Polarized Plug Notice  
Maintenance and Customer Service  
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line  
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug  
will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety  
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,  
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an  
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the  
purpose of the polarized plug.  
Your Oreck Air Purifier is a product of precise engineering. If you  
require additional information or have problems with your Oreck  
appliance, you may call ORECK customer service at:  
USA: 1-800-989-3535 Canada: 1-888-676-7325  
Please specify the model number and serial/code number which  
can be found on the data plate on the back of the Air Purifier.  
Save your sales or purchase slip. Should your Oreck appliance  
require warranty service in the U.S.A., present this slip to the  
Authorized Service Center as your proof of purchase date or, in  
Canada, call customer service.  
Warranty  
ORECK MANUFACTURING COMPANY: (Oreck Manufacturing  
Company gives you the following limited warranty for this  
product only if it was originally purchased for residential use, not  
resale from Oreck or an Oreck Authorized Retail Dealer.)  
INTRODUCTION  
Oreck will repair or replace, free of charge, to the original  
purchaser, any part that is found to be defective in material or  
workmanship within three (3) years of the date of purchase and  
twelve (12) years for the Ionizer/Collector Cell for all residential  
models. NOTE: If the unit is used commercially, a one (1) year  
overall warranty applies.  
The air you breathe is filled with thousands of particles of air  
pollution. Some of the pollutants like dust and lint are large  
enough to be visible to the naked eye, but pollutants such as  
pollen, smoke, germs, bacteria, etc., are microscopic in size.  
Your Oreck Air Purifier has been designed to capture and  
destroy visible and invisible pollutants and provide you the  
luxury of clean air living in your home or office.  
This limited warranty does not cover the replacement of  
expendable or consumable parts such as filters, cartridges, and  
other parts subject to normal wear unless they are defective in  
material or workmanship.  
Airborne particles and odors are removed from air passing  
through the unit by the process of electrostatic precipitation and  
an activated charcoal odor absorber. The fragrance feature  
releases a pleasant aroma with the newly cleaned air.  
This limited warranty does not apply to any part subjected to  
accident, abuse, commercial use, alteration, misuse, damage  
caused by act of God, the use of voltages other than on the data  
plate on this product or service of this product by other than  
Oreck or a participating Factory Authorized Service Center.  
How Your Oreck Air Purifier Works (fig.1)  
Oreck does not authorize any person or representative to  
assume or grant any other warranty obligation with the sale of  
this product.  
1. Polluted air enters the Air Purifier through the front grill. As  
the air is pulled through, a Pre-Filter helps trap large particles  
(hair, lint, etc.).  
2. Positive Charging Wires electrostatically charge smaller  
particles (dust, smoke, pollen, etc.).  
Oreck’s limited warranty is valid only if you retain proof of  
purchase from Oreck or an Oreck Authorized Retail Dealer for  
this product. If you purchase this product from any other source,  
your purchase is “AS IS,” which means Oreck grants you no  
warranty, and that you, not Oreck, assume the entire risk of the  
quality and performance of this product, including the entire cost  
of any necessary servicing or repairs of any defects.  
3. The positively charged particles then enter the negatively  
charged Electronic Collector Cell, where the aluminum plates  
attract and retain the particles and subsequently destroy  
bacteria, mold, viruses, and fungi. It works like a powerful  
magnet and the particles remain until the Electronic Collector  
Cell is cleaned.  
Oreck’s liability for damages to you for any costs whatsoever  
arising out of this statement of limited warranty shall be limited  
to the amount paid for this product at the time of original  
purchase, and Oreck shall not be liable for any direct, indirect,  
consequential or incidental damages arising out of the use or  
inability to use this product.  
4. The air then passes through a Charcoal Odor Absorber that  
helps remove household odors.  
5. Next, the Air Revitalizer (Ionizer) releases negative ions to  
freshen the air. It provides a pleasant, clean smell. The Air  
Revitalizer is designed to be left on continually to provide a  
clean scent.  
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental  
or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion  
may not apply to you.  
The negative ions created by the Air Revitalizer may also  
combine with dust, causing the dust to fall out of the air. This  
feature gives you an easy, centralized place to wipe away  
dust. You can also turn off the Air Revitalizer (Ionizer) to limit  
any dust collecting around the Air Purifier.  
ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES FOR THIS  
PRODUCT, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF  
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR  
PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY  
PERIOD, AND NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR  
IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER THIS PERIOD.  
Finally, electronically cleaned air passes back into the room  
through the top grill.  
Some states do not allow limitations on the duration of implied  
warranties, so the above limitation may not apply to you.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also  
have other rights which vary from state to state.

