CHANGING THE FILTRATION BAG

FILTRATION BAG PART NUMBERS
AK1CC6 – Standard, AK1CC6A – Allergen, and AK1CC6H -HEPA

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, unplug before cleaning or servicing. Do not use vacuum without inner filtration bag in place.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such as face powder or cornstarch may seal the inner filtration bag and cause it to burst even though it is only partially full. Change the bag often when cleaning this type of material.

SANISEAL® OPERATION
Your Elevate vacuum includes a filtration bag equipped with the SaniSeal® System. SaniSeal® automatically locks in allergens, dirt and debris each time you change the bag.

IMPORTAN T NOTE:
To keep your Elevatevacuum running at optimal performance, make sure to change the filtration bag when the contents reach the MAXIMUM FILL LINE. Overloading may result in loss of air flow suction and decreased performance.

1. Unzip the Filtration Bag Case completely.
2. Pull the cardboard collar on the filtration bag downward to release the bag dock from the dock port.
3. Gently pull the cardboard collar on the filtration bag up to engage the SaniSeal® lock and remove from the bag dock. Discard.
4. Slide a new filtration bag collar firmly into the bag dock ensuring all hooks on dock door are inserted on the cardboard collar.
5. Rotate bag dock up and press firmly on the filtration bag at indicated points until it snaps into place.
6. Zip up the filtration bag case completely.

ADJUSTING OR REPLACING BRUSH ROLL

1. Your Oreck® unit comes with the brushroll assembled in the “NEW” position (multiple notches showing on top edge). As the brushroll wears it can be adjusted for longer life.
2. Lay the unit flat to access the power head nozzle. Remove the 7 screws to take off the baseplate from the power head.
3. Remove the brushroll belt and brushroll from the holding channels inside of the power head nozzle.
4. When worn, rotate both plastic black endcaps at the ends of the brushroll to show a single notch “OLD” position. Insert back into the holding channels of the power head nozzle.
5. When rotating the black endcaps on the brushroll, make sure both endcap settings are the same and faceup when you insert the brushroll.
6. Reassemble the brushroll belt. Reference the Maintenance Section on Checking and Replacing the Brushroll Belt for details.
7. Manually spin the brushroll to see that it turns freely.
8. Replace the 7 screws to secure the baseplate to the power head nozzle.

CLEARING BLOCKAGES

1. An overloaded filtration bag may cause dirt and debris to back up into the air flow system. Open the bag dock and check for visible clogs at the bag port.
   Change filtration bag if contents have reached the MAXIMUM FILL LINE.
   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.

2. Also, check for blockages in the power head nozzle.

3. If blockage is not in the power head nozzle, remove the lower tube. Unhook the case clasp releasing the filtration bag case.

4. Twist lower tube connector counterclockwise and slide up. Pull the lower tube out of the fan housing. Once removed, check for blockage.

5. If the lower tube is not blocked, look into the fan housing for blockage. Be sure to reassemble lower tube and tighten the lower tube connector before continuing use.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, UNPLUG BEFORE CLEANING OR SERVICING.
THE BELT: This vacuum is equipped with the Endurolife Belt, which is designed for long life and doesn’t need changing.

MOTOR PROTECTIONS: If the vacuum becomes overloaded (which could occur when a large obstruction is sucked up or when vacuuming extremely thick carpet), the electronics are designed to shut down the vacuum. If this happens, the vacuum will automatically shut off and the headlights will flash. To reset the vacuum, turn the unit “off”, then turn on to continue use. If it shuts down again there may be a large obstruction in the vacuum. See Clearing Blockages for the steps on
