USE & MAINTENANCE

Maintenance

When you have ﬁnished steam cleaning, ensure the ORECK VersaVac’s function selector dial is turned to the “OFF” position and that the plug is removed from the wall.
Empty the remaining water from the water tank.
Remove Microﬁber steam mop pad and launder. The steam pads can be machine washed in hot water, up to 140˚F. For heavily soiled pads, soak in warm water with detergent or a mild stain remover. Allow cloths to dry completely before storing. NOTE: DO NOT USE FABRIC SOFTENER

Replacing the Hard Water Filter
The hard water ﬁlter will help ﬁlter minerals that reduce the effectiveness of the steam cleaner. Depending on hard water conditions and/or use frequency, the ﬁlter should be replaced every 12 months.

The Oreck VersaVac™ will work using plain tap water. However, if you live in a hard water area, the minerals that form the hard water will reduce the life of the water ﬁlter installed in the Oreck VersaVac. This will eventually allow deposits to build up in the heater of your product, which will reduce its performance. To prolong the life of your ﬁlter and heater, we recommend using distilled or de-mineralized water in your product in hard water areas.

WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.

Brushroll Maintenance

A little preventative maintenance will keep your ORECK VersaVac™ looking new and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness. Remove brushroll at least once a month to check for and remove excessive lint, string or hair from the revolving brushroll.
When the brushroll stalls, the “BRUSHROLL ON” light will ﬂash. To reset turn switch to off and back on. If an obstruction is present, unplug unit and remove the obstructing object. Plug the unit back in and the VersaVac is ready to clean.

IMPORTANT: To remove brushroll, rotate brushroll release screw 1/4 turn until the indicator is aligned with the “unlock” symbol.

Replacing the Brushroll
The brushroll is designed for long life. Should it ever become worn or frayed, it can be replaced by an ORECK authorized Service Center.

Exhaust Filter Maintenance
Remove ﬁlter cover by pushing down on the tab and pulling away from the unit. Remove ﬁlter from the back side of cover and rinse until clean, then allow the ﬁlter to dry thoroughly before placing it back in the ﬁlter cover. Install the ﬁlter cover by aligning the bottom of the cover with the unit and then pivoting the cover into place. Cover will make a “snap” sound when it is in place.

Vacuum Filter Maintenance
Remove dust bin from unit. Pull ﬁlter assembly from the dust bin. Rotate course outer ﬁlter counter clockwise and remove the course ﬁlter. Rotate main ﬁlter counter clockwise and remove the main ﬁlter. Pull foam outer ﬁlter off the bottom of the main ﬁlter. Rinse the course ﬁlter, foam ﬁlter, and main ﬁlter and allow to dry thoroughly before reassembling the ﬁlter. Place foam ﬁlter back over the main ﬁlter from the bottom. Insert the main ﬁlter into the ﬁlter housing. Rotate main ﬁlter clockwise to install the main ﬁlter. Place the coarse ﬁlter over the main ﬁlter and align the unlock symbol with the arrow on the coarse ﬁlter. Rotate course outer ﬁlter clockwise until you hear a “click” to install the course ﬁlter. Place ﬁlter assembly back into the dust bin. Replace the dust bin back into the unit.
