Operating Recommendations

This new ORECK XL High-Speed Upright is one of the finest, fastest,
and strongest units in its class. You’ll love the way it cleans, gets under
things, and it’s SO lightweight and easy to use.

The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its
operation:

1. When inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag—FIRST

PUFF OUT and OPEN THE BAG.

2. When the disposable filter dust bag is full, REPLACE IT.

3. If at any time the machine does not pick up properly or makes an

unusual noise, STOP OPERATION and service.

4. 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.

5.

WARNING: 

Do not use your vacuum cleaner on damp or wet

surfaces. This will cause damage to the vacuum cleaner and is
dangerous to the user. Damage caused by use on wet or damp
surfaces is not covered under warranty.

6.

REPLACE THE BELT EVERY 6 MONTHS.

7. Change the disposable filter dust bag at least once a month—

even if it is not full! The collected dust in the dust bag can cause
odor, attract moisture, and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.

8.

DO NOT 

run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving

brush could damage the cord.

9. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and fringe.

General Information

The performance of your new cleaner greatly depends upon care and
maintenance. The instructions in this 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.

Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags

Disposable paper filter dust bags play a very important role in the
efficiency of your ORECK vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the paper
bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to
allow air to pass through. If the paper bag becomes clogged, no air can
pass through the cleaner and cleaning cannot take place, regardless of
the cleaner’s power. 

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 TYPE CC disposable bags
will affect the cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause
damage to it.

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.

An extra belt is stored in the baseplate of your cleaner. When
buying replacement belts, use ONLY ORECK genuine belts. Belts
other than Oreck belts will not operate the revolving brush
correctly and may create undue stress which will cause damage to
the motor and brush bearings. Using belts other than ORECK belts
will void the warranty.

Lubrication

The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed.
Further lubrication is not required.
