Doing so may result in electric shock, serious injury or
death. Have a qualified service technician replace any
damaged cords or plugs.
• Do not handle the unit with wet hands. Doing so may result
in electrical shock, serious injury or death. Thoroughly dry
your hands before handling any part of the air purifier.
CAUTION!
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. Doing so may result
in electrical sparks and fire. Unplug the unit by grasping,
and pulling the plug.
• Hair, loose clothing and body parts may get caught in the

Placement Warnings
!
WARNING!
•
Do not use the air purifier outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Doing so may result in electric shock, serious injury or
death. Use only indoors and under dry conditions.
•
•
Do not use the air purifier in an enclosed space where
flammable, combustible or explosive gases are present.
Do not use in an area where toxic vapors, flammable dust
or oxygen tanks are present. Doing so may result in serious
injury or death. Check the location and make sure these
elements are not present.
1
CAUTION!
• Do not place open flames, including candles, directly in
front of the air purifier.
• Keep objects away from the air intake grille.
It is important to consider the following when deciding on
where to locate the air purifier:
• Position the air purifier on a flat, solid, stable surface.
Never place the unit on soft surfaces such as a bed
or sofa.
• Position the air purifier where the dirty air is not drawn
across your head or body while sitting or sleeping.
• Position the air purifier so the plug on the power cord easily
reaches a standard electrical outlet for a polarized plug.
Note: A polarized plug has one
rounded prong and one straight prong.
The rounded end goes into the
longest socket slot.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Do not place the air purifier near sources of heat, such as
stove tops, ovens, radiators or computers.

1. Pre-Filter: Filter large particles such as dust, hair and lint.
Features
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. The air purifier
continues to filter particles from the air passing through it
with or without the odor absorber. Note: Oreck ProShield
Air Purifier has a replaceable odor absorber. Oreck
ProShield Plus Air Purifier has a permanent odor absorber
which is activated by internal ultraviolet lights and cannot
be removed.
4. Truman Cell: Electrostatically charges and collects
small particles such as dust, smoke, pollen, bacteria,
molds, viruses, and fungi.
5. Catalytic Oxygenator: Both models contain a permanent
catalytic Oxygenator which cannot be removed.
6. Exhaust Grille: Directs the flow of air as it exits the unit.
7. Power Cord: Plug into the outlet to begin use.
8. Removable Base: Allows the air purifier 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 of both models will softly glow
when the night light is activated. On the Oreck ProShield
Plus Air Purifier, the logo will illuminate when the unit is
sitting on its base, or serve as a night light on the front of
the unit.
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 after 30 days.

Truman cell to shut down and requires attention.
12. Speed Indicator Light: Lighting starts from the center
for the lowest motor speed to all five lights for full motor
speed.
13. Odor Absorber Light: The light indicates that it is time to
replace the odor absorber.
14. Oreck ProShield Air Purifier: On this model, 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 purifier. You
may notice faster dust buildup on the unit and surrounding
objects with the Air Revitalizer turned ON.

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. Allow to dry completely outside of the air purifier. 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.
