Maintaining your Dyson V12 Origin vacuum
Watch our maintenance guide for tips and step-by-step instructions on how to keep your machine performing at its best.
-
Cleaning the Slim Fluffy™ brush bar
Keep your vacuum's cleaner head in good condition by washing it in warm water.
-
Emptying and cleaning the bin
Overfilling the bin can reduce suction and affect the accuracy of the particle count shown on screen. Maintain your machine's suction power by emptying the bin as soon as debris reaches the MAX marker.
-
Checking for blockages
If your machine detects a blockage, the motor will pulse six times to let you know. You won't be able to continue until it is cleared.
Changing the battery
With your machine unplugged from the charger, the battery can be replaced using a small Posidrive screwdriver.
Looking after your filter
Your Dyson V12 Origin vacuum has a washable filter. Clean it regularly to prolong the filter's life and keep your machine performing at its best.
-
1. Turn off your machine
Disconnect your machine at the wall socket and twist the top to remove your Dyson filter.
-
2. Remove excess debris
Tap your filter unit lightly on the side of the sink or in the bin, to remove any loose dust and debris.
-
3. Rinse filter
Wash your filter unit under the tap, gently squeezing the water out with your hands. Avoid using detergent or washing in a dishwasher or washing machine.
-
4. Give it a gentle shake
Fill the filter unit with water. With one hand covering each end, shake it gently to ensure all trapped debris is released. Repeat this step until the water runs clear.
-
5. Leave to dry for 24+ hours
After washing the filter, leave to dry for at least 24 hours with the wider end positioned downwards.
-
6. Maximise airflow
Leave your filter in a warm place with plenty of airflow until completely dry. This could be beside a fan or open window. Avoid drying the filter in a tumble dryer, microwave or near a naked flame.
FAQs about the filter
Your machine will pulse seven times to alert you if there's a blockage. You can follow the animated guide on your LCD screen to clear it.
The LCD screen on your machine will remind you when it's time to clear your filter. This will usually be around once a month, but may be more frequent if you use your machine more heavily. After cleaning the filter, always leave it to dry for at least 24 hours. You must ensure it's completely dry before refitting. We recommend following the cleaning instructions and cleaning by hand. The filter is not suitable for dishwasher use.
