Operating Instructions

Power Modes and LCD Screen

The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine features an LCD screen that displays real-time performance information, including power mode, remaining run time, and particle count. Use the button on the screen to cycle through power modes: Eco, Auto/Med, and Boost.

• Eco Mode: Provides maximum run time for lighter cleaning tasks.
• Auto/Med Mode: Intelligently adapts suction power based on debris and floor type (best accuracy).
• Boost Mode: Delivers maximum suction for intensive spot cleaning.

Dry Vacuuming

For dry vacuuming, attach either the Digital Motorbar cleaner head (for carpets and hard floors) or the Fluffy Optic cleaner head (for hard floors). The Fluffy Optic head uses a green laser to reveal microscopic dust.

Wet Cleaning (Submarine Cleaner Head)

The Submarine cleaner head is designed for washing hard floors. Fill the clean water tank with water, and optionally add a gentle, common household detergent (follow manufacturer's guidance for dilution). The motorized wet roller picks up liquids, debris, and tough stains, continuously extracting from the roller.

The Submarine cleaner head does not use suction for wet cleaning; it relies on the wet roller and extraction plate to clean and collect debris.

Versatility and Attachments

The vacuum easily converts to a handheld unit for cleaning high, low, and in between. Utilize the various Dyson-engineered accessories for specific tasks:

• Hair Screw Tool: Designed to pick up long hair and pet hair without tangles.
• Combination Tool: A versatile tool for dusting and cleaning larger debris.

Maintenance

Emptying the Bin

Empty the bin regularly to maintain optimal suction. The no-touch bin emptying mechanism allows for hygienic disposal of debris.

Cleaning the Filter

The HEPA filter should be washed regularly (at least once a month, or more frequently with heavy use) to maintain filtration efficiency. Allow it to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting.

Cleaning the Submarine Cleaner Head

After wet cleaning, it is crucial to clean the Submarine cleaner head. Remove the wet roller and the dirty water tray. Rinse both components thoroughly with clean water. Ensure they are completely dry before reassembling to prevent odors and bacterial growth.
