How to Clean the Dyson DC14 Cyclone/Internal Channels

ID: 11494

Description: The cyclone's internal channels of your vacuum...

Steps:

1. Remove the canister, shown to the left, from your DC17 vacuum. The canister contains the cyclone's internal channels, which are within the gray plastic housing.
2. The cyclone will be separated from the canister in the next step.

3. Turn the canister around and locate the latch that secures the outer housing of the canister to the cyclone assembly, and push it upwards.
4. Now, free the cyclone assembly from the clear, plastic canister housing.

5. Clean the inside of the cyclone assembly out. Use a cloth to clean; the more dust you can clear the less dust will end up in the exhaust of your vacuum.
6. If you have an air compressor, don't be afraid to use it to blow the dust out of all the nooks and crannies of the cyclone assembly. This is a very sturdy component, and the strong air currents will not damage it.