Oreck Air Purifier Placement and Start-Up  
5.AIR DIRECTION CONTROL: Slide switch on top of unit  
controls the louvers and enables you to direct airflow to  
desired areas.  
1. Open box and check parts. Box should include one  
Professional Air Purifier, Oreck fragrance cartridge, Charcoal  
Odor Absorber and User’s Guide.  
NOTE: You may notice an occasional sharp snapping  
sound coming from your unit. This is a normal occurrence  
called “arcing” and results as large particles of dust are  
collected in the Electronic Collector Cell. Should prolonged  
or continuous arcing occur, the Electronic Collector Cell  
should be thoroughly cleaned and dried completely  
2. Your Air Purifier draws in dirty air for cleaning. Place the Air  
Purifier in a location where the dirty air is not drawn across  
your head or body while sitting or sleeping.  
3. Insert the Oreck fragrance cartridge (optional) and the  
Charcoal Odor Absorber (optional).  
The fragrance cartridge is located in the “User’s Guide”. Slide  
the FRAGRANCE tab on the front control panel of the Air  
Purifier to eject and the drawer will open (fig.2). Insert  
fragrance cartridge and close the drawer.

The Charcoal Odor Absorber is located with the unit in  
a separate plastic bag. The Charcoal Odor Absorber  
snaps into the back of the Collector Cell (see instructions  
with Absorber).  
OPERATION

Your Air Purifier works best if you leave it in operation  
continuously, and it provides multiple settings for convenient use  
at any time.

power  
switch to the fan speed you prefer: HI for maximum  
cleaning -  
MED for normal use - SILENCE for

2.FRAGRANCE CARTRIDGE: Fragrance compartment switch  
ejects drawer for access to fragrance cartridge. Insert  
fragrance cartridge and close drawer. (One fragrance  
cartridge is included.)  
(See “Cleaning Collector Cell”).

3.IONIZER POWER SWITCH: Turns the Ionizer ON or OFF.  
The indicator light will glow green when ON and functioning  
properly. The Ionizer provides a pleasant, clean smell. It can  
be turned ON or OFF without impacting the Air Purifier’s  
cleaning effectiveness.  
The Oreck Professional Air Purifier offers Silence Technology®  
for the quietest operation. The Collector Cell cleans as  
effectively on the Silence setting as it does on the High setting -  
only the fan’s speed changes. As a result, your Oreck Air Purifier  
cleans as well on Silence as on High, but will clean the room  
more slowly as it circulates less air.  
4.POWER INDICATOR LIGHT: The indicator light will glow  
green when the unit is operating normally. It will flash red  
when the Collector Cell requires cleaning. NOTE: The light  
will glow red for a moment when unit is first turned on.

sofas or carpet), near computers or next to sources of heat  
(such as stove tops, ovens, etc.)  
G
Make sure the front grill is securely locked in place.  
G
A safety switch is installed behind the grill of your electronic  
Air Purifier. If the grill is not properly secured in place, the unit  
will not operate. If your unit fails to operate, remove the front  
grill and reinstall it, being sure that the lower right-hand side  
of the grill (next to the control panel) is firmly locked in place.

