Choose the location Select a dry indoor place away from heat sources and moisture. Keep the machine at room temperature before operating and follow the temperature guidance in the manual supplied with your machine. Look for: Do not move a freshly charged machine into cold storage below 50°F / 10°C. The manual says the machine switches off below this battery temperature.

Protect the charger cable With the charger unplugged, inspect its cable, plug and housing. Route the cable without stretching it, trapping it in a door or creating a trip hazard. Hold the plug when unplugging. Look for: Damage or an unsuitable cable route must be resolved before charging. Source: dyson-v8-manual, pp2–3 Important safety instructions [ ] 3. Allow cooling after full discharge If the battery has just fully discharged, let the machine cool for a few minutes before recharging. Keep the battery clear of surfaces pressed flush against it during use. Look for: Cooling is the manual’s stated precaution; this task does not assign an invented precise wait. Source: dyson-v8-manual, p12 Charging and storage [ ] 4. Choose charging or long storage For charging, use only the specified Dyson charger and observe the normal charging display. For long periods without use, unplug the charger as instructed in the safety section. Look for: There is no prescribed storage charge percentage or monthly charging cycle in this task. Source: dyson-v8-manual, pp2–3 Important safety instructions; p11 Diagnostics – lights during charging [ ] 5. Leave the appliance ready for return Ensure the bin is below MAX, both filters are dry and fitted, and the machine and cable rest securely in the chosen place. Use the charging-light task for an unfamiliar indication. Look for: If a filter was washed, finish its full drying task before the machine is used again.

Save your own review date Keep the chosen place, charger check and action in the record. Any next review date you set is your own plan; filter washing still follows its separate manufacturer schedule.
