Inner Filter Bag
Your Oreck includes an HEPA Odor F ighting
In ner B ag. The disposable inner bag pl ays
a very important role in the efficiency of
your ORECK vacuum. The purpose of the
disposable inner bag is to trap dirt, but at
the same time it must be porous enough
to allow air to pass through. If the
disposable inner bag becomes clogged, no
air can pass through the vacuum and
cleaning cannot take place, regardless of
the vacuum’s power.
To keep your upright vacuum operating at
ma ximum efficiency, change the disp osable
inner bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE
12
11
THE LINE INDICATED ON THE
DISPOSABLE INNER BAG.
Be sure the disposable inner bag is installed properly. NOTE: All
disposable inner bags are not the same. Oreck offers HEPA and
no n-HEPA inner ba gs. Yo ur Oreck HEPA or non-H EPA inner ba gs
have bee n designed to be us ed with the ORECK Upright vacu um.
Using bags other than genuine Oreck HEPA or non-HEPA
disposable inner bags will affect the cleaning ability of your
vacuum and could cause damage to it.
