SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Household Use Only
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 polarized 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.
Thank you for purchasing the Oreck U4300 Graphite series upright vacuum cleaner. The U4300 Graphite fea-
tures a 6-year limited warranty, high speed for cleaning carpet and low speed for cleaning bare floors and the
HEPA Filtration Odor Fighting Bag captures dust & dirt that goes in the bag so it doesn’t blow back into the air.
