Battery

Charging your battery

It's important to charge the battery before using your vacuum for the first time. This helps the battery monitoring system's algorithm more accurately calculate remaining run time.

  • Video still of a user's hands washing the filter under a tap.

    Washing the filter

    Your Dyson V12s Origin Submarine™ wet and dry vacuum cleaner has a washable filter. We recommend washing it once a month to maintain optimum suction power.

  • A user cleans the vacuum cleaner's bin with a duster.

    Emptying and cleaning the bin

    You can help to maintain suction by emptying the bin before the debris reaches the MAX line. Remove the bin from the machine to clean thoroughly.

  • A user clearing a blockage from a dismantled machine.

    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.

FAQs

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.

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. Water and debris is extracted from the roller into the waste tray, which sits directly behind the wet roller using Dyson’s new wet technologies.

The Dyson Submarine™ wet roller head is not compatible with any of our other vacuums, including pre-purchased Dyson V12 machine. 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.

The Dyson Submarine™ wet roller head has been engineered for hard floors.

We recommend replacing the wet roller every six months, depending on how often you use your machine, to help maintain optimum performance.
