Safety

General Warnings

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Only use the air purier as described in this manual. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

• Do not use the air purier with a damaged cord or plug. Doing so may result in electric shock, serious injury or death. Have a qualied service technician replace any damaged cords or plugs.

• Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or similar oor coverings. Arrange cord away from trafc areas where it will not be tripped over.

• Do not handle the unit with wet hands. Doing so may result in electrical shock, serious injury or death. Thoroughly dry your hands before handling any part of the air purier.

CAUTION!

• Hair, loose clothing and body parts may get caught in the machine resulting in injury. Keep hair, loose clothing and body parts away from openings and moving parts.

• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. Doing so may result in electrical sparks and re. Unplug the unit by grasping, and pulling the plug.

• The Oreck DualMax™ is equipped with an ALCI (Appliance Leakage Current Interrupter). The ALCI shuts off the unit in potentially hazardous situations.

Note: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is larger than the other). The plug will t in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still will not t, contact qualied personnel to install a proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way. Do not try to defeat this safety feature.

Note: The ALCI has a Test and Reset button which should

be tested each time the unit is plugged in.

Do not remove the tag which provides test instructions

from around the cord at the ALCI.

TEST

(Gray)

DANGER: Improper installation of ALCI can result in

electric shock.

Do not modify or bypass the ALCI. Do not replace any

electrical component in this product with anything other than an authorized ORECK replacement part. The risk of electric shock can result if used in the vicinity of improperly grounded stationary appliances (stove, refrigerator, washer, etc.).

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Do not place the air purier near sources of heat, such as stove tops, ovens, radiators or computers.

Placement Warnings

WARNING!

• Do not use the air purier outdoors or on wet surfaces. Doing so may result in electric shock, serious injury or death. Use only indoors and under dry conditions.

• Do not use the air purier in an enclosed space where ammable, combustible or explosive gases are present.

• Do not use in an area where toxic vapors, ammable dust or oxygen tanks are present. Doing so may result in serious injury or death. Check the location and make sure these elements are not present.

CAUTION!

• Do not place open ames, including candles, directly in front of the air purier.

• Keep objects away from the air intake grille.

It is important to consider the following when deciding on where to locate the air purier:

• Position the air purier on a at, solid, stable surface. Never place the unit on soft surfaces such as a bed or sofa.

• Position the air purier where the dirty air is not drawn across your head or body while sitting or sleeping.

• Position the air purier so the plug on the power cord easily reaches a standard electrical outlet for a polarized plug.

• Disconnect power cord from the outlet before servicing.

Features

1. Pre-Filter: Filter large particles such as dust, hair and lint.

2. Cleaning brush: Use to clean the front and back grilles.

Stores snuggly in the compartment under the cover.

3. Odor Absorber System: This component combines

advanced catalytic technologies to reduce odors and chemical fumes from glues, solvents, and synthetic materials when air passes through the lter and is activated by the DualMax™ internal lights. (The Odor Absorber System cannot be removed.)

4. Truman Cell®: Electrostatically charges and collects small

particles such as dust, smoke, pollen, mold, and fungi from the air that passes through the lter.

the air purier to brush away debris in between the slots.

Cleaning the Pre-Filter

1. Unplug the air purier.

2. Open the Cover by gently pulling from the top cor-

ners.

3. Pull the Pre-Filter straight out of the Cabinet.

4. Thoroughly rinse the Pre-Filter and let it air dry be-

fore placing it back in the Cabinet. Do not use heated or compressed air as part of the drying process.

5. Slide the Pre-Filter back into the unit.

6. Close the Cover securely.

Cleaning the Truman Cell®

Note: The Truman Cell® may require more frequent clean-

ing if “arcing” occurs. Arcing is a sharp snapping sound that occurs when large particles are collected in the Truman Cell®. If prolonged or continuous arcing occurs, the Truman Cell®

should be cleaned.

1. Unplug the air purier.

2. Open the Cover by

gently pulling from the

top corners.

3. Remove the Truman Cell® by unlocking top and bottom knobs and pulling straight out.

4. Separate the Truman

from the Wire

Cell Assembly for easier access to each during cleaning.

5. Place each in sink,

bathtub or other location where cleaner can cover every surface.

6. Spray Oreck Assail-a-Cell® cleaner between each Cell Plate

and cover each surface. Allow the cleaner to soak for a few minutes but do not let it dry. Thoroughly rinse the Truman Cell® with clean water.

An alternative method to clean the Truman Cell® is to rinse

or soak it in warm water for loose debris. Mild liquid dish detergent in water may also be used to help break down tough dirt and residue. Thoroughly rinse the Truman Cell® with clean water.

Note: To prevent damage to the components of the Truman

Cell®, do not put in dishwasher or use a cotton swab.

Tough residue such as tar from tobacco smoke may need

additional cleaning or longer soaking.

7. Shake excess water from the Truman Cell® to speed up

drying time. Do not use heated or compressed air to dry.

8. Reassemble the Wire Assembly and Truman Cell® by

inserting the (4) post located on the outside edges of the Wire Assembly into the recessed channels of the Truman Cell®. After guiding the post into the recessed channels, slide the Wire Assembly until it locks into place.

9. Place the Truman Cell® back into the unit by sliding it

straight in and turning each knob to its locking position. The Truman Cell® is specially designed so that it can only be inserted in one direction.

10.Close the Cover securely.

Drying the Truman Cell

Note: The Truman Cell® must be completely dry after cleaning

in order to operate properly. A drying mode is available to help remove any residual moisture. While in this mode, the fan will be running on Medium speed, and no power will be supplied to the Truman Cell. Once the unit detects that the Truman Cell® is completely dry, it will return to its original operating settings and function as normal.

“Dry Mode” Operation

If the power supply detects that the Truman Cell® is wet, it shuts down power to the cell and causes the Collector Cell light to blink rapidly.

1. While the Collector Cell light is blinking, press and hold the power button to initiate “Dry Mode”.

2. Next, the following will all happen simultaneously:

• The lights directly above and below the power button will ash 3 times.

• The unit will switch to medium speed.

• The Collector Cell light will start to blink in a slow pattern.

3. Once in “Dry Mode”

• The unit will run for 60 minutes and then attempt to reset the power supply to the Truman Cell®.

• If the power supply successfully restarts, the unit will return to its original speed and run as normal.

• If not successful, it will go through the same process up to two more times.

• If still not successful after the third try, the cell is likely damaged or is shorting out due to the presence of a foreign object; it will return to the original speed and the Collector Cell light will blink with a rapid blink pattern indenitely until the unit is reset.

Cleaning the Exhaust Grille

1. Remove the Cleaning Brush from the storage slot located

under the Cover.

2. Brush away debris that has collected between the Grille

Slots.

3. Return the Cleaning Brush to the storage slot.
