store the upholstery tool in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced Suction | Nozzle blocked by debris. | Inspect the nozzle opening and brush strips for obstructions and remove them. |
| Tool detaches during use | Not securely attached to the vacuum's accessory port. | Ensure the tool is pushed firmly into the accessory port until it clicks. Check for any damage to the locking mechanism. |
| Ineffective cleaning | Tool not making proper contact with surface; brush strips worn. | Ensure the tool is flat against the surface. If brush strips are significantly worn, consider replacing the tool. |
