Operating Instructions  
To O p e ra te  
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.  
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.  
Ge n e ra l In fo rm a tio n  
An tib a cte ria l Te ch n o lo g y  
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.  
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.  
O p e ra tin g Re co m m e n d a tio n s  
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.  
Th e Be lt  
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.  
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. WARN IN G: 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.  
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.  
Lu b rica tio n  
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated  
and sealed. Further lubrication is not required.  
Ge n e ra l Cle a n e r Ca re  
At least once a month, check  
for and remove excessive lint,  
string or hair from revolving  
brush.  
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.  
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.  
9. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and  
fringe.  
Disp o sa b le Pa p e r Filte r Du st Ba g s  
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 cleaners  
power.  
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner  
looking new and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.  
CAUTIO N —Wo o d Flo o rs, So ft (Vin y l, Asp h a lt Tile ,  
e tc.) Flo o r Su rfa ce s a n d Po lish e d Flo o r Fin ish e s  
Use floor and floor finish manufacturers 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.  
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.

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:  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
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

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.
