manualwillguideyouinperformingbasiccareandmaintenance.Toobtainthemostsatisfyingyearsofservice
read the instructions and keep them handy for future reference.
Odor Fighting HEPA Inner Bags
YourOreckincludesanOdorFightingHEPAInnerBag.Thedisposableinnerbagplaysavery
importantroleinthe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 bags will affect the cleaning ability of your
vacuumandcouldcausedamagetoit.
360º Glide
YournewOreckUprightfeaturesthe360ºGlideturning
system.The360ºGlideoffersanentirelynewlevelof
maneuverabilitytoyourlightweightOreckUpright.No
installation necessary. Simply turn the handle of your Oreck Upright to
maneuvertheunit.Goleft,Goright,makesharpturnsunderandaround
furniture.
The Belt
Thebeltonyourvacuumcleanercontrolsthespeedoftherevolving
brushandisveryimportantfortheeffectiveoperationofthecleaner.If
thebeltbecomesstretchedorcut,itwillcausetherevolvingbrushtostop
completely or slow down. See instructions in the manual for replacing belt.
Lubrication
Thevacuumcleanermotorbearingsarefactorylubricatedandsealed.
Furtherlubricationisnotrequired.
CAUTION
Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor Surfaces
and Polished Floor Finishes
Use floor and floor finish manufacturer’s recommended methods of cleaning. 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.
Note:Atleastonceamonth,checkforandremoveexcessivelint,stringorhairfrom
revolvingbrush.Patentedcleaninggroovesonbrushrollwillalloweasiercleaning.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
