Emptying and cleaning the bin

Checking for blockages
If your machine detects a blockage, the motor will pulse six times to alert you – and you won't be able to continue until the blockage is cleared. Remove the wand, bin and cleaner head to find and clear the blockage.
Changing the battery
The battery detaches in a click, without the need for screws. So it's easy to uninstall and replace.

Remove your vacuum from the docking station and twist the filter counter clockwise to remove it from the body.

Tap your filter unit lightly on the side of the sink or bin, to remove loose dust and debris.

Wash the filter with cold tap water, gently squeezing the water out with your hands. Avoid using detergent or washing in a dishwasher or washing machine.

4. Gently shake
Fill the inside with water, cover both sides with your hands, and shake lightly. Wash until the water is clear.
-
5. Dry for at least 24 hours
Allow the filter to air dry in a well-ventilated area for at least 24 hours, with the wide mouth facing down.

6. Let it dry completely
Your filter must be completely dry before you return it to your machine, or it could damage the motor. Do NOT dry in a tumble dryer, microwave or near a naked flame.

FAQs
How do I clean the wet roller? Do I need to use detergent?
The wet roller can be washed with a common household anti-bacterial detergent, diluted according to the manufacturer's recommended ratio. We recommend doing this after each clean to maintain hygiene.
Does the vacuum suck up water? Does water enter the bin?
Only the Dyson Submarine™ wet roller head should be used to pick up wet debris and liquid spills. Engineered with intelligent power diversion and mode detection, all aspects of wet cleaning are contained within the wet roller head.
Can I use it with my existing Dyson V15?
The Dyson Submarine™ wet roller head is not compatible with any of our other vacuums, including pre-purchased V15. To intelligently switch between wet and dry cleaning, this version of the machine has been reprogrammed. Our previous software is not compatible with wet floor cleaning.
Does it work on carpets?
The Dyson Submarine™ wet roller head has been engineered for hard floors.
How often should I replace the wet roller?
We recommend replacing the wet roller every six months, depending on how often you use your machine, to help maintain optimum performance.
