Simple Operation Tips and Vacuum Care
This new ORECK Upright is one of the finest, fastest, and strongest units in its class. You’ll love the way it cleans, gets under things, and it’s SO lightweight and easy to use.
The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation:
1.When inserting a new HEPA Filtration Odor Fighting Inner Bag
2.When the HEPA Filtration Odor Fighting Inner Bag is full, REPLACE IT.
3.If at any time the machine does not pick up properly or makes an unusual noise, STOP OPERATION and service.
4.Although your upright will pick up pins, paper clips, and other small objects, it is recommended that these be removed from the floor before you vacuum. Failure to do so may result in permanent damage to the motor suction fan and its housing.
5.WARNING: Do not use your vacuum cleaner on damp or wet surfaces. This will cause damage to the vacuum cleaner and is dangerous to the user. Damage caused by use on wet or damp surfaces is not covered under warranty.
6.For optimal performance, replace the belt every 6 months.
7.Check the disposable filter dust bag at least once a month.
8.DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving brush could damage the cord.
9.Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and fringe.
The performance of your new cleaner greatly depends upon care and maintenance. The instructions in this manual will guide you in performing basic care and maintenance. To obtain the most satisfying years of service read the instructions and keep them handy for future reference.
HEPA Filtration Odor Fighting Bags
Your Oreck includes a HEPA Filtration Odor Fighting Bag. The disposable inner bag plays a very important role in the efficiency of your ORECK vacuum. The purpose of the disposable inner bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the dis- posable inner bag becomes clogged, no air can pass through the vacuum and cleaning cannot take place, regardless of the vacuum’s power.
To keep your Upright vacuum operating at maximum efficiency, change the disposable inner bag frequently.
DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED ON THE DISPOSABLE INNER BAG.
Be sure the disposable inner bag is installed properly. Note: All disposable inner bags are not the same. Oreck offers HEPA and
The Belt
The belt on your vacuum cleaner controls the speed of the revolving brush and is very important for the effective operation of the cleaner. If the belt becomes stretched or cut, it will cause the revolving brush to stop completely or slow down. See instructions in the manual for replacing belt.
Note: An extra belt is stored in the baseplate of your cleaner. When buying replacement belts, use ONLY ORECK genuine belts. Belts other than Oreck belts will not operate the revolving brush correctly and may create undue stress which will cause damage to the motor and brush bearings. Using belts other than ORECK belts will void the warranty.
