General Information.

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.

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.

DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED ON THE DUST BAG.

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

HEPA-Celoc®Hypo-Allergenic Filter System

The HEPA-Celoc outer bag of your vacuum cleaner is high filtration medical material designed to filter the smallest of dust particles. It is important the inside of the outer bag be cleaned. Vacuum the inside of the outer bag or hand wash, turned inside out, with warm water, and air dry. If desired, the HEPA-Celoc outer bag can be replaced for renewed efficiency. The Celoc layered disposable inner dust bag must be replaced once a month even if it is not full. Change it more often if it is used in extremely dirty areas. Increase the cleaning power of your vacuum by changing the bag often.

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.

Motor Filter

The motor filter is used to filter tiny particles released by the motor exhaust while in operation. The motor filter is not necessary for operation but is helpful in removing contaminants from the air. Note: Motor filter should be replaced every two months for best performance.

Oreck Fresh Air® Cartridges

A fresh air cartridge adds a desired fragrance to the air while vacuuming. It is placed behind the motor filter and uses heat and air generated from the motor to spread the fragrance. Note: Cartridge should be replaced every month when filter dust bag is replaced or as desired.

Lubrication

The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed. Further lubrication is not required.

CAUTION

Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes

Use floor and floor finish manufacturer’s recommended methods of cleaning. The roller brush may also scuff very soft finishes. Do not operate the unit while in the upright and locked position. Do not let the unit run while in any one stationary position for any period of time. Keep the unit moving while in operation.

Note: At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint, string or hair from revolving brush. Patented cleaning grooves on brush roll will allow easier cleaning.

Wipe the outside of the cleaner with a damp cloth. Also clean the connector deflector assembly area, base of cleaner and fan housing area. If there is dust in the outer bag, vacuum it or shake it out.

A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner looking new and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.
