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.

Do not use an extension cord to supply power to your Air  
Purifier.  
Operation  
Your Air Purifier works best if you leave it in operation  
continuously, and it provides multiple settings for convenient use  
at any time.  
Cleaning  
1.MAIN POWER SWITCH: Turn the unit on by sliding the power  
switch to the fan speed you prefer (fig. 2):  
( • • • ) for maximum cleaning  
The Cabinet  
You can clean the Air Purifier cabinet with mild, non-abrasive  
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  
( • ) for low 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  
green when the power is on.  
®
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:  
1.Turn the unit off and unplug it from the electric power source.  
If wall mounted, remove unit from wall.  
2
2. Remove front grill by pressing both buttons under the grill on  
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  
and reused (fig. 6).  
NOTE: Handle the Electronic Collector Cell with care.  
Damaged metal plates and/or broken wires will cause the  
Air Purifier to malfunction. (Do not wash Charcoal Odor  
Absorber; it is disposable.)

Air Purifier. If the grill is not properly secured in place, the unit  
will not operate. If your unit fails to operate, remove the front  
grill and reinstall it, being sure that the lower right-hand side  
of the grill (next to the control panel) is firmly locked in place.

Oreck’s Assail-A-Cell® cleaner  
USA: 800-989-3535  
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.
