Caring for your floors

Check that the underside of the cleaner head or tool is clean and free from any objects that may cause damage.
Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs, and carpets, check the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions.
The brush bar on your machine can damage certain carpet types and floors. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming without the motorized floor tool and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.

When the battery needs charging, your machine will pulse three times and a red warning icon will appear on the screen.
The alerts you might see are:
Filter – the filter isn’t fitted correctly or needs cleaning.
Blockage – your machine has a blockage that needs removing.

Charging your machine

It’s important to fully charge your new machine before using it for the first time and after every clean. This is because the battery and monitoring system’s algorithm ‘learns’ over time, and fully charging your machine helps it to more accurately calculate and display the remaining run time.

dyson v11 Outsize Cordless Vacuum Charging your machine

Connect to the charger either directly or in the dock.
The blue LEDs on either side of the battery will flash during charging.
When the battery is fully charged, both LEDs will light for 5 seconds.
Your battery is fully charged when the display shows 100%.
Your machine won’t operate if the ambient temperature is below 10°C (50°F). This is designed to protect both the motor and battery.

Changing your click-in battery

Where you have additional batteries, we recommend that you alternate the batteries to maintain even performance.

Emptying your bin

Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the MAX level – don’t overfill. Using the machine when the dirt is above the  MAX line may cause the dirt to reach the filter and more frequent maintenance will be required.

Be careful not to pull the power trigger while the clear bin is open for emptying.

Looking for blockages

Your machine is fitted with an automatic cut-out.
If any part becomes blocked, the machine may automatically cut out.
The motor will pulse and the LCD screen will indicate that there is a blockage.
Be careful not to pull the power trigger while looking for blockages.
Make sure any blockages are clear and all parts are refitted before using your machine.

Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.
If you can’t clear an obstruction from the cleaner head, you may need to remove the brush bar. Use a coin to unlock the fastener, slide the brush bar out of the cleaner head and remove the obstruction. Replace the brush bar and securely tighten the fastener.
Make sure it is fixed firmly before using your machine.
Your machine has carbon fiber brushes. Take care if coming into contact with them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash our hands after handling the brushes. dyson v11 Outsize Cordless Vacuumhandling the br ushes
