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.
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.
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.
