Remove Clogs from Canister

• 1). Press the release button on the back of the canister body to release the canister that catches dirt. Empty contents from the clear canister.
  
  
• 2). Wipe off the canister body and canister with a clean cloth or paper towels. You should be able to pull any loose debris off the canister body but do not immerse it in water. The clear canister can be immersed and washed with clean water, but Dyson cautions against using detergents.
  
  
• 3). Pull any remaining debris from the pipe where the canister attaches to the left side of the vacuum. Wipe off this connection with a clean cloth.
  
  
• 4). Reconnect the canister and canister body after making sure all of the parts are dry.
