4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Powering On/Off
Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Locate the power switch on the top of the vacuum unit. Flip the switch to the "ON" position to start the vacuum. Flip it to the "OFF" position to turn it off.
4.2 Using the Floor Cleaning Nozzle
The floor cleaning nozzle is designed for both hard floors and carpets. It features a lever or button to retract or extend bristles.
- For Hard Floors: Ensure the bristles are retracted (flush with the nozzle) to prevent scratching and optimize suction on hard surfaces.
- For Carpets: Extend the bristles by pressing the lever/button. This helps agitate carpet fibers for deeper cleaning.
4.3 Using Specialized Attachments
The Oreck XL Pro 5 comes with various attachments for specific cleaning tasks:
- Upholstery Tool: Ideal for cleaning furniture, curtains, and car interiors.
- Dusting Brush: Use for delicate surfaces, blinds, lampshades, and vents.
- Crevice Tool: Perfect for reaching tight spaces, corners, and along edges.
- Universal Adapter: Allows for compatibility with various other cleaning tools.
To use an attachment, simply remove the current attachment from the telescopic wand (or directly from the hose if preferred) and firmly attach the desired tool.
4.4 Portability and Reach
The lightweight design and long 30-ft. power cord provide excellent maneuverability. Utilize the carrying strap for hands-free portability, allowing you to clean stairs, high-up areas, or vehicle interiors with ease. The stretch hose further extends your reach for detailed cleaning in difficult-to-access spots.
5. Maintenance
