Grounding Information

s CAUTION s

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

s WARNING s

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug

illustrated in Sketch A (see next column). A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketch B (see next column) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole r available.

Carpet and Area Rug

Applications

Dry Carpet Cleaning

(For deep cleaning carpet and rugs)

The Oreck Dry Carpet Cleaning System®is the easiest and most effective way to keep your carpet and rugs looking

lean and beautiful. It effectively removes dirt and grime

c that vacuums cannot. Unlike many carpet extractors, steam cleaners or steam cleaning services, it will not leave a soapy or sticky residue on your carpet that will attract dirt and cause rapid resoiling. It is safe for use in homes with children and pets.

Equipment and Material Required:

• Orbiter®Multi-Floor Machine

• Black Drive Pad Holder

• White Terrycloth Bonnet (for berber or low-pile carpets) or Black Carpet Brush (for medium- or highpile carpets)

• Oreck Premist

• Oreck Dry Carpet Cleaner

Procedure:

Spray Premist® Soil Release Pre-Spray on the carpet in

a 6 ft by 6 ft area.

2. Sprinkle Dry Carpet Cleaner over the treated area (do not over use).

3. Work the Dry Carpet Cleaner into the carpet with the Orbiter terrycloth bonnet (for berber or low-pile carpets) or black carpet brush (for medium- or high-pile carpets).

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until the whole carpet has been treated. The carpet can be walked on during or immediately after the treatment with no ill effects.

5. When the white terrycloth bonnet becomes soiled, turn it over. When the job is complete, clean the white terrycloth bonnet in the washing machine using cold water or hose off and allow to air dry.

6. After waiting at least 30 minutes, vacuum the treated areas with an Oreck vacuum cleaner.

Sandscreening

Wood Floors)

(

Sandscreening is ideal for refinishing the polyurethane coating on hard wood floors. The procedure is not designed to totally remove the old polyurethane, but smooth out imperfections and prime the floor for a new

resh coating. However, polyurethane coatings are

f generally very durable and look good for a long time - try a thorough cleaning before refinishing the polyurethane coating to see if the luster can be restored.

Equipment and Material Required:

• Orbiter®Multi-Floor Machine

• Black Drive Pad Holder

• Brown Strip Pad

• Sand Screen 60 grit

• Sand Screen 80 grit

• Sand Screen 100 grit

• Broom or Dust Mop

• Vacuum Cleaner

• Tack Rags

Procedure:

Use Orbiter®Multi-Floor Machine and the brown strip pad.

2. Place #60 grit sand screen disc under brown strip

pad. Sand the floor. Remove residue by vacuuming or sweeping the floor in the same direction as the boards.

3. Place a #80 sand screen disc under the brown strip

pad. Sand the floor.

4. Sweep and vacuum the floor, then tack rag

THOROUGHLY.

5. Apply finish according to manufacturer’s

recommendations.

6. Burnish between coats with #100 grit sand screen

disc and tack rag.

Surface Cleaning and Waxing Waxed Hard Wood Floors

Waxed Hard Wood Floor

This procedure should be used on WAX FINISH floors only.

Equipment and Material Required:

• Orbiter®Multi-Floor Machine Black Drive Pad Holder

•

• Lamb’s Wool Bonnet

• Tan Polish Brush (Union Mix)

• White Polish Pad (optional)

• Paste Wax, 1 lb.

• Indian Sand Paste Wax Dust Mop

s white polish pad to restore luster.

3. To apply paste wax: Attach black drive pad holder to

Orbiter

Multi-Floor Machine. Apply a tablespoon

of paste wax on 4 sections of white polish pad. Place

hite polish pad on floor and center black drive pad

older onto pad. Work Orbiter

M in a forward/back motion and spread out the paste wax to a thin coat. Allow paste wax to dry for 5 minutes. Turn white polish pad over to clean side

nd buff. Use tan polish brush or lamb’s wool bonnet

a to obtain a higher luster.

Helpful Hints:

When floor looks dull, try buffing first to see if that will restore the luster before re-waxing.

2. When areas of heavy use no longer respond to

buffing, wax only those areas and buff all of the floor to an even luster.

3. Use clear paste wax to retain the floor’s natural color.

Use Indian Sand Paste Wax to add a little color and help blend in blemishes on old floors.
