Operating Recommendations
This new ORECK XL 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 and easy to
use.
E N G L I S H
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 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.
7. Change the disposable 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, act as a breeding
area and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.
8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over cord. The revolving
brush could damage the cord.
9. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and
fringe.
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 paper bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be
porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the paper bag
becomes clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and
cleaning cannot take place, regardless of the cleaner’s power.
Increase the CLEANING POWER of your cleaner by changing
the bag often.
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.
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.
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.
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.
