Operating Recommendations
This new ORECK XL21 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.
Although your upright will pick up pins, paper clips, and other small
4. 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.

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 filter bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the filter bag becomes clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and cleaning cannot take place, regardless of the cleaner’s power. Increase the CLEANING POWER of your cleaner by changing the bag at least once a month—even if it is not full!
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 disposable bags will affect the cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.
EPA-Celoc
H
The HEPA-Celoc 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. Hand wash the outer bag, turned inside out with warm water and air dry HEPA-Celoc outer bag can be replaced for renewed efficiency. The Celoc layered disposable inner dust bag must be replaced once a month even if it extremely dirty areas.

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.
Motor Filter
The motor filter is used to filter tiny particles released by the motor exhaust while in operation. The motor filter is not necessary for operation but is helpful in removing contaminants from the air.
NOTE: Motor filter should be replaced every two months for best performance.
Oreck Fresh Air®Cartridges
An Oreck Fresh Air®Cartridge adds a desired fragrance to the air while vacuuming. It is placed behind the motor filter and uses heat and air generated from the motor to spread the fragrance.
NOTE: Cartridge should be replaced every month when filter dust bag is replaced or as desired.
Lubrication
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed. Further lubrication is not required.

Using an Oreck Fresh Air®Tab
fig. 29 Your ORECK XL21 vacuum cleaner has a special ORECK

Stuffing or Blockage
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 ef 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:
ARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
W outlet before servicing.
fig. 30 Check for blockage at the mouth of the intake opening. If there
is blockage, remove it with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger. If you can not reach the blockage, remove baseplate.
