4
•Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline or lighter fluid, or use in areas where they may be present.
•Do not use appliance in an enclosed space where flammable, explosive or toxic vapors are given off by oil base paint, paint thinner, some mothproofing substances, or in an area where flammable dust is present.
•Do not pick up toxic material such as chlorine bleach, drain cleaner, gasoline, etc. with this appliance.
•Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and fringe.
Polarized Plug
A polarized plug has one rounded prong and one straight prong. The rounded end goes into the longest socket slot. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polar- ized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.

Replacing the Disposable Inner Bag
When the disposable inner bag is full you will need to replace the bag with a new one. Use only genuine Oreck filter bags.
For best results, change disposable inner 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 exces- sive motor heat that could damage the motor.
To replace the inner bag:
1.Push down on the inner bag door release button located above the hose inlet.
2.Rotate the inner bag door down.
3.Pull the inner bag out.
4.Insert a new inner bag by fitting the cardboard rim between the tabs inside the recessed bag holder.
5.Close the inner bag door.

Replacing the Micro Filter
The micro filter is extra protection against dust and dirt getting into the vacuum motor. To keep your vacuum running in top condition you will want to change the micro filter when it gets dirty.
To replace the micro filter:
1.Follow steps 1-3 on page 12, Replacing the Disposable
Inner Bag.
4.To remove the Micro Filter, lift up on the recessed finger tab and pull out.
5.Remove the Micro Filter from the Micro Filter Frame.
6.Replace by pressing a new Micro Filter onto the tab located on the underside of the Micro Filter Frame.
7.Insert the Micro Filter Frame into the housing under the ribs located at the back of the housings, and locate the rear tab between the ribs.
8.Insert the inner bag back into place, and close the inner bag door.
IMPORTANT: Never remove the white gasket surrounding the inner bag opening. The vacuum will leak air and not
run properly.
