Oreck’s liability for damages to you for any costs whatsoever
arising out of this statement of limited warranty shall be limited
to the amount paid for this product at the time of original
purchase, and Oreck shall not be liable for any direct, indirect,
consequential or incidental damages arising out of the use or
inability to use this product.
Airborne particles and odors are removed from air passing
through the unit by the process of electrostatic precipitation
and an activated charcoal odor absorber.
How Your Oreck Air Purifier Works (fig.1)
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion
may not apply to you.
1. Polluted air enters the Air Purifier through the front grill. As
the air is pulled through, a Pre-Filter helps trap large particles
(hair, lint, etc.).
ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES FOR THIS
PRODUCT, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY
PERIOD, AND NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER THIS PERIOD.
2. A Positive Charging Wire electrostatically charges smaller
particles (dust, smoke, pollen).
3. The positively charged particles then enter the negatively
charged Electronic Collector Cell, where the aluminum plates
attract and retain the particles. It works like a powerful
magnet and the particles remain until the Electronic Collector
Cell is cleaned.
Some states do not allow limitations on the duration of implied
warranties, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
4. The air then passes through a Charcoal Odor Absorber that
helps remove household odors.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state.
5. Next, the Air Revitalizer (Ionizer) releases negative ions to
freshen the air.
Maintenance and Customer Service
The negative ions created by the Air Revitalizer may also
combine with dust, causing the dust to fall out of the air. This
feature gives you an easy, centralized place to wipe away
dust.
Your Oreck Air Purifier is a product of precise engineering. If you
require additional information or have problems with your Oreck
appliance, you may call ORECK customer service at:
Finally, electronically cleaned air passes back into the room
through the top grill.

Please specify the model number and serial/code number which
can be found on the data plate on the back of the Air Purifier.
Oreck Air Purifier Placement and Start-Up
Save your sales or purchase slip. Should your Oreck appliance
require warranty service in the U.S.A., present this slip to the
Authorized Service Center as your proof of purchase date or, in
Canada, call customer service.
1. Your Air Purifier draws in dirty air for cleaning. Place the Air
Purifier in a location where the dirty air is not drawn across
your head or body while sitting or sleeping.
2. Insert the Charcoal Odor Absorber. The Charcoal Odor
Absorber is located with the unit in a separate plastic bag.
The Charcoal Odor Absorber snaps into the back of the
Collector Cell (see instructions with Charcoal Odor
Absorber).
Introduction
The air you breathe is filled with thousands of particles of air
pollution. Some of the pollutants like dust and lint are large
enough to be visible to the naked eye, but pollutants such as
pollen, smoke, germs, bacteria, etc., are microscopic in size.
Your Oreck Air Purifier has been designed to capture and
destroy visible and invisible pollutants and provide your home
or office with the luxury of clean air living.

cleanser and a soft cloth. IMPORTANT: Unplug the unit from its
electrical power source. Do not spray cleansers or furniture
polish into louvers or grill areas.
( • • ) for medium cleaning

Each setting uses a different fan speed, changing the air flow
through the Collector Cell. Regardless of the setting, the
Collector Cell will continue to clean the air effectively.
Collector Cell
IMPORTANT: Do not try to clean the Collector
Cell by inserting a cloth, brush, or other
device between the cell plates. The Collector
Cell should be cleaned with Oreck’s Assail-A-
2.POWER INDICATOR LIGHT: The indicator light will glow

NOTE: You may notice an occasional infrequent sharp
snapping sound coming from your unit. This is a normal
occurrence called “arcing” and results as large particles of
dust are collected in the Electronic Collector Cell. Should
prolonged or continuous arcing occur, the Electronic
Collector Cell should be thoroughly cleaned and dried
completely (See “Cleaning Collector Cell”).
Cell cleaner or using soap and water
(see Step 6. in this section). Inserting objects
in the Collector Cell may damage it.
Oreck recommends cleaning the Collector Cell every four to
eight weeks, or more often if snapping becomes frequent.
Cleaning your Oreck Air Purifier is a snap too... and a must for
efficient operation. To clean proceed as follows:

the cabinet bottom (fig. 3).
3. Pull the Collector Cell out of the cabinet by using the two
small handles on the front of the Cell (fig. 4).
4. Snap off the Charcoal Odor Absorber from the back of the
Collector Cell. Change as necessary for continued odor
removal (fig. 5).
5.Slide off Pre-Filter. The permanent filter should be rinsed off

Canada: 888-676-7325
Outside the USA and Canada,
Cleaning the Electronic Collector Cell:
contact your local Oreck Distributor.
6.Oreck’s Assail-A-Cell® cleaner is an excellent way to clean a
Collector Cell. Be sure to spray between each Cell plate and
cover every surface. Allow product to soak for a few minutes,
not allowing it to dry. Rinse thoroughly with water. For
extremely heavy deposits, repeat the process.
If you prefer not use Oreck’s Assail-A-Cell® cleaner, you may
also decide to soak the Collector Cell in warm water in a
kitchen sink or bathtub. Mild dish detergent (powder or liquid)
may be added to the water to help break down the dirt on the
Collector Cell. The Collector Cell should be allowed to soak
for two to three hours.
Tobacco smoke (tar) is especially hard to remove from the
Collector Cell. If the Purifier has been cleaning tobacco
smoke, the Collector Cell may need to soak longer, or it may
need to be cleaned a second time.
In either case, the Collector Cell should be allowed to air dry
before re-inserting it. Oreck does not recommend the use of
heated or compressed air as part of the drying process.
IMPORTANT: Dry the Collector Cell thoroughly outside
of the Air Purifier before reinstalling it into the Air
Purifier. Ensure that all areas including corners and
areas that may trap water are dry before reinstalling
into the Air Purifier.
Replacing The Charcoal Odor Absorber
(Optional)
In addition to air purification, your Oreck provides the additional
benefit of odor removal. The odor removal function is optional.
Your Oreck Air Purifier will continue to remove harmful airborne
particles with its permanent Electronic Collector Cell even if you
choose not to use the optional Charcoal Odor Absorber.
Odor absorption effectiveness will gradually deteriorate over
time unless the Charcoal Odor Absorber is replaced. While
every environment is different, Oreck suggests that the Charcoal
Odor Absorber be replaced every two months or as needed.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT wash the Charcoal Odor Absorber.
Replace, if necessary.
