Understanding the LCD screen on your Dyson V12 Detect Slim™ cordless vacuum

Understanding the LCD screen on your Dyson V12 Detect Slim™ cordless vacuum.

This film includes subtitles. To get the most out of our videos we recommend viewing with subtitles turned on.

The LCD screen shows your particle count information and performance, including the cleaning mode selected, remaining run time, filter maintenance and blockage information. The LCD screen also has a menu allowing you to customise your experience, including changing the language and managing your alert settings.

How the graph works:
As you vacuum, a piezo sensor counts and measures the particles picked up. The particles are ranked into four sizes and each size is represents by a coloured bar on the graph.

Yellow Bar - 10μm - particles as small as allergens and pollen.
Orange bar - 60μm - particles as small as microscopic dust and skin flakes.
Pink bar - 180μm - particles as small as dust mites and fine sand.
Purple bar - 500μm - particles as small as sugar granules.

The graph is available in all power modes, with all accessories.

How to do I know I've achieved a deep clean?:
When lots of dust is being vacuumed, the graph rises quickly. But as less dust is picked up, the graph slows down letting you know you've achieved a thorough deep clean.

Can I turn off particle count?:
You can turn off the particle count by accessing the 'Particle count' menu and selecting 'Off'. When the graph is turned off, the LCD screen shows power mode and remaining run time during cleaning.

How to reset the particle count to zero?:
There are three ways to do this, by stopping the machine for 10 minutes, putting the machine on charge or by removing and refitting the battery. Each time the particle graph will reset to zero.
