Operating Recommendations
This new ORECK XL High-Speed Upright is one of the finest,
6
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
15
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
filter 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 the 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
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.
