Operating Instructions Cont., To Replace Paper Filter Dust Bag - Oreck U2000RB-1 User Manual

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. 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.
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 disposable bags will affect the
cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause
damage to it.
The Belt
This vacuum is equipped with the Endurolife Belt, which is
designed for long life and doesn't need changing. If the vacuum
sucks up a large obstruction, the Endurolife Belt is designed to shut
the upright down.
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
1. Clear any large obstruction or blockage from the vacuum.
(See Page 6, "Stuffing or Blockage")
2. Once the blockage is cleared, plug the vacuum back in and it
will reset.
NOTE: If the vacuum continues to shut down, contact an Oreck
Authorized Service Center.
Lubrication
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and
sealed. Further lubrication is not required.
General Cleaner Care
At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint, string
or hair from revolving brush.
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.
CAUTION—Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.)
Floor Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes
Use low speed for hard surfaces and fine rugs.
Use floor and floor finish manufacturer's
recommended methods of cleaning.
The metal strip on the base of the
cleaner could be damaged if used on
concrete or abrasive surfaces, and,
therefore, cause damage to wood
floors, soft (vinyl, asphalt tile, etc.) floor
surfaces and polished floor finishes. 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.
