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.  
Before assembling appliance,  
remove two screws from the  
connector assembly. Remove  
cardboard insert by pulling  
upward.

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.  
Slide upper handle section  
over matching section of the  
connector assembly. Insert  
short screw into top hole and  
long screw into the bottom  
hole then tighten firmly until  
handle is no longer loose.

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, 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.  
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.  
To Replace Filter  
Dust Bag  
WARNING: Unplug cord from  
electrical outlet before servicing.  
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.  
BAG REMOVAL:  
1. Pull bag cardboard collar to  
release bag dock door from  
connector.  
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 seated. Further lubrication is not required.  
General Cleaner Care  
At least once a month, check for  
and remove excessive lint, string  
or hair from revolving brush.  
2. Gently pull bag cardboard  
collar upward out of the bag  
dock.  
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.  
BAG INSTALLATION:  
1. Slide the cardboard collar  
completely onto bag dock  
door.  
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner  
looking new and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.  
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.

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.
