Operating Instructions
To Operate
Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed
properly.
Make sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is in place.
DO NOT operate the cleaner without a paper filter dust bag.
Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. Choose from the
low and high speed settings by pressing the ON/LOW (l)
ON/HIGH (ll) - OFF (O) switch on handle assembly when
ready to operate.
All paper dust bags are not the same. Your ORECK
disposable dust bags have been designed to be used with the
ORECK cleaner and using bags other than genuine ORECK
disposable bags will affect the cleaning ability of your cleaner
and could cause damage to it.
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.
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.
Operating Recommendations
An extra belt is stored in the base plate 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.
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:
Lubrication
1. When inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag—
FIRST PUFF OUT and OPEN THE BAG.
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated
and seated. Further lubrication is not required.
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.
General Cleaner Care
At least once a month, check for and remove excessive
lint, string or hair from revolving brush.
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 continued cleaning effectiveness.
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.
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 metal strip on the base of the
cleaner could be damaged if used on concrete or abrasive
surfaces, and, therefore, cause damage to wood floors, soft
(vinyl, asphalt tile, etc.) floor surfaces and polished floor
finishes. 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.
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, act as a breeding
area and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.
8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over cord. The
revolving brush could damage the cord.
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. Increase the CLEANING POWER of your cleaner by
changing the bag often.
Celoc® Hypo-Allergenic Filter System
The CELOC SMMS outer bag of your vacuum cleaner is high
filtration medical material designed to filter the smallest of
dust particles. It is important that the inside of the outer bag
be cleaned. Vacuum the inside of the outer bag or hand
wash, turned inside out, with warm water and air dry. For
best results, the CELOC SMMS outer bag should be replaced
once a year. The CELOC layered disposable inner dust bag
must be replaced once a month even if it is not full.
Change it more often if it is used in extremely dirty areas.
Increase the cleaning power of your vacuum by changing the
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency,
change the dust bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE
LINE INDICATED ON THE DUST BAG.

CANADA: 1-888-676-7325
IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stuffing may occur
due to excessive fuzz and loose cuttings in the carpet.
Stuffing could occur for the first few cleanings until all the
loose material is removed. Due to the high efficiency of the
cleaner, many older carpets will cause stuffing when the
cleaner is first used on them.
