Removing the Bin and Wand

To detach the bin from your Dyson vacuum, start by pushing the red release button located at the top of the bin. This will cause the bin to unclip from the vacuum.

Next, grasp the bin by the handle and pull it straight up and away from the vacuum body. Be careful not to spill any dirt or debris when removing the bin.

Once you have removed the bin, you can empty its contents into a trash can. To do so, simply press the button located at the bottom of the bin and the contents will be released.

Once the bin is empty, you can reattach it to the vacuum by aligning it with the slots on the vacuum body and pressing it down until it clicks into place.

To detach the wand from your Dyson vacuum, simply grasp the wand at the base and pull it straight up and away from the vacuum body. The wand should come off easily.

Once you have removed the wand, you can use it to clean hard-to-reach areas, such as under furniture or in corners. To do so, simply attach the appropriate tool to the end of the wand and start cleaning.

Once you have finished using the wand, you can reattach it to the vacuum by aligning it with the slots on the vacuum body and pressing it down until it clicks into place.
