Oreck XL Pro-5 COMPACT CANISTER VACUUMS

Safeguards

WARNING: Unplug the cord from the electrical outlet before servicing.

• IMPORTANT: Make sure the filter bag is in place. Do not operate cleaner without a filter bag. Damage to the motor may occur.
• Be sure the bag gasket is in place. If the white bag gasket is damaged or lost, replace it at once.
• For best results, change the disposable filter bag regularly even if it is not full. An extremely dirty bag or a bag close to full will affect the suction of the cleaner and can create excessive motor heat that could damage the motor. A good practice is to change the filter bag every 30 days even if it is not full.
• Do not pick up moist material or liquids.
• Clean your vacuum cleaner with a damp (not wet) cloth in the disposable bag cavity and the outside of the canister unit.
• IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE the dirt retaining flap attached to the back of the front plate. It must be left in place for the unit to operate properly and to ensure cleaning effectiveness.
• MOTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM:
  If fine materials such as soot, cement, plaster dust, copy machine powder, etc. are picked up, the bag surface may seal and cause the motor to shut off to avoid overheating. If this happens, turn the switch off and unplug the cleaner. Replace the filter bag. Check and clear any clogs in the hose or accessories. After approximately 30 min. the motor will have cooled and the cleaner will be ready to use.
  Note: The cleaner must remain unplugged for 30 minutes for the motor to cool and the system to reset.

Polarized Plug Notice
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the polarized plug.

Shoulder Strap
Insert the end of the shoulder strap into a slot in front of the on/off power switch. Pull through three to four inches and insert into the plastic clip. One inch of the strap must be completely through the clip. Insert the other end of the strap through the slot located at the back of the handle. Insert the end into the clip and pull through. Adjust the length by pulling the strap through the clip. The strap must go through both front and back clips.
IMPORTANT: Before using the shoulder strap, pull both ends to be sure it is secure.

Hose & Tool Installation
The flexible hose uses a Shurlok® locking system that prevents hose removal unless intended. To install the hose, align the “J” slot in the hose coupling with the tab inside the suction port. Insert hose in port. Twist the collar clockwise to lock the hose coupling in the port. Twist counterclockwise and pull to remove the hose.

The extension wands and cleaning tools supplied with your Oreck XL Compact Canister Vacuum lock together with friction. Twist and push to be sure they lock tightly when installing. Twist and pull to remove
When installing tools directly to the blower or suction port without using a hose, a tool adapter must be used.

Blower Port
The blower port is located at the rear of the machine. Installation of tools is the same as described for the suction port.

Cord Dump
Twist cord dump to easily release stored cord.
Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
Power Switch
Push the power switch to the “ON” (I) position.

Assembly

Attach Caddy and Insert Tools
Locate caddy clip indents at top rear corners of the appliance. Place the appliance on a firm, non-slip surface or hold in your lap. Grasp the handle firmly. Place the end of the caddy in the outside indent then strongly push and pull the other end of the caddy into the opposite indent. Be sure the rims on the caddy openings face up. Avoid trapping fingers when caddy snaps on; a painful pinch could result.

If the caddy needs to be removed, a large flat-head screwdriver inserted under the caddy clip at the indent can be used to carefully pry the caddy loose.

Pull the cord through the center opening in caddy and push until it is seated at back of the slot at the rear of the center opening in caddy.

Insert the crevice tool, brush, and fabric tool into the caddy in the spaces provided.
