Operating Recommendations This ORECK XL21 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. 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. 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. 4. 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 suction fan and its housing. 5. WARNING: Do not use your vacuum cleaner on damp or wet surfaces. This will cause damage to the vacuum cleaner and is dangerous to the user. Damage caused by use on wet or damp surfaces is not covered under warranty. 6. REPLACE THE BELT EVERY 6 MONTHS, SCENT CARTRIDGE EVERY MONTH, AND MOTOR FILTER EVERY 2 MONTHS. 7. Change the disposable filter dust bag at least once a month-even if it is not full! The collected dust in the dust bag can cause odor, attract moisture, and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner. 8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving brush could damage the cord. 9. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and fringe. General Information The performance of your cleaner 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. 5
