Setup
Unpacking and Initial Charge:
- Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Connect the charger to the vacuum and plug it into a power outlet.
- Allow the vacuum to charge for a minimum of 3.5 hours before first use. The battery indicator will show charging status.
Assembling the Vacuum:
- Attach the wand to the main body of the vacuum until it clicks securely into place.
- Select your desired cleaner head (e.g., Torque Drive cleaner head for carpets, Soft Roller cleaner head for hard floors) and attach it to the end of the wand until it clicks.
Wall-Mounted Docking Station:
The Dyson V10 comes with a wall-mounted docking station for convenient storage and charging. Choose a suitable location near a power outlet. Securely mount the docking station to the wall using the provided screws and follow the instructions in the separate installation guide for the docking station.
Operating the Vacuum
Power Modes:
The Dyson V10 offers three power modes to suit different cleaning tasks and floor types:
- Mode 1 (Low): For lighter cleaning and maximum run time (up to 60 minutes with non-motorized tools).
- Mode 2 (Medium): For everyday cleaning on various surfaces (up to 40 minutes with Soft Roller cleaner head).
- Mode 3 (Max/Boost): For intensive spot cleaning and deep-down dirt (up to 20 minutes with Torque Drive cleaner head).
To change power modes, locate the slider switch on the top of the main body.
Starting and Stopping:
Press and hold the instant-release trigger to start vacuuming. Release the trigger to stop. Battery power is only used while the trigger is held.
Handheld Conversion:
To convert to a handheld vacuum, press the red release button located at the top of the wand to detach it from the main body. You can then attach accessories directly to the main body for spot cleaning, car interiors, or difficult-to-reach areas.
Maintenance
Emptying the Bin:
The Dyson V10 features a hygienic 'point and shoot' bin emptying mechanism. Hold the vacuum over a trash bin, push the red lever forward, and the bin will open, releasing the dirt. Close the bin cover firmly until it clicks.
Washing the Filter:
The filter should be washed regularly (approximately once a month, or as indicated by the vacuum). To remove the filter, twist the purple filter unit counter-clockwise from the top of the main body. Wash the filter under cold running water until the water runs clear. Squeeze and twist to remove excess water. Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reattaching it to the vacuum. Ensure it is completely dry to maintain optimal suction.
Troubleshooting
If your Dyson V10 is not performing as expected, please check the following common issues:
- No Power: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Check the charger connection.
- Loss of Suction: Check if the bin is full and needs emptying. Ensure the filter is clean and completely dry. Check for blockages in the cleaner head, wand, or main body.
- Cleaner Head Not Spinning: Check for blockages in the cleaner head brush bar. Ensure the cleaner head is correctly attached.
