Simple Operation Tips / Vacuum Care
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.
• At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint, string or hair from revolving
brushroll. 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.
The performance of your new vacuum 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.
HEPA Filtration Odor Fighting Inner Bag
Your Oreck includes a HEPA Filtration Odor Fighting 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 ef
ficiency,
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.
