IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:

1Always turn off this appliance before connecting and disconnecting motorized nozzle.

2Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from electrical outlet when not in use and before servicing.

3Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids – electric shock and personal injury could occur.

4Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

5Do not allow use by anyone unable to operate the vacuum properly.

6Use only as described in this manual. Use only with Dyson recommended attachments, accessories, and replacement parts.

7Check to ensure your electricity supply corresponds to that shown on the rating plate, which can be found behind the bin. The machine must only be used as rated.

8If the appliance is not functioning properly, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or immersed in liquid, contact the Dyson Helpline at 1-866-693-9766.

9Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. Do not pull or carry by the cord; do not use the cord as a handle; do not close a door on the cord or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the machine over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces and open flames.

10Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

11Do not handle the plug or appliance with wet hands.

12Do not use the appliance without the clear binTM and filters in place.

13Do not put any object into openings in the machine. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.

14Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings in the machine and moving parts, such as the brushbar.

15Do not use the machine to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper clips etc., because they may damage the machine.

16The use of an extension cord is not recommended.

17Store the machine indoors. Put the machine away after use with the cord coiled safely, to prevent tripping accidents.

18Turn off all controls before unplugging.

19Use extra care when cleaning on stairs; always work with the machine at the bottom of the stairs. Keep vacuum on the floor. Do not put the machine on chairs, tables etc.

20Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.

21Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.

22When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear binTM or wand. These are not associated with the electricity supply. To minimize any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object into the clear binTM unless you have first emptied it and rinsed it out with cold water.

23Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this manual or advised by the Dyson Helpline.

24Consult your flooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before vacuuming and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpets. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brushbar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in bare floors mode and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.

DC18 specifications

The Dyson DC18 is a powerful bagless vacuum cleaner that stands out for its innovative design, advanced technologies, and remarkable performance. Launched with the vision of combining efficiency with ease of use, the DC18 continues to be a popular choice among homeowners seeking effective cleaning solutions.

One of the primary features of the Dyson DC18 is its unique Root Cyclone technology. This technology uses centrifugal force to separate dust and debris from the airflow without the need for a bag. The result is consistent suction power that doesn't diminish over time, allowing for thorough cleaning across various surfaces. Whether you are vacuuming carpets or hard floors, the DC18 is designed to capture even the tiniest particles of dirt and allergens.

In addition to its efficient suction capabilities, the DC18 is equipped with a telescopic wand that enhances its versatility. This feature allows users to reach high corners, clean under furniture, or tackle stairs with ease. The wand can be extended or retracted quickly, making it convenient for various cleaning tasks throughout the home.

Another notable characteristic of the Dyson DC18 is its lightweight design. Weighing in at just 15.5 pounds, it is easy to maneuver around the house, making vacuuming less of a chore. The vacuum also features a low-profile design, allowing it to easily glide under furniture and into tight spaces.

The DC18 incorporates advanced filtration systems, including a washable HEPA filter. This ensures that the air released from the vacuum is cleaner than the air you breathe. It captures 99.97% of allergens as small as 0.3 microns, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers and families with pets.

Furthermore, the DC18 has a clear bin that lets you see when it’s time to empty. This not only adds convenience but also reduces the chances of a clogged filter caused by overfilling a bag. The easy emptying mechanism ensures that disposing of dirt is mess-free.

In summary, the Dyson DC18 is a remarkable vacuum cleaner, designed with the end user in mind. Its Root Cyclone technology, lightweight construction, effective filtration, and versatile cleaning options make it an excellent choice for maintaining a clean and healthy living space. With the DC18, Dyson continues to push the boundaries of vacuum cleaner technology, providing powerful performance with every use.
