Operating Recommendations

This new ORECK XL21 High-Speed 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		5	6
and easy to use.
The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation:
1.	When inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag -FIRST PUFF OUT
	and OPEN THE BAG.
2.	When the disposable paper filter dust 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.REPLACE THE BELT EVERY 6 MONTHS, SCENT CARTRIDGE EVERY

	MONTH, AND MOTOR FILTER EVERY 2 MONTHS.
7.	Change the disposable paper filter dust bag at least once a month - even if it is not
	full!The collected dust in the dust bag can cause odor, attract moisture, and can
	affect the efficiency of the cleaner.
8.	DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving brush could damage
	the cord.	7
