Oreck magnesium Manuals

USE & MAINTENANCE Simple Operating Tips You’ll love the way your Oreck cleans under things, and is SO lightweight and easy to use. The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation: • When inserting a new disposable inner bag, first puff out and OPEN the bag. • When the disposable inner bag is full, replace it. • Check the disposable inner bag at least once a month. • Do not run the vacuum over the cord. The revolving brushroll could damage the cord. • Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and fringe. • If at any time the machine does not pick up properly or makes an unusual noise, stop operation and service. • 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. The Belt The Oreck Magnesium™ is equipped with the Endurolife™ Belt, which is designed for long life and doesn’t need changing. Motor Protection/Vacuum Shutdown If the vacuum becomes overloaded, which could occur by sucking up a large obstruction or on extremely thick carpet, the electronics are designed to shut down the vacuum. If this happens, the vacuum will be turned off and the headlights will flash. To reset the vacuum turn the unit off, wait 5 seconds, and then turn it back on. If it shuts down again there may be a large obstruction in the vacuum. See “Stuffing or Blockage” for the steps on clearing a blockage. WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing. Lubrication The vacuum motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed. Further lubrication is not required. Brushroll Maintenance At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint, string or hair from the revolving brushroll. Patented cleaning grooves on the brushroll will allow easier cleaning. Wipe the outside of the vacuum with a damp cloth. Also clean the connector deflector assembly area, base of vacuum and fan housing area. If there is dust in the outer bag, vacuum it or shake it out. A little preventative maintenance will keep your Upright vacuum looking new and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness. ! 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. Squeaky Wheels 1. Using a small screwdriver, gently slide it under the wheel and pry the wheel upwards. It should be fairly easy to do. 2. Slide the wheel off the axle. 3. Use petroleum based lubricant, and apply a small amount to the axle with a Q-tip, spreading evenly on the axle. 4. Slide the wheel back onto the axle. A Locked Position Removing the Battery 1. Place a quarter in the grooves of the plastic battery cap (A). Rotate counterclockwise 45 degrees. 2. Pull plastic battery cap out. The silver round battery is located inside. 3. At the top of the battery is located a silver battery contact that holds the battery in place. With the tip of a screwdriver, lift the contact up and away from the battery. Once the contact has cleared, the battery will spring forward for easy removal. Removing the Battery 1. Insert battery into battery compartment. 2. Insert plastic battery cap with grooves facing a vertical position. Place a quarter in the grooves of the plastic battery cap. Rotate clockwise 45 degrees to lock the cap into place. 1 1 2 2 3 5
