Odor Fighting HEPA Inner Bags
YourOreckincludesanOdorFightingHEPAInnerBag.Thedisposableinnerbagplaysavery
importantroleintheefficiencyofyourORECKvacuum.Thepurposeofthedisposableinner
bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to allow air to pass through.
Ifthedisposableinnerbagbecomesclogged,noaircanpassthroughthevacuumandcleaning
cannottakeplace,regardlessofthevacuum’spower.
TokeepyourUprightvacuumoperatingatmaximumefficiency,changethedisposableinner
bagfrequently.
DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED ON THE DISPOSABLE INNER BAG.
Be sure the disposable inner bag is installed properly. Note: All disposable inner bags are not

bagshavebeendesignedtobeusedwiththeORECKUprightvacuum.Usingbagsotherthan
genuine Oreck HEPA or non-HEPA disposable inner bags will affect the cleaning ability of your

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.
