Operating Instructions

To Operate

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. Press the ON(l) -

OFF(O) switch on handle assembly when ready to operate.

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.

Operating Recommendations

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.

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.

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.

9. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and

fringe.

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.

Antibacterial Technology

Oreck added Antibacterial Technology to various touch

points, including the handle, outer bag and bag dock while

manufacturing this upright vacuum cleaner in order to

provide you with antimicrobial protection that continuously

fights the growth of microbes that can cause stains, odor and

product degradation. When microbes, such as bacteria,

mold and mildew come in contact with the product surface,

the antibacterial technology penetrates the cell wall and

disrupts key functions so they cannon grow or reproduce.

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.

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 sealed. 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.

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.

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.

WARNING: Unplug cord from

electrical outlet before servicing.

How to Replace a Worn Belt

Remove the replacement

belt from the storage

channel.

Remove the door by

removing the hold down

screw located on side of

power head.

Slide the door forward

by prying open with a

screwdriver or coin.

Remove the belt from the

brush roll pulley and the

motor drive shaft.

Loop the new belt over

the motor drive shaft.

Place the opposite end of

the belt on the brush roll

pulley.

Rotate the brush roll three

(3) complete revolutions

to ensure that no part of

the belt is overhanging

the end of the motor

drive shaft.

Replace the door by

sliding it into the groove

at the bottom of the

housing. Replace the

hold down screw.

WARNING: Unplug cord from

electrical outlet before servicing.

To Adjust or Replace Brush

To determine if the brush is

worn, place a firm straight

edge across the nozzle

opening. If brush bristles

do not extend beyond

baseplate, brush should be

adjusted.

Remove the baseplate by

removing 5 screws. Then,

remove the belt and brush

roll from the housing.

Rotate both bearing

assemblies at ends of

brush roll to show “OLD”

and replace in the holding

channels in the housing.

NOTE: The bearing

assembly setting marked

“OLD” has a smooth side.

The one marked “NEW”

has notches. When

rotating bearings, make

sure both bearing

assembly settings are the

same and face up when

replacing the brush roll.

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.

Rotate and match bearing

assemblies

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.

NOTE: If the “Stuffing or Blockage” actions do not correct the

problem, contact an ORECK authorized service center or call the

customer service center at

: 0845 603 0153.

Your ORECK XL vacuum

cleaner has a special

Oreck Fresh Air®tab

pocket. This pocket is

located inside the outer

bag in the area where the

disposable paper bag

attaches to the intake

tube. Insert tablet in

pocket.

Using An Oreck Fresh Air Tab

WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical

outlet before servicing.

Stuffing or Blockage

Under certain conditions it is possible to stuff or block the intake

tube and the lower tube assembly. 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 the following steps:

1. Check for blockage at the

mouth of the intake

opening. See illustration A.

If there is blockage, remove

it with long-nose pliers, a

screwdriver or coat hanger.

If you can not reach the

blockage, remove

baseplate. See illustration B.

2. If the blockage is not at the

base, remove lower tube.

See illustration C. Unhook

retainer spring, releasing

bottom of bag. Twist lower

collar counterclockwise to

slide up. Pull tube out of

base. Check for blockage.

If blockage is in the tube,

remove with a coat hanger.

3. If tube is not blocked, look

into fan housing. See illus-

tration D. Remove debris

with long-nose pliers, a

screwdriver or coat hanger.

4. To reassemble, check O-ring

on tube, and replace if

damaged. Vacuum will not

operate properly without the

tube O-ring. Slide O-ring to

approximately 2" from base

of tube. Replace tube by

first lining up slot at base of

tube with inner tab inside

fan housing. Then reinsert

tube and push down until

the tube is seated. Make

sure O-ring is in place

against fan housing

opening. Replace and

tighten collar until collar

locking tabs are locked in

place. See illustration E.

Make sure collar is not cross

threaded on housing.

5. Many times blockage occurs

due to a full dust bag

causing dirt to back down

the air flow system. When

that happens, the blockage

will be at the top of the

system, starting in the area

where the dust bag connects

to the connector assembly.
