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.
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.
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
TYPE CC disposable bags will affect the cleaning ability of
your cleaner and could cause damage to it.
