Disposable Odor Fighting Dust Bags
Disposable Odor 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 enough to allow air to pass 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 genuine ORECK TYPE CC disposable bags will affect the cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause
damage to it.
Microban
®
Oreck added Microban
®
to the key touchpoints of the unit (handle, bag dock, baseplate and top cover) while
manufacturing this upright vacuum cleaner in order to inhibit the growth of bacteria in and on the vacuum. When
microbes, such as bacteria, mold and mildew come in contact with the product surface, Microban
®
penetrates the
cell wall and disrupts key functions so they cannot grow or reproduce. Your Oreck will stay cleaner, longer.
HEPA-Celoc
®
Hypo-Allergenic Filter System
The HEPA-Celoc outer bag of your vacuum cleaner is high filtration medical material designed to filter the smallest
of dust particles. It is important the inside of the outer bag be cleaned. Vacuum the inside of the outer bag as needed.
If desired, the HEPA-Celoc outer bag can be replaced for renewed efficiency. The Celoc layered disposable inner
dust bag is designed for optimal performance. Depending on cleaning environment, it may need to be changed as
often as once a month. Change it more often if it is used in extremely dirty areas. Increase the cleaning power of
your vacuum by changing the bag often.

Your new Oreck Upright features the 360º Glide turning system. The 360º Glide offers an
entirely new level of maneuverability to your lightweight Oreck Upright. No installation
necessary. Simply turn the handle of your Oreck Upright to maneuver the unit. Go left, Go
right, make sharp turns under and around furniture.
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 other than Oreck belts will not operate the revolving brush correctly and may create undue
stress which will cause damage to the motor and brush bearings. Using belts other than ORECK belts will void
the warranty.
Lubrication
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed. Further lubrication is not required.
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 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. Wipe the outside
of the cleaner with a damp cloth. Also clean the connector deflector assembly area, base of
cleaner and fan housing area. If there is dust in the outer bag, vacuum it or shake it out.
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner looking new and will ensure
continued cleaning effectiveness.