Collector Cell. Change as necessary for continued odor  
removal (fig. 5).  
of the air purifier.  
Cleaning the Cabinet  
You can clean the Air Purifier cabinet with mild, non-abrasive  
cleanser and a soft cloth. IMPORTANT: Unplug the unit from its  
electrical power source. Do not spray cleansers or furniture  
polish into louvers or grill areas.  
5.Slide off Pre-Filter. This can be cleaned with the Collector Cell  
and reused (fig. 6).  
NOTE: Handle the Electronic Collector Cell with care.  
Damaged metal plates and/or broken wires will cause the  
Air Purifier to malfunction. (Do not wash the disposable  
Charcoal Odor Absorber.)  
6.Oreck’s Assail-A-Cell® cleaner is an excellent way to clean an  
Electronic Collector Cell. Be sure to spray between each cell  
plate and cover every surface. Allow product to soak for a few  
minutes, not allowing it to dry. Rinse thoroughly with water.  
For extremely heavy deposits, repeat the process.  
If you prefer not to use Oreck’s Assail-A-Cell® cleaner, you  
may also decide to soak the Electronic Collector Cell in warm  
water in a kitchen sink or bathtub. Mild dish detergent (powder  
or liquid) may be added to the water to help break down the  
dirt on the Collector Cell. The Collector Cell should be allowed  
to soak for two to three hours.  
Cleaning the Electronic Collector  
Cell  
IMPORTANT: Do not try to clean the Collector  
Cell by inserting a cloth, brush, or other  
device between the cell plates. The Collector  
®
Cell should be cleaned with Oreck’s Assail-A-Cell cleaner  
or using soap and water (see  
Step 6, in this section). Inserting objects in the  
Collector Cell may damage it.  
Indicator light is green under normal operation and  
flashes red when the Collector Cell requires cleaning.  
The red "WASH CELL" light will flash or illuminate  
when it is time to clean your Collector Cell. Your Air Purifier is  
still filtering the air when the red light illuminates.  
Tobacco smoke (tar) is especially hard to remove from the  
Collector Cell. If the Purifier has been cleaning tobacco  
smoke, the Collector Cell may need to soak longer, or it may  
need to be cleaned a second time.  
It is not necessary to wait for the red "WASH CELL" light before  
cleaning the Collector Cell. Even if the “WASH CELL” light is not  
red, Oreck recommends cleaning the Collector Cell every 4 to 8  
weeks, or more often if snapping becomes frequent.  
In either case, the Collector Cell should be allowed to air dry  
before re-inserting it. Oreck does not recommend the use of  
heated or compressed air as part of the drying process.  
Cleaning your Oreck Air Purifier is a snap too... and a must for  
efficient operation. To clean proceed as follows:  
1.Turn the unit off and unplug it from the electric power source.

IMPORTANT: Dry the Collector Cell thoroughly outside of  
the Air Purifier before reinstalling it into the Air Purifier.  
Ensure that all areas including corners and areas that may  
trap water are dry before reinstalling into the Air Purifier.  
If the power indicator light is red after replacing Collector  
Cell, then the Collector Cell is still wet. Remove Collector  
Cell and allow it to finish drying  
Replacing The Charcoal Odor Absorber  
(Optional)  
In addition to air purification, your Oreck Air Purifier provides the  
additional benefit of odor removal. The odor removal function is  
optional. Your Oreck Air Purifier will continue to remove harmful  
airborne particles with its permanent Electronic Collector Cell  
even if you choose not to use the optional Charcoal Odor  
Absorber.  
Odor absorption effectiveness will gradually deteriorate over  
time unless the Charcoal Odor Absorber is replaced. While  
every environment is different, Oreck suggests that the Charcoal  
Odor Absorber be replaced every two months or as needed.  
IMPORTANT: DO NOT wash the Charcoal Odor Absorber.  
Replace, if necessary.  
Replacing Collector Cell After Cleaning  
1. Snap in the Charcoal Odor Absorber (fig. 5).  
2. Slide in the Pre-Filter (fig. 6).  
3. Slide Collector Cell into cabinet, using handles (fig. 4).  
4. Replace front grill. Unit is now ready for operation (fig. 3).  
NOTE: An occasional “arcing” sound is normal when  
operating the unit immediately after cleaning the Cell and  
should stop after a few minutes of operation.
