Assembly  
Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags  
fig. 1 Before assembling appliance, remove two screws from  
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.  
connector assembly. Remove cardboard insert by pulling  
upward.  
fig. 2 With ON/OFF switch facing the front of the unit, slide  
upper handle section over matching section of the  
connector assembly. Insert short screw into top hole and  
long screw into bottom hole then tighten firmly until  
handle is no longer loose.  
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.  
fig. 3 Attach cord to cord clip by pressing cord above and  
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.  
below clip ensuring the cord is fully rested in clip.  
Operating Instructions  
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.  
Make sure 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 and press the On(l) - OFF(O) switch on handle assembly  
when ready to operate.  
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.  
Up-Position Lock  
fig. 4 Place foot on power head and lean handle back gently to release  
lock for vacuum use. Return handle to the full upright position to  
engage lock.  
NOTE: 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.  
Lubrication  
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed.  
Further lubrication is not required.

connector.  
Operating Recommendations  
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.  
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.  
A little preventative maintenance will  
keep your cleaner looking new and will  
ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.  
2. When the disposable filter dust bag is full, REPLACE IT.

NOTE: The bearing assembly setting marked "OLD" has no ribs on the  
top of the assembly. The one marked "NEW" has several ribs. When  
rotating bearings, make sure both bearing assembly settings are the  
same and face up when replacing the brush roll.  
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.  
fig. 16 Reassemble the belt and the baseplate and check bristle height  
above baseplate at each end of brush.  
If a previous adjustment has already been made and bristle height does  
not extend above baseplate, a new brush assembly should be ordered.  
IMPORTANT: Unless the brush is worn as indicated above, both  
bearings must be in the “NEW” position. When rotating, both  
bearings must be in the “OLD” position. Unmatched settings will  
cause damage to your machine.  
XL3605HH: 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 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 bag often.

Using An Oreck Fresh Air Tab  
fig. 20 Your ORECK XL vacuum cleaner has a special ORECK FRESH  
AIR® tab pocket. This light-colored pocket is located inside the  
vinyl bag in the area where the paper disposable bag attaches  
to the intake tube. Insert tablet in pocket if desired.  
Bulb Replacement  
To Replace Filter Dust Bag  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
fig. 21 Remove lamp housing by removing two (2) screws in the the  
top of the lamp housing. Pull burned out bulb from holder and  
replace with new bulb. Use only Oreck replacement parts.  
Reassemble lamp housing by replacing two screws in the top of

BAG REMOVAL:  
fig. 6 Unzip outer bag completely.

connector. Bag dock door will hinge downward.  
Stuffing or Blockage  
fig. 8 Gently pull bag cardboard collar upward out of the bag dock.  
The dust seal will close automatically.  
IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stuffing may occur inside the  
the intake tube and the lower tube assembly. This is 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. If your vacuum cleaner does not pick up properly, or  
makes unusual noise and the outer bag does not fluff up or balloon open,  
follow these steps:  
BAG INSTALLATION:  
fig. 9 Slide the cardboard collar completely onto bag dock door.  
fig. 10 Firmly push bag dock door with both thumbs on indication point  
until it snaps.
