Getting Started

Fully charge your machine before using it for the first time.

Power Modes

Your machine has three power modes for different tasks, changeable with a single button:

• Eco mode: Maximum run time for longer cleans. The LCD screen displays a full battery in green.
• Med mode: The optimum balance of power and run time. The LCD screen displays a medium battery life in blue.
• Boost mode: Designed for intensive spot cleaning of ground-in dirt. The LCD screen displays the shortest battery life in red.

Connect the wand to the main body by aligning the release button. Tools can be connected directly to the main body or to the end of the wand.

Charging Your Machine

It is important to fully charge your new machine before first use and after every clean. This helps the battery monitoring system's algorithm learn and accurately display remaining run time.

Connect the charger to the power supply via the wall dock or directly to the battery. The blue LEDs on either side of the battery will flash during charging. When fully charged, both LEDs will light for 5 seconds, and the display will show 100%.

The machine will not operate or charge if the ambient temperature is below 5°C (41°F) to protect the motor and battery. Allow the machine to cool down before recharging to help prolong battery life.

Changing Your Click-in Battery

If you have additional click-in batteries, alternate them to maintain even performance.

To remove: Push the Battery release button on the handle and slide the battery off.

To refit: Align the battery with the handle, slide it in, and push firmly until it clicks [click] into place.

Caring for Your Floors

Check that the underside of the cleaner head or tool is clean and free from objects that may cause damage.

Before vacuuming, check the manufacturer's recommended cleaning instructions for your flooring, rugs, and carpets.

The brush bar can damage certain carpet types and floors. If carpets fuzz when using the rotating brush bar, consider vacuuming without the motorised floor tool and consult your flooring manufacturer.

How to Use Your Dyson Submarine™ Wet Roller Head

1. Hold the wet roller head at the edges, press the red Quick-release button, and slide out the removable cassette from the main roller head.
2. Remove the cap from the water reservoir by turning it anti-clockwise.
3. Fill the water reservoir with clean water to the MAX line.
4. Securely replace the cap by turning it clockwise.
5. Slide the waste extraction tray and water reservoir back into the main roller head until you hear a click [click]. Attach the main wet roller head to your vacuum's wand. The LCD screen will display the remaining battery life as a percentage. Continue wet cleaning until the water reservoir is low or the battery runs out. Empty the waste extraction tray, refill the water reservoir, and resume cleaning. Do not wet clean with an empty water reservoir to prevent motor overheating.

How to Clean Your Dyson Submarine™ Wet Roller Head

1. Turn off the machine and detach the Dyson Submarine™ wet roller head from the wand. Place it immediately in the drip tray to prevent dirty water spillage.

4. The main roller head can be washed with water [?], but do not get water on the neck [❌], as it may damage the connection to the wand. Disassemble the wet roller head. All parts can be washed with water and a diluted household anti-bacterial solution. Empty any leftover water from the water reservoir.
5. Leave the wet roller to air dry in a warm, well-ventilated space [☀️?⏳]. Use a cloth to wipe away dirt or excess water from the main roller head, waste extraction tray, and water reservoir. Dyson recommends replacing the wet roller every six months, depending on usage, to maintain performance.

Emptying Your Bin

Empty the bin as soon as dirt reaches the MAX level; do not overfill, as this can affect performance and require more frequent filter washing.

• Remove wand: Press the red wand release button on top of the wand and pull it away from the bin.
• Release dirt: Hold the machine over a bin, pointing downwards. Firmly push the red bin release button. The bin slides down, cleaning the shroud, and the bin base opens. Ensure the button is fully pushed for the base to open.
• Minimise dust contact: Cover the bin tightly in a dust-proof bag while emptying. Seal the bag tightly and dispose of it.
• Close bin: Push the bin base upwards until the bin and bin base click [click] into place.

Cleaning Your Bin

If the bin needs cleaning, empty it first as described above. Press the red button on the bin runner to release the bin and slide it off. Clean the bin with a damp, lint-free cloth only. Ensure the bin and seals are completely dry before replacing.

Do not put the bin in a dishwasher or use detergents, polishes, or air fresheners, as this may damage the machine.

To refit: Insert the spine onto the bin runner. Close the bin by pushing the bin base upwards until it clicks [click] into place.

Washing Your Filter

• Shake out water: Empty the filter and shake firmly to remove excess water. Keep shaking until no water remains.
• Dry filter: Do not dry in a tumble dryer, microwave, or near a naked flame. The filter must be completely dry before reinserting; using a damp filter can damage the machine.

Clearing Blockages

Disconnect the machine from the charger before checking for blockages. Be careful not to touch the trigger and be aware of sharp objects. Allow the machine to cool down before checking. Do not use the machine while checking for blockages, as this could cause injury.

If a blockage is detected, the motor will pulse six times. The machine will not operate until the blockage is cleared. Attempting to use the machine while it is pulsing will cause it to cut out automatically.

• Check wand: With the wand removed, check for blockages at both ends.
• Check cleaner head: Turn the cleaner head over to check for obstructions on the brush bar and air inlet.
• Check bin area: With the bin removed, check for blockages, particularly the air inlet located on the right-hand side of the machine below where the bin joins the main body.
• Remove obstructions: Clear any obstructions from the brush bar.
• Check filter/bin ends: Check for blockages in the filter end and bin ends of the machine.

Clearing Blockages from Your Hair Screw Tool

The Hair screw tool does not have a washable brush bar. Check it regularly and clear obstructions to maintain performance. Ensure the machine is disconnected from the charger and avoid touching the trigger.

• Remove cover and brush bar: Remove the Hair screw tool from the wand or machine. Push the base plate open. Press the red lever down to release the cleaner head cover and pull it off the main body.
• Look for obstructions: Pull the brush bar firmly to remove it. Check and remove obstructions from all three parts of the tool.
• Reassemble: Put the brush bar back into position and press firmly until it clicks [click]. Ensure the red locking lever is unlocked.
