Dyson DC14 user manual

To adjust the suction on your Dyson DC14, follow these steps:
1. Start by turning off and unplugging your Dyson vacuum cleaner.
. Locate the dial on the front of the vacuum near the cleaning head. This dial controls the suction power.
3. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the suction power or counterclockwise to decrease it.
4. While adjusting, you can also check the suction level by placing your hand near the cleaning head to feel the strength of the airflow.
5. Once you have adjusted the suction to your desired level, plug in the vacuum and turn it on to test the changes.
Remember that different surfaces or cleaning tasks might require different levels of suction. It's recommended to start with lower suction settings and gradually increase as needed to avoid damaging delicate surfaces or pulling objects into the vacuum that shouldn't be.

A burning smell coming from your Dyson DC14 can be due to several reasons:
1. Belt: The belt in your vacuum could be stuck or too tight, potentially causing the burning smell. Too much friction from the belt can cause it to heat up and smell.
2. Motor: If there's an issue with the motor, it could overheat which could result in a burning smell.
3. Blockage: If there's a blockage somewhere in your vacuum like the hose, brush roll, or dust bin, that might make the motor work harder and cause the burning smell.
4. Too much dust: If dust or debris has accumulated in the motor, it might cause the motor to overheat and produce a burning smell.
5. Electrical issue: It's less common but possible that there's a short or some other electrical issue causing the smell.
In any of these cases, it would be recommended to turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner, then inspect it for any visible issues. It would be best to take it to a repair professional if the problem persists to avoid causing further damage.

The Dyson DC14 vacuum cleaner was first introduced in the year 2004.
