The Dyson DC19 T2 is a bagless cylinder vacuum cleaner designed for household use, offering powerful suction and a range of features for effective cleaning. It is engineered with Dyson's cyclonic technology, which separates dust and dirt from the airflow, ensuring no loss of suction.
Function Description
The Dyson DC19 T2 is primarily designed for dry vacuuming of various surfaces within a home. It features a powerful motor and an efficient airflow system to pick up dust, dirt, pet hair, and debris. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a hose, wand, and various tool attachments to tackle different cleaning tasks, from floors to upholstery and crevices. The dual-mode floor tool allows for seamless transition between different floor types, such as carpets and hard floors.
Important Technical Specifications
- Maximum Product Weight: 7.91 kg
- Guarantee: 5-year limited guarantee covering parts and labor for defects in materials, workmanship, or function.
- Filter Type: Washable filter, requiring cleaning with cold water at least every 6 months.
- Bin Type: Clear bin™ for bagless operation, allowing users to see when it needs emptying.
- Power Supply: Operates on standard household electricity, with specific voltage requirements to match the rating plate.
- Thermal Protection: Equipped with a thermal protection device that automatically stops the vacuum cleaner if it becomes blocked or overheats, preventing damage.
Usage Features
- Assembly: The vacuum cleaner requires some assembly upon receipt. Key components like the hose, wand, and floor tool click into place. The main body of the vacuum cleaner houses the motor and clear bin, with the hose connecting to the main unit and the wand/floor tool attaching to the hose.
- Power and Cable Management: The power cable is stored within the unit and can be extended for use. It's crucial to ensure the cable is fully extended and not run over during operation to prevent damage. After use, the cable should be stored safely to avoid tripping hazards.
- Emptying the Clear Bin™: The clear bin™ has a 'MAX' fill line. To empty, the bin is detached from the main unit, and a release mechanism allows the bottom flap to open, releasing dirt directly into a waste bin. This process is designed to be hygienic, minimizing contact with dust.
- Tool Attachments: The DC19 T2 comes with various tools that attach to the wand or hose for specialized cleaning:
- Dual Mode Floor Tool: This versatile tool can be switched between carpet mode (brush bar engaged) and hard floor mode (brush bar disengaged) using a foot pedal.
- Crevice Tool: For cleaning tight spaces, corners, and edges.
- Stair Tool/Combination Tool: A multi-purpose tool for upholstery, stairs, and other surfaces.
- Suction Release: The vacuum cleaner features a suction release mechanism, typically a vent on the handle, which allows users to reduce suction power when cleaning delicate fabrics or to prevent tools from sticking too firmly to surfaces.
- Maneuverability: The cylinder design with wheels allows for easy movement around furniture and obstacles. The hose and wand provide extended reach for cleaning high areas or under furniture.
- Safety Precautions:
- Always read the operating manual before use.
- Do not use on wet surfaces or to pick up liquids, burning objects, or flammable materials.
- Ensure all parts are securely attached before operation.
- Do not leave unattended when plugged in.
- Unplug before maintenance or changing accessories.
- Keep hair, loose clothing, and body parts away from openings and moving parts.
- Do not use without the clear bin™ and filters in place.
Maintenance Features
- Washing the Filter:
- The filter needs to be washed with cold water at least every 6 months.
- To access the filter, it is typically located within the clear bin™ assembly or a dedicated compartment on the main unit.
- Remove the filter and rinse it thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear.
- Gently squeeze out excess water and leave the filter to air dry completely for a minimum of 24 hours in a warm, dry place. Do not use a washing machine, tumble dryer, or microwave, and keep away from naked flames.
- Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinserting it into the vacuum cleaner.
- Cleaning the Clear Bin™:
- After emptying, the clear bin™ can be wiped clean with a damp cloth to remove any remaining dust or dirt.
- Do not immerse the whole cyclone assembly in water or pour water into the cyclones.
- Ensure the bin is dry before reattaching it to the vacuum cleaner.
- Checking for Blockages:
- If the vacuum cleaner loses suction or the thermal protection device activates, check for blockages in the hose, wand, floor tool, and the clear bin™ entry point.
- Refer to the manual for specific instructions on how to safely inspect and clear blockages.
- Ensure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged before attempting to clear any blockages.
- General Care:
- Store the vacuum cleaner indoors, away from extreme temperatures (below 0°C/32°F).
- Do not lubricate any parts.
- Only use Dyson recommended attachments and parts.
- For any repairs or maintenance not covered in the manual, contact the Dyson Customer Care Helpline.
The Dyson DC19 T2 is designed for ease of use and maintenance, providing a reliable cleaning solution with its powerful suction and bagless design. Regular maintenance, particularly filter washing and blockage checks, is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the appliance.
