USE & MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
1. When you have finished steam cleaning, ensure the ORECK
VersaVac’s function selector dial is turned to the “OFF”
position and that the plug is removed from the wall.
2. Empty the remaining water from the water tank.
3. Remove Microfiber steam mop pad and launder. The steam
pads can be machine washed in hot water, up to 140˚F. For
heavily soiled pads, soak in warm water with detergent or a
mild stain remover. Allow cloths to dry completely before
storing. NOTE: DO NOT USE FABRIC SOFTENER
Replacing the Hard Water Filter
The hard water filter will help filter minerals that
reduce the effectiveness of the steam cleaner.
Depending on hard water conditions and/or use
frequency, the filter should be replaced every 12
months.
The Oreck VersaVac™ will work using plain tap water. However,
if you live in a hard water area, the minerals that form the hard
water will reduce the life of the water filter installed in the Oreck
VersaVac. This will eventually allow deposits to build up in the
heater of your product, which will reduce its performance. To
prolong the life of your filter and heater, we recommend using
distilled or de-mineralized water in your product in hard water
areas.
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet
before servicing.
Brushroll Maintenance
A little preventative maintenance will
keep your ORECK VersaVac™ looking
new and will ensure continued
cleaning effectiveness. Remove
brushroll at least once a month to
check for and remove excessive lint,
string or hair from the revolving
brushroll.
When the brushroll stalls, the “BRUSHROLL ON” light will flash.
To reset turn switch to off and back on. If an obstruction is
present, unplug unit and remove the obstructing object. Plug
the unit back in and the VersaVac is ready to clean.
IMPORTANT: To remove brushroll, rotate brushroll release
screw 1/4 turn until the indicator is aligned with the “unlock”
symbol.
Replacing the Brushroll
The brushroll is designed for long life. Should it ever become
worn or frayed, it can be replaced by an ORECK authorized
Service Center.

Exhaust Filter Maintenance
Remove filter cover by pushing down on the tab and pulling away from
the unit. Remove filter from the back side of cover and rinse until
clean, then allow the filter to dry thoroughly before placing it back in
the filter cover. Install the filter cover by aligning the bottom of the
cover with the unit and then pivoting the cover into place. Cover will
make a “snap” sound when it is in place.
Vacuum Filter Maintenance
Remove dust bin from unit. Pull filter assembly from the dust bin.
Rotate course outer filter counter clockwise and remove the course
filter. Rotate main filter counter clockwise and remove the main
filter. Pull foam outer filter off the bottom of the main filter. Rinse
the course filter, foam filter, and main filter and allow to dry thoroughly
before reassembling the filter. Place foam filter back over the main
filter from the bottom. Insert the main filter into the filter housing.
Rotate main filter clockwise to install the main filter. Place the coarse
filter over the main filter and align the unlock symbol with the arrow
on the coarse filter. Rotate course outer filter clockwise until you
hear a “click” to install the course filter. Place filter assembly back
into the dust bin. Replace the dust bin back into the unit.
