Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags  
Assembly  
Disposable paper filter dust bags play a very important role in the  
efficiency of your ORECK vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the filter 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 cleaner by  
changing the bag at least once a month–even if it is not full!  
fig. 1 Before assembling appliance, remove two screws from  
connector assembly. Remove cardboard insert by pulling  
upward.  
fig. 2 With On/Off switch facing the front of the unit, slide upper handle  
section over matching section of the connector assembly. Insert  
short screw into top hole and long screw into bottom hole then  
tighten firmly until handle is no longer loose.  
DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED ON THE DUST BAG.  
Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.  
fig. 3 Attach cord to cord clip by pressing cord above and below clip  
All paper 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.  
ensuring the cord is fully rested in clip.  
Operating Instructions  
The Belt  
Make sure disposable paper filter dust bag is in place. DO NOT operate  
the cleaner without a paper filter dust bag. Plug the power cord into an  
electrical outlet and press the On(l) - OFF(O) switch on handle assembly  
when ready to operate.  
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.  
Up-Position Lock  
fig. 4 Place foot on power head and lean handle back gently to release  
lock for vacuum use. Return handle to the full upright position to  
engage lock.  
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.  
NOTE: 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.

Operating Recommendations  
This new ORECK XL High-Speed Upright is one of the finest, fastest,  
and strongest units in its class. You’ll love the way it cleans, gets under  
things, and it’s SO lightweight and easy to use.  
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.  
The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation:  
1. When inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag—FIRST  
PUFF OUT and OPEN THE BAG.  
A little preventative maintenance will keep  
your cleaner looking new and will ensure  
continued cleaning effectiveness.  
2. When the disposable filter dust bag is full, REPLACE IT.  
3. If at any time the machine does not pick up properly or makes an  
unusual noise, STOP OPERATION and service.  
CAUTION—Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor  
Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes  
4. Although your upright will pick up pins, paper clips, and other small  
4
 
Use floor and floor finish manufacturer’s recommended methods of  
cleaning. The metal strip on the base of the 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. 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.  
fig. 17 Reassemble the belt and the baseplate and check bristle height  
above baseplate at each end of brush.  
If a previous adjustment has already been made and bristle height does  
not extend above baseplate, a new brush assembly should be ordered.  
IMPORTANT: Unless the brush is worn as indicated above, both  
bearings must be in the “NEW” position. When rotating, both  
bearings must be in the “OLD” position. Unmatched settings will  
cause damage to your machine.  
Using an Oreck Fresh Air® Tab  
XL36R7HH: Celoc® Hypo-Allergenic Filter System  
The Celoc SMMS 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. Hand wash the outer  
bag, turned inside out with warm water and allow it to air dry. For best  
results, the Celoc SMMS outer bag should be replaced once a year.  
The Celoc layered disposable inner dust bag must be replaced once a  
month even if it is not full. Change it more often if it is used in extremely  
dirty areas. Increase the cleaning power of your vacuum by changing  
the bag often.  
fig. 21 Your ORECK XL vacuum cleaner has a special ORECK FRESH  
AIR® tab pocket. This light-colored pocket is located inside the  
vinyl bag in the area where the paper disposable bag attaches  
to the intake tube. Insert tablet in pocket if desired.  
Bulb Replacement  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
fig. 22 Remove lamp housing by removing two (2) screws in the the  
top of the lamp housing. Pull burned out bulb from holder and  
replace with new bulb. Use only Oreck replacement parts.  
Reassemble lamp housing by replacing two screws in the top of  
the lamp housing.  
To Replace Filter Dust Bag  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
BAG REMOVAL:  
Stuffing or Blockage  
fig. 7 Unzip outer bag completely.  
fig. 8 Pull bag cardboard collar to release bag dock door from  
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 these steps:  
connector. Bag dock door will hinge downward.  
fig. 9 Gently pull bag cardboard collar upward out of the bag dock.

fig. 11 Firmly push bag dock door with both thumbs on indication point  
until it snaps.  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
How to Replace a Worn Belt  
fig. 23 Check for blockage at the mouth of the intake opening. If there  
is blockage, remove it with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or  
coat hanger. If you can not reach the blockage, remove  
baseplate (fig. 24).  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.

coat hanger.  
fig. 28 If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing. Remove debris  
with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.  
fig. 29 To reassemble, check O-ring on tube, and replace if damaged.  
Vacuum will not operate properly without the tube O-ring. Slide  
O-ring to approximately 2" from base of tube. Replace tube by  
first lining up slot at base of tube with inner tab inside fan  
housing. Then reinsert tube and push down until the tube is  
seated. Make sure O-ring is in place against fan housing  
opening. Replace and tighten collar until collar locking tabs are  
locked in place.  
fig. 14 Replace the door by sliding it into the groove at the bottom of  
the housing.  
fig. 13 Replace the hold down screw and tighten.  
To Adjust or Replace Brush  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
fig. 27 Make sure collar is not cross threaded on housing. Reattach  
bag spring (fig. 25).  
fig. 17 To determine if the brush is worn, place a firm straight edge  
across the nozzle opening. If brush bristles do not extend  
beyond baseplate, brush should be adjusted.  
fig. 30 Many times blockage occurs due to a full dust bag causing dirt to  
back down the air flow system. When that happens, the  
blockage will be at the top of the system, starting in the area  
where the dust bag connects to the connector assembly.  
fig. 18 Remove the baseplate by removing 5 screws.  
fig. 19 Remove the belt and brush roll from the housing.  
fig. 20 Rotate both bearing assemblies at ends of brush roll to show  
"OLD" and replace in the holding channels in the housing.  
NOTE: The bearing assembly setting marked "OLD" has no ribs on the  
top of the assembly. The one marked "NEW" has several ribs. When  
rotating bearings, make sure both bearing assembly settings are the  
same and face up when replacing the brush roll.
