Polarized Plug Notice
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.

Introduction
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 your home
or office with the luxury of clean air living.
Airborne particles and odors are removed from air passing
through the unit by the process of electrostatic precipitation
and an activated charcoal odor absorber.
How Your Oreck Air Purifier Works
1.
Polluted air enters the Air Purifier through the front grill. As
(fig.1)
the air is pulled through, a Pre-Filter helps trap large particles
(hair, lint, etc.).
2. A Positive Charging Wire electrostatically charges smaller
particles (dust, smoke, pollen).
3. The positively charged particles then enter the negatively
charged Electronic Collector Cell, where the aluminum plates
attract and retain the particles. It works like a powerful
magnet and the particles remain until the Electronic Collector
Cell is cleaned.
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.
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.
Finally, electronically cleaned air passes back into the room
through the top grill.
Oreck Air Purifier Placement and Start-Up
1. 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.
2. Insert the Charcoal Odor Absorber. 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 Charcoal Odor
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.
1. MAIN POWER SWITCH: Turn the unit on by sliding the power
switch to the fan speed you prefer
(fig. 2):
( • • • ) for maximum cleaning
( • • ) for medium cleaning
( • ) for low cleaning
Each setting uses a different fan speed, changing the air flow
through the Collector Cell. Regardless of the setting, the
Collector Cell will continue to clean the air effectively.
2. POWER INDICATOR LIGHT: The indicator light will glow
green when the power is on.
NOTE: You may notice an occasional infrequent 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 (See “Cleaning Collector Cell”).

Cleaning
The Cabinet
You can clean the Air Purifier cabinet with mild, non-abrasive
cleanser and a soft cloth.
electrical power source. Do not spray cleansers or furniture
polish into louvers or grill areas.
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.
Oreck recommends cleaning the Collector Cell every four to
eight weeks, or more often if snapping becomes frequent.
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.
If wall mounted, remove unit from wall.
2. Remove front grill by pressing both buttons under the grill on
the cabinet bottom
3. Pull the Collector Cell out of the cabinet by using the two
small handles on the front of the Cell
4. Snap off the Charcoal Odor Absorber from the back of the
Collector Cell. Change as necessary for continued odor
removal
(fig. 5).
5. Slide off Pre-Filter. The permanent filter should be rinsed off
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 Charcoal Odor
Absorber; it is disposable.)
IMPORTANT: Unplug the unit from its

Instructions
WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS ELECTRONIC AIR PURIFIER
WHEN OXYGEN TANKS ARE BEING USED OR IN THE
PRESENCE OF COMBUSTIBLE GASES.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
●
Place or mount the Air Purifier near a standard electrical
outlet. Do not block either the air intake or outlet grill.
●
Never place your Air Purifier on soft surfaces (such as bed,
sofas or carpet), near computers or next to sources of heat
(such as stove tops, ovens, etc.)
●
Make sure the front grill is securely locked in place.
●
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.
●
Plug the power cord into the nearest available standard
electrical outlet. (See data label on bottom of your Air Purifier
for electrical specifications and power consumption.)

Replacing 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 snapping or popping sound
(“arcing”) is normal when operating the unit immediately
after cleaning the Collector Cell and should stop after a few
minutes of operation.

Cleaning the Electronic Collector Cell:
6. Oreck’s Assail-A-Cell®cleaner is an excellent way to clean a
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 use Oreck’s Assail-A-Cell
also decide to soak the 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.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT:
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.
Dry the Collector Cell thoroughly outside

Replacing The Charcoal Odor Absorber
(Optional)
In addition to air purification, your Oreck 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.
