Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!
General Warnings
CAUTION!
• Only use the air purier as described in this manual.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
• Do not use the air purier with a damaged cord or plug.
Doing so may result in electric shock, serious injury or
death. Have a qualied service technician replace any
damaged cords or plugs.
• Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with
throw rugs, runners or similar oor coverings. Arrange
cord away from trafc areas where it will not be tripped
over.
• Do not handle the unit with wet hands. Doing so may result
in electrical shock, serious injury or death. Thoroughly dry
your hands before handling any part of the air purier.
• Hair, loose clothing and body parts may get caught in the
machine resulting in injury. Keep hair, loose clothing and
body parts away from openings and moving parts.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. Doing so may result
in electrical sparks and re. Unplug the unit by grasping,
and pulling the plug.
• The Oreck DualMax™ is equipped with an ALCI
(Appliance Leakage Current Interrupter). The ALCI
shuts off the unit in potentially hazardous situations.
Note: The ALCI has a Test and Reset button which should
be tested each time the unit is plugged in.
Do not remove the tag which provides test instructions
from around the cord at the ALCI.
Note: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is larger
than the other). The plug will t in a polarized out-
let one way. If the plug does not t fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still will not t, contact
qualied personnel to install
a proper outlet.
Do not alter the plug in any way.
Do not try to defeat this safety feature.

DANGER: Improper installation of ALCI can result in
electric shock.
Do not modify or bypass the ALCI. Do not replace any
electrical component in this product with anything
other than an authorized ORECK replacement part. The
risk of electric shock can result if used in the vicinity
of improperly grounded stationary appliances (stove,
refrigerator, washer, etc.).
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Do not place the air purier near sources of heat, such as
stove tops, ovens, radiators or computers.
WARNING!
!
• Do not use the air purier outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Doing so may result in electric shock, serious injury or
death. Use only indoors and under dry conditions.
• Do not use the air purier in an enclosed space where
ammable, combustible or explosive gases are present.
• Do not use in an area where toxic vapors, ammable dust
or oxygen tanks are present. Doing so may result in serious
injury or death. Check the location and make sure these
elements are not present.
Placement Warnings
READ AND SAVE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION!
• Do not place open ames, including candles, directly in
front of the air purier.
• Keep objects away from the air intake grille.
It is important to consider the following when deciding on
where to locate the air purier:
• Position the air purier on a at, solid, stable surface.
Never place the unit on soft surfaces such as a bed or sofa.
• Position the air purier where the dirty air is not drawn
across your head or body while sitting or sleeping.
• Position the air purier so the plug on the power cord easily
reaches a standard electrical outlet for a polarized plug.
• Disconnect power cord from the outlet before servicing.

materials when air passes through the lter and is activated
by the DualMax™ internal lights. (The Odor Absorber
System cannot be removed.)
4. Truman Cell®: Electrostatically charges and collects small

Cleaning the Truman Cell®
Note: The Truman Cell® may require more frequent clean-
ing if “arcing” occurs. Arcing is a sharp snapping sound that
occurs when large particles are collected in the Truman Cell®.
If prolonged or continuous arcing occurs, the Truman Cell®
should be cleaned.
1. Unplug the air purier.
2. Open the Cover by
gently pulling from the
top corners.
3. Remove the Truman
Cell® by unlocking top
and bottom knobs and
pulling straight out.
4. Separate the Truman
Cell® from the Wire
Assembly for easier
access to each during
cleaning.
5. Place each in sink,
Cleaning the Pre-Filter
1. Unplug the air purier.
2. Open the Cover by gently pulling from the top cor-
ners.
3. Pull the Pre-Filter straight out of the Cabinet.
4. Thoroughly rinse the Pre-Filter and let it air dry be-
fore placing it back in the Cabinet. Do not use heated
or compressed air as part of the drying process.
5. Slide the Pre-Filter back into the unit.
6. Close the Cover securely.

bathtub or other location where cleaner can cover every
surface.
6. Spray Oreck Assail-a-Cell® cleaner between each Cell Plate
and cover each surface. Allow the cleaner to soak for a few
minutes but do not let it dry. Thoroughly rinse the Truman
Cell® with clean water.
An alternative method to clean the Truman Cell® is to rinse
or soak it in warm water for loose debris. Mild liquid dish
detergent in water may also be used to help break down
tough dirt and residue. Thoroughly rinse the Truman Cell®
with clean water.
Note: To prevent damage to the components of the Truman
Cell®, do not put in dishwasher or use a cotton swab.
Tough residue such as tar from tobacco smoke may need
additional cleaning or longer soaking.
7. Shake excess water from the Truman Cell® to speed up
drying time. Do not use heated or compressed air to dry.
8. Reassemble the Wire Assembly and Truman Cell® by
inserting the (4) post located on the outside edges of the
Wire Assembly into the recessed channels of the Truman
Cell®. After guiding the post into the recessed channels,
slide the Wire Assembly until it locks into place.
9. Place the Truman Cell® back into the unit by sliding it
straight in and turning each knob to its locking position.
The Truman Cell® is specially designed so that it can only
be inserted in one direction.
10.Close the Cover securely.

Drying the Truman Cell®
Note: The Truman Cell® must be completely dry after cleaning
in order to operate properly. A drying mode is available to help
remove any residual moisture. While in this mode, the fan will
be running on Medium speed, and no power will be supplied to
the Truman Cell. Once the unit detects that the Truman Cell®
is completely dry, it will return to its original operating settings
and function as normal.
“Dry Mode” Operation
If the power supply detects that the Truman Cell® is wet, it shuts
down power to the cell and causes the Collector Cell light to
blink rapidly.
1. While the Collector Cell light is blinking, press and hold the
power button to initiate “Dry Mode”.
2. Next, the following will all happen simultaneously:
• The lights directly above and below the power button
will ash 3 times.
• The unit will switch to medium speed.
• The Collector Cell light will start to blink in a slow
pattern.
3. Once in “Dry Mode”
• The unit will run for 60 minutes and then attempt to
reset the power supply to the Truman Cell®.
• If the power supply successfully restarts, the unit will
return to its original speed and run as normal.
• If not successful, it will go through the same process up
to two more times.
• If still not successful after the third try, the cell is likely
damaged or is shorting out due to the presence of a
foreign object; it will return to the original speed and
the Collector Cell light will blink with a rapid blink
pattern indenitely until the unit is reset.

Cleaning the Exhaust Grille
1. Remove the Cleaning Brush from the storage slot located
under the Cover.
2. Brush away debris that has collected between the Grille
Slots.
