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.
Odor Fighting HEPA Inner Bags
Your Oreck includes an Odor Fighting HEPA Inner 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 disposable 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 non-HEPA inner bags. Your Oreck HEPA or non-HEPA inner
bags have been designed to be used with the ORECK Upright vacuum. Using bags other than
genuine Oreck HEPA or non-HEPA disposable inner bags will affect the cleaning ability of your
vacuum and could cause damage to it.
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.

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.
