HEPA ODOR FIGHTING INNER BAG
Your Oreck includes HEPA Odor Fighting Inner
Bag. The disposable inner bag plays a very
important role in 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 a bag will
affect the cleaning ability of your vacuum and
could cause damage to it.
STUFFING OR BLOCKAGE
IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets,
stuffing may occur inside the intake tube
and the lower tube assembly. This is due to
excessive fuzz and loose cuttings in the carpet.
Stuffing could occur for the first few cleanings
until all the loose material is removed. Due to
the high efficiency of the vacuum, many older
carpets will cause stuffing when the vacuum
is first used on them. If your vacuum does not
pick up properly, or makes unusual noise and
the outer bag does not fluff up or balloon open,
follow these steps:
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of
electric shock or injury from moving parts -
Unplug before cleaning or servicing.
1.
Check for blockage at the mouth of the intake
opening. If there is blockage, remove it with
long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.
2.
Twist lower collar counterclockwise to slide
up. Pull tube out of base. Check for blockage.
If blockage is in the tube, remove with a coat
hanger.
3.
If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing.
Remove debris with long-nose pliers, a
screwdriver or coat hanger.
4.
Insert tube and push down until the tube is
seated. Make sure 0-ring is in place against fan
housing opening.
5.
To finish reassembly, replace and tighten collar
clockwise until collar locking tabs are locked
in place.
NOTE: Many times, blockage occurs due to a
full disposable inner bag causing dirt to back
down the air flow system. When that happens,
the blockage will be at the top of the system,
starting in the area where the disposable inner
bag connects to the connector assembly. If
the above actions do not correct the problem,
contact an Oreck authorized service center or
call the customer service center.

SIMPLE OPERATING TIPS

You'll love the way your Oreck cleans under
things and is so lightweight and easy to use.
The following are a few simple suggestions
regarding its operations:
• When inserting a new disposable inner bag,
first puff out and open the bag.
• When the disposal inner bag is full, replace it.
• Check the disposable inner bag at least once
a month.
• Do not run the vacuum over the cord. The
revolving brush could damage the cord.
• Use caution when vacuuming over area rug
edges and fringe.
• If at any time the machine does not pick up
properly or makes an unusual noise, stop
operation and service.
• 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
section fan and it's housing.
THE BELT
• Discover™ is equipped with the Endurolife™
Belt, which is designed for a long life and
doesn't need changing.
MOTOR PROTECTION/VACUUM
SHUT DOWN
A thermal protector has been designed into your
cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the
thermal protector activates the cleaner will stop
running and the headlights will flash.
If this happens proceed as follows:
1. Turn cleaner OFF and unplug it from the
electrical outlet.
2. Check fullness of bag, change if needed.
3. Clear any large obstruction or blockage from
the vacuum. (Stuffing or Blockage)
4. When cleaner is unplugged and motor cools
for 30 minutes, the thermal protector will
deactivate and cleaning may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to activate
after following the above steps, your cleaner
needs servicing.
LUBRICATION: The motor and brushroll
are equipped with bearings which contain
sufficient lubrication for their lifetime. The
addition of lubricant could cause damage.
Do not add lubricant to motor or brushroll.
