Maintenance
Your Oreck Compact Vacuum Cleaner is a product of precise
engineering. The motor bearings are permanently lubricated and should
not be oiled.
Save your sales or purchase slip. Should your Oreck appliance require
warranty service, present this slip to the Authorized Service Center as
your proof of purchase date.
Important Electrical Information
MOTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM: If fine materials such as soot,
cement, plaster dust, copy machine powder, etc. are picked up,
the bag surface may seal and cause the motor to shut off to
avoid overheating. If this happens, turn the switch off and unplug
the cleaner. Replace filter bag. Check and clear any clogs in
hose or accessories. After approximately 30 minutes the motor
will have cooled and the cleaner will be ready to use.
Note: The cleaner must remain unplugged for 30 minutes
for motor to cool and system to reset.

Warranty
Alexander Nevsky Enterprises Inc. warrants the normal use of electrical
products during the warranty period if such products were used in
accordance with the user’s guide instructions.
The product must be purchased from Alexander Nevsky Enterprises Inc.
or a retail dealer authorized by Alexander Nevsky Enterprises Inc. If you
purchase this product from any other source, Alexander Nevsky
Enterprises Inc. grants you no warranty and you, not Alexander Nevsky
Enterprises Inc., assume the entire responsibility for the quality of this
product including the entire cost of any necessary servicing or repairs of
any defects.
The warranty period is three (3) years; ten years (10) for the housing. The
duration of your warranty period begins with the day of your purchase with
the condition that you have a correctly completed warranty certificate and
only under the conditions of normal domestic use. If the product is used
for commercial purposes as in restaurants, café’s, hotels, etc. this limited
warranty is automatically voided.
At your demand, any service center authorized by Alexander Nevsky
Enterprises Inc. will replace and/or repair all manufacturer’s defects free
of charge during the warranty period. Information about our service
centers in your region can be obtained from your sales person.
ATTENTION!
Be sure to check the accuracy of the warranty certificate, the signature of
the sales person, the correct date of purchase and stamp on the warranty
certificate!
This warranty doesn’t apply in cases of:
• abuse
• misuse
• incorrect warranty certificate or if changes have been made to the
warranty certificate
• intentional damage to product or the traces of inappropriate chemical
agents
• damages made by animals or insects
• the use of incorrect voltage other than indicated on the serial
number plate
• using the product in a different manner than it was produced for
• repairs, other intrusive procedures or the disassembling of the unit
performed by non-authorized repair facilities
• using other than manufacturer replacement parts
• damages caused by fire, flood or other reasons which are out of the
control of the manufacturer or the sales person of this product
Drive belts, revolving brushes, bulbs, disposable bags and other parts
subject to normal wear are not covered by this warranty. The amount of
warranty repairs cannot exceed the original purchase price..
Safeguards
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
• IMPORTANT: Make sure filter bag is in place. Do not operate
cleaner without filter bag. Damage to motor may occur.
• Be sure bag gasket is in place. If the white bag gasket is damaged or
lost, replace at once.
(Part No. 72017-02)
• For best results, change disposable filter bag regularly even if it is not
completely full. An extremely dirty bag or a bag close to full will affect
the suction of the cleaner and can create excessive motor heat that
could damage the motor. A good practice is to change filter bag every
30 days even if it is not full.
• Do not pick up moist material or liquids.
• If fine materials such as soot, cement, plaster dust, copy machine
powder, etc. are picked up, the bag surface may seal and suction will
be reduced. Change bag when this occurs.
• Clean the disposable bag cavity and the outside of the canister with a
damp (not wet) cloth.
