front of the air purier.
• Keep objects away from the air intake grille.
It is important to consider the following when deciding on

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.
CAUTION!
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

Features
1. Pre-Filter: Filters large particles such as dust, hair and lint.
2. Cleaning brush: Use to clean the front and back grilles.
Stores snuggly in the compartment under the cover.
3. Odor Absorber: Reduces odors and chemical fumes from
glue, solvents and synthetic materials from the air that
passes through the lter. The air purier continues to lter
particles from the air passing through it with or without the
odor absorber.
4. Truman Cell: Captures small particles such as dust, smoke,
pollen and pet dander from the air that passes through the lter.
5. Catalytic Oxygenator: This model contains a Catalytic
Oxygenator which cannot be removed.
6. Exhaust Grille: Directs the ow of air as it exits the unit.
7. Power Cord: Plug into the outlet to begin use.
8. Removable Base: Allows the air purier to stand vertically.
Simply stand the unit on its base with the Oreck logo facing
front and the control panel buttons at the top.
9. Night Light: The right end will softly glow when the night
light is activated.
10. Cover Release Button: Press in to release the cover for
maintenance access.
11. Truman Collector Cell Light: A solid red light is included
as a handy reminder to clean the Truman Cell. A blinking
light indicates a malfunction that has caused the Truman
cell to shut down and requires attention.
12. Speed Indicator Light: Lighting starts from the center for
the lowest motor speed to all ve lights for full motor speed.
13. Odor Absorber Light: The light indicates that it is time to
replace the odor absorber.
14. Air Revitalizer: This button activates the Air Revitalizer
feature which is designed to run continuously, but may be
turned OFF if desired. Provides additional air freshness
via the release of negative ions, which can also cause dust
particles to clump together and fall out of the air passing
through the air purier. You may notice faster dust buildup
on the unit and surrounding objects with the Air Revitalizer
turned ON.
15. Motor Speed/Power Button: Press the power buttons
repeatedly for the desired speed.
• Low for Silence Technology®. It’s the quietest
operation, cleaning the air as effectively but more
slowly than the high setting.

Cleaning the Truman Collector Cell
Note: The Truman Cell may require more frequent cleaning
if “arcing” occurs. Arcing is a sharp snapping sound that oc-
curs 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 and lay it on its side with the hinged
cover on top.
2.Open the Top Cover by pressing the Cover Release button.
3. Remove the collector cell by pulling up on the handle
(located across the top of the Truman Cell). Lift the
collector cell straight up and out.
4.Place in sink, bathtub or other location where cleaner can
cover every surface.

5. 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.
6. Shake excess water from the Truman cell to speed up drying
time. Do not use heated or compressed air to dry.
7. Place the Truman Cell back into the unit by sliding it straight
down into the slots. The Truman Cell is specially designed
so that it can only be inserted in one direction.
8. Close the Top 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
