Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off
To turn the vacuum cleaner ON, press the power switch located on the handle. To turn it OFF, press the switch again.
Vacuuming Surfaces
The Oreck Commercial XL features automatic height adjustment, allowing it to seamlessly transition between different floor types without manual adjustment. This ensures optimal cleaning performance on both carpets and hard floors.
- For Carpets: Push the vacuum forward and pull it back in slow, overlapping passes. The high-speed brush roll will agitate carpet fibers to lift embedded dirt.
- For Hard Floors: The automatic height adjustment will lower the cleaning head to maintain proper suction on hard surfaces.
- Edge Cleaning: Utilize the side edge brushes to clean along baseboards and furniture.
- Under Furniture: The low-profile design allows the vacuum to lay flat, reaching under low-clearance furniture.
