Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags

Disposable paper filter dust bags play a very important role in the efficiency of your ORECK vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the filter bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the filter bag becomes clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and cleaning cannot take place, regardless of the cleaner’s power.

To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust bag frequently.

Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.

All paper dust bags are not the same. Your ORECK disposable dust bags have been designed to be used with the ORECK cleaner. Using bags other than genuine ORECK disposable bags will affect the cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.

General Cleaner Care

At least once a month, check the disposable exhaust filter and motor filter for clogs. If the filters become clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and cleaning cannot take place, regardless of the cleaner’s power. See “Replacing the Exhaust Filter” and “Replace and Cleaning the Motor Filter”.

Also wipe the outside of the cleaner with a damp cloth. A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner looking new and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.
