Disposable Odour Fighting Dust Bags
Disposable Odour Fighting dust bags play a very important role in the efficiency of your ORECK vacuum cleaner.
The purpose of the dust bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enoug
through. If the dust bag becomes clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and cleaning cannot take place,
regardless of the cleaner’s power.
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust bag frequently.
DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED ON THE DUST BAG.
Be sure the disposable filter dust bag is installed properly. Note:All disposable filter dust bags are not the same.
Your ORECK disposable dust bags have been designed to be used with the ORECK cleaner. Using bags other than

Oreck added Intellashield™ Technology to various touch points, including the handle, outer bag, and bag dock while

The HEPA-Celoc® outer bag of your vacuum cleaner is high filtration medical material designed to filter the smallest

The Belt
The belt on your vacuum cleaner controls the speed of the revolving brush and is very important for the effective
operation of the cleaner. If the belt becomes stretched or cut, it will cause the revolving brush to stop completely or
slow down. See instructions in the manual for replacing belt.
Note: An extra belt is stored in the baseplate of your cleaner. When buying replacement belts, use ONLY ORECK
genuine belts. Belts

Lubrication
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed. Further lubrication is not required.
Use floor and floor finish manufacturer’s recommended methods of cleaning. The roller
brush may also scuff very soft finishes. Do not operate the unit while in the upright and locked position. Do not let
the unit run while in any one stationary position for any period of time. Keep the unit moving while in operation.
Note: At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint, string or hair from
revolving brush. Patented cleaning grooves on brush roll will allow easier cleaning.

Using an Oreck Fresh Air®Tab
Your ORECK XL10 vacuum cleaner has a special ORECK FRESH AIR®tab pocket.
This pocket is located inside the outer cloth bag in the area where the Odour Fighting
filter dust bag attaches to the intake tube. Insert tablet in pocket if desired.
Stuffing or Blockage
IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stuffing may occur inside the the intake tube and the lower tube assembly. This is due to excessive
fuzz and loose cuttings in the carpet. Stuffing could occur for the first few cleanings until all the loose material is removed. Due to the high
efficiency of the cleaner, many older carpets will cause stuffing when the cleaner is first used on them. If your vacuum cleaner does not pick
up properly, or makes unusual noise and the outer bag does not fluff up or balloon open, follow th
