   The performance of your new vacuum 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.

Your Oreck includes HEPA Odor Fighting Inner Bag. The disposable inner bag plays a very important role in efficiency of your Oreck vacuum. The purpose of the disposable inner bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the disposable inner bag becomes clogged, no air can pass through the vacuum and cleaning cannot take place, regardless of the vacuum's power.

To keep your upright vacuum operating at maximum efficiency, change the disposable inner bag frequently.

• Do not fill above the line indicated on the disposable inner bag.
• Be sure the disposable inner bag is installed properly.

NOTE: All disposable inner bags are not the same.

Oreck offers HEPA and non-HEPA inner bags. Your Oreck HEPA or non-HEPA inner bags have been designed to be used with the Oreck upright vacuum. Using bags other than genuine Oreck HEPA or non-HEPA disposable inner a bag will affect the cleaning ability of your vacuum and could cause damage to it.

STUFFING OR BLOCKAGE

IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stuffing may occur inside 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 vacuum, many older carpets will cause stuffing when the vacuum is first used on them. If your vacuum does not pick up properly, or makes unusual noise and the outer bag does not fluff up or balloon open, follow these steps:

WARNING:
electric shock or injury from moving parts - Unplug before cleaning or servicing.

1.

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.

1. To finish reassembly, replace and tighten collar clockwise until collar locking tabs are locked in place.
   NOTE: Many times, blockage occurs due to a full disposable inner 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 disposable inner bag connects to the connector assembly. If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact an Oreck authorized service center or call the customer service center.

MAINTENANCE

If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a service center prior to continuing use.

Any other servicing should be done by an authorized service representative.

You'll love the way your Oreck cleans under things and is so lightweight and easy to use. The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operations:

• When inserting a new disposable inner bag, first puff out and open the bag.
• When the disposal inner bag is full, replace it.
• Check the disposable inner bag at least once a month.
• Do not run the vacuum over the cord. The revolving brush could damage the cord.
• Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and fringe.
• If at any time the machine does not pick up properly or makes an unusual noise, stop operation and service.
• Although your upright will pick up pins, paper clips, and other 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 section fan and it's housing.

THE BELT

- Discover™ is equipped with the Enduralife™ Belt, which is designed for a long life and doesn't need changing.

MOTOR PROTECTION/VACUUM SHUT DOWN

A thermal protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the thermal protector activates the cleaner will stop running and the headlights will flash.

If this happens proceed as follows:

1. Turn cleaner OFF and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
2. Check fullness of bag, change if needed.
3. Clear any large obstruction or blockage from the vacuum. (Stuffing or Blockage)
4. When cleaner is unplugged and motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector will deactivate and cleaning may continue.

If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner needs servicing.

LUBRICATION: The motor and brushroll are equipped with bearings which contain sufficient lubrication for their lifetime. The addition of lubricant could cause damage. Do not add lubricant to motor or brushroll.

CORD STORAGE

Wrap cord around hooks for convenient storage. Attach the plug end to the cord.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury from moving parts - Unplug before cleaning or servicing.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with no visible text or symbols

At least once a month, check for and remove excess lint, string or hair from the revolving brushroll. Patented cleaning grooves on the brushroll will allow easier cleaning. Wipe the outside of the vacuum with a damp cloth. Also clean the connector deflector assembly area base of vacuum 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 upright vacuum looking new and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.

REPLACING THE BRUSHROLL

The brush roll is designed for long life. Should it ever become worn or frayed, it can be replaced by an Oreck authorized service center.
