Setup

Unboxing and Assembly

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. The Dyson V8 Origin+ comes with the main vacuum body, a wand, a Motorbar™ cleaner head, a charger, a wall dock, and various accessories.

To assemble, slide the wand onto the main vacuum body until it clicks securely. Then, attach the Motorbar™ cleaner head to the end of the wand, ensuring it clicks into place. For handheld use, attach accessories directly to the main vacuum body.

Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge your Dyson V8 Origin+ vacuum. Connect the charger to the charging port on the main body. A full charge takes approximately 5 hours. The indicator lights on the vacuum will show charging status and turn solid blue when fully charged.

Operating Your Dyson V8 Origin+

Power Modes

The Dyson V8 Origin+ features two power modes:

• Standard Mode: Provides up to 40 minutes of fade-free suction for everyday cleaning.
• MAX Mode: Offers increased suction for more demanding tasks and stubborn dirt. Activate by sliding the switch on the main body. Note that MAX mode will reduce run time.

Cleaning Surfaces

The Motorbar™ cleaner head is designed for deep cleaning across carpets and hard floors. Its de-tangling technology automatically clears hair from the brush bar.

For delicate surfaces or tight spaces, detach the wand and use the vacuum in handheld mode with appropriate attachments.

Included Attachments

Your Dyson V8 Origin+ comes with specialized tools to enhance your cleaning versatility:

• Motorbar™ Cleaner Head: Main cleaning head for all floor types, featuring de-tangling technology.
• Combination Tool: A two-in-one tool with a wide nozzle and brush, for switching between cleaning and dusting tasks.
• Crevice Tool: Designed for precise cleaning around edges and narrow gaps.
• Mini Dusting Brush: For delicate surfaces and upholstery.
• Hair Screw Tool: Features a conical, anti-tangle brush bar for removing hair from pet beds and upholstery.

To attach a tool, align it with the end of the wand or the main body and push until it clicks. To remove, press the red release button and pull the tool away.

Maintenance

Emptying the Clear Bin

Empty the clear bin as soon as dirt reaches the MAX mark. To empty, hold the vacuum over a bin, push the red lever down firmly to release the bin base and empty contents. Push the bin base up until it clicks securely.

Washing the Filter

The vacuum has two filters that require regular washing to maintain optimal performance. The pre-motor filter (located at the top of the cyclone) and the post-motor filter (located at the back of the main body).

1. Twist the pre-motor filter counter-clockwise and pull to remove.
2. Twist the post-motor filter counter-clockwise and pull to remove.
3. Wash both filters under cold running water until the water runs clear. Do not use detergent.
4. Tap the filters to remove excess water and leave to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reassembling. Ensure they are completely dry before placing back into the vacuum.

Battery Care

To prolong battery life, allow the vacuum to cool down before recharging. Store the vacuum away from direct sunlight and at room temperature. Use MAX mode only for intense bursts and spot cleaning to conserve battery.

Troubleshooting

Reduced Suction

If suction is reduced, check the clear bin for blockages and empty if full. Ensure filters are clean and dry. Inspect the cleaner head and wand for any obstructions.

Vacuum Not Turning On

Check if the battery is charged. Ensure the charger is properly connected and the power outlet is working.

Short Run Time

This may indicate the battery needs to be fully charged or is nearing the end of its lifespan. Ensure you are not continuously using MAX mode, which drains the battery faster.
