CAUTION—Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor
Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes
Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags
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 filter bag becomes clogged, no air can pass
through the cleaner and cleaning cannot take place, regardless of the
cleaner’s power.
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.
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust
bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED ON THE
DUST BAG.
To Replace Filter Dust Bag
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.
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.
BAG REMOVAL:
fig. 11 Unzip outer bag completely.
fig. 12 Pull bag cardboard collar to release bag dock door from
connector. Bag dock door will hinge downward.
fig. 13 Gently pull bag cardboard collar upward out of the bag dock.
HEPA-Celoc® Hypo-Allergenic Filter System
Saniseal® dust seal will close automatically.
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 or hand wash, turned inside out, with warm water, and air
dry. If desired, the HEPA-Celoc outer bag can be replaced for renewed
efficiency. 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.
BAG INSTALLATION:
fig. 14 Slide the cardboard collar completely onto bag dock door.
fig. 15 Firmly push bag dock door with both thumbs on indication point
until it snaps.
Bulb Replacement
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
The Belt
fig. 16 Remove lamp housing by removing two (2) screws in the top of
the lamp housing. Pull burned out bulb from holder and replace
with new bulb. Replace lamp housing by replacing two screws
in the top of the lamp housing.
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.
How to Replace a Worn Belt
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.
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
fig. 17 Remove the replacement belt from the storage channel.
fig. 18 Remove the door by removing the hold down screw located on
Motor Filter
side of power head.
The motor filter is used to filter tiny particles released by the motor
exhaust while in operation. The motor filter is not necessary for
operation but is helpful in removing contaminants from the air.
fig. 19 Fold door away from the power head and lift it away.
fig. 20 Remove the belt from the motor drive shaft and brush roll pulley.
fig. 21 Loop the new belt over the brush roll pulley. Place the opposite

end of the belt on the motor drive shaft.
fig. 19 Replace the door by placing the bottom tab on door into slots
located inside power head and pressing the door closed.
A fresh air cartridge adds a desired fragrance to the air while
vacuuming. It is placed behind the motor filter and uses heat and air
generated from the motor to spread the fragrance.

is replaced or as desired.
Lubrication
Your Oreck Vacuum comes with the brush roll set at the NORMAL
position for most types of carpets. When using vacuum primarily on
Berber Carpets, adjust brush roll to the SPECIAL setting.
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed.
Further lubrication is not required.
General Cleaner Care

string or hair from revolving brush. Patented cleaning grooves
on brush roll will allow easier cleaning.
belt and brush roll from the housing.
fig. 23 Rotate both end cards of the brush roll to show “SPECIAL” and
replace in the holding channels of the housing.
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.
fig. 24 NOTE: The one marked “SPECIAL” has several ribs on top of
the end card.
fig. 25 The brush end card setting marked “NORMAL” has one rib.
When rotating bearings, make sure both end card assembly
settings are the same and face up when replacing the brush roll.
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner looking
new and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.
fig. 22 Reassemble the belt and the baseplate.
6
fig. 33 To reassemble, check O-ring on tube, and replace if damaged.
Replace tube by first lining up slot at base of tube with tab inside
fan housing. Insert 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. Reattach bag spring (fig. 32).
Edge Brush Replacement
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
fig. 26 Turn the power head over. With baseplate facing up, remove the
screw located in the center of each edge brush. Remove both
edge brushes and replace with new ones. Replace both screws
and tighten.
fig. 36 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.
NOTE: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact an
Oreck authorized service center or call the customer service center
at: 0845 603 0153.
Motor Filter and Oreck Fresh Air®
Scent Cartridge Replacement
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
The Motor Filter located at the back of the power head should be
replaced every 2 months. The Scent Disk should be replaced every
month when changing the inner filter bag.
fig. 27 Press two locking tabs on cartridge cover and remove the cover.
fig. 28 Remove the cartridge holder by lifting on tab at top of holder.
fig. 29 Remove old filter or scent disk from holder. Replace filter or
scent disk and reinsert holder.
Replace cover by aligning tabs on cover with slots in housing and
pressing the cover in place until cover tabs lock.
Using an Oreck Fresh Air® Tab
fig. 30 Your ORECK XL7 vacuum cleaner has a special Oreck FRESH
AIR® tab pocket. This pocket is located inside the outer bag in
the area where the disposable paper 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
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:
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
fig. 31 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. 22).
fig. 32 If the blockage is not at the base, remove lower tube. Unhook
retainer spring, releasing bottom of bag.
fig. 33 Twist lower collar counterclockwise to slide up. Pull tube out of
base.
fig. 34 Check for blockage. If blockage is in the tube, remove with a
coat hanger.
fig. 35 If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing. Remove debris with
long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.
