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 operation:
• When inserting a new disposable inner bag, first puff out and OPEN the bag.
• When the disposable 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 brushroll 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 suction fan and its housing.

Motor Protection/Vacuum Shutdown

If the vacuum becomes overloaded, which could occur by sucking up a large obstruction or on
extremely thick carpet, the electronics are designed to shut down the vacuum. If this happens,
the vacuum will be turned off and the headlights will flash. To reset the vacuum turn the unit
off, wait 5 seconds, and then turn it back on. If it shuts down again there may be a large
obstruction in the vacuum. See page 9 for the steps on clearing a blockage.
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet
before servicing.
1. Clear any large obstruction or blockage from the vacuum.
(See Page 9, "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 motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed. Further lubrication is not
required.

Brushroll Maintenance

At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint,
string or hair from the revolving brushroll. Patented cleaning
grooves on the brushroll will allow easier cleaning. Wipe
the outside of the vacuum with a damp cloth. Also clean the
connector deflector assembly area, base of vacuum 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 Upright
vacuum looking new and will ensure continued cleaning
effectiveness.
Replacing the Brushroll
The brushroll is designed for long life. Should it ever become worn or frayed, it can be replaced
by an Oreck Authorized Service Center.
