Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electric shock. The cord for this
appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. It must only be plugged into an electrical outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided with appliance.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is grounded. If not, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. It has a
grounding plug similar to the example shown. Make sure the
appliance is connected to an outlet with the same configuration
as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.

Operating Recommendations
This new ORECK XL Professional Grade Commercial Upright is one
of the finest, fastest, and strongest units in its class. You’ll love the
way it cleans, and it’s easy to use.
The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation:
1. When the disposable filter dust bag is full, REPLACE IT. When
inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag—FIRST PUFF
OUT and OPEN THE BAG.
2. Inspect and clean the filter at the vacuum motor inlet weekly.
3. If at any time the vacuum cleaner does not pick up properly or
makes an unusual noise, ST

small objects, it is recommended that these be removed from
the floor before you vacuum. Failure to do so may result in
permanent damage to the motor suction fan and its housing.
5.
WARNING: Do not use your vacuum cleaner on damp or wet
surfaces. This will cause damage to the vacuum cleaner and is
dangerous to the user. Damage caused by use on wet or damp
surfaces is not covered under warranty.
6. Change the disposable filter dust bag at least once a month—

To Clean or Replace Inlet Filter
The performance of your new vacuum cleaner greatly depends upon
care and maintenance. The instructions in this manual will guide you
in performing basic care and maintenance. To obtain the most satisfying
years of service read the instructions and keep them handy for future
reference.
Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags
Disposable paper filter dust bags play a very important role in the
efficiency of your ORECK vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the paper
bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to
allow air to pass through. If the paper bag becomes clogged, no air
can pass through the cleaner and cleaning cannot take place,
regardless of the cleaner’s power. Increase the CLEANING POWER
of your vacuum cleaner by changing the bag often.
o keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the
T
dust bag frequently.
Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.
All paper dust bags are not the same. Your ORECK recommended disposable dust bags have been designed to be used with the

of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.

Lubrication
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and
sealed. Further lubrication is not required.
General Vacuum Cleaner Care
At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint, string or
hair from revolving brush.
Wipe the outside of the vacuum cleaner with a damp cloth. Also clean
the base of cleaner and housing area.
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner looking new
and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.
CAUTION—Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor
Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes
Use floor and floor finish manufacturer’s recommended methods of
cleaning. The metal strip on the base of the vacuum cleaner could be
damaged if used on concrete or abrasive surfaces, and, therefore,
cause damage to wood floors, soft (vinyl, asphalt tile, etc.) floor
surfaces and polished floor finishes. The roller brush may also scuff
very soft finishes.
Electronic Brush Alert
The vacuum cleaner is equipped
with an electronic power brush
