Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures your Clean Obsessed CO6 vacuum operates at peak efficiency.
1. Emptying the Dust Bag
- Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the power outlet before performing any maintenance.
- The CO6 uses a 6-quart cloth bag. When suction power decreases or the bag appears full, it's time to empty it.
- Access the bag compartment (refer to the vacuum's design for specific opening instructions).
- Carefully remove the cloth bag and empty its contents into a waste receptacle.
- Reinsert the clean bag, ensuring it is properly seated to maintain filtration effectiveness. The patent-pending body design allows constant airflow even when the bag is filled.
2. Filter Maintenance
- The vacuum features an SMS high filtration system and an H-10 HEPA Media Filter, designed to filter 99.9% of fine dust particles and allergens.
- Periodically inspect the filters for excessive dirt buildup.
- Depending on usage, filters may need to be cleaned or replaced. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines for specific filter cleaning/replacement intervals and methods.
3. Hose and Attachment Care
- Inspect the hose and attachments regularly for blockages or damage.
- Clear any obstructions from the hose or tools to maintain optimal suction.
- Wipe down attachments with a damp cloth as needed.
