INSTRUCTIONS  
• Only use the air purifier as described in this manual.  
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.  
• Do not use the air purifier with a damaged cord or plug.  
Doing so may result in electric shock, serious injury or  
death. Have a qualified service technician replace any  
damaged cords or plugs.  
• Do not handle the unit with wet hands. Doing so may result  
in electrical shock, serious injury or death. Thoroughly dry  
your hands before handling any part of the air purifier.  
CAUTION!  
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. Doing so may result  
in electrical sparks and fire. Unplug the unit by grasping,  
and pulling the plug.  
• Hair, loose clothing and body parts may get caught in the  
machine resulting in injury. Keep hair, loose clothing and  
body parts away from openings and moving parts.  
Placement Warnings  
!
WARNING!  
Do not use the air purifier outdoors or on wet surfaces.  
Doing so may result in electric shock, serious injury or  
death. Use only indoors and under dry conditions.  
Do not use the air purifier in an enclosed space where  
flammable, combustible or explosive gases are present.  
Do not use in an area where toxic vapors, flammable dust  
or oxygen tanks are present. Doing so may result in serious  
injury or death. Check the location and make sure these  
elements are not present.  
1
CAUTION!  
• Do not place open flames, including candles, directly in  
front of the air purifier.  
• Keep objects away from the air intake grille.  
It is important to consider the following when deciding on  
where to locate the air purifier:  
• Position the air purifier on a flat, solid, stable surface.  
Never place the unit on soft surfaces such as a bed  
or sofa.  
• Position the air purifier where the dirty air is not drawn  
across your head or body while sitting or sleeping.  
• Position the air purifier so the plug on the power cord easily  
reaches a standard electrical outlet for a polarized plug.  
Note: A polarized plug has one  
rounded prong and one straight prong.  
The rounded end goes into the  
longest socket slot.  
• Do not use an extension cord.  
• Do not place the air purifier near sources of heat, such as  
stove tops, ovens, radiators or computers.

1. Pre-Filter: Filter large particles such as dust, hair and lint.  
Features  
2. Cleaning brush: Use to clean the front and back grilles.  
Stores snuggly in the compartment under the cover.  
3. Odor Absorber: Reduces odors and chemical fumes from  
glue, solvents and synthetic materials. The air purifier  
continues to filter particles from the air passing through it  
with or without the odor absorber. Note: Oreck ProShield  
Air Purifier has a replaceable odor absorber. Oreck  
ProShield Plus Air Purifier has a permanent odor absorber  
which is activated by internal ultraviolet lights and cannot  
be removed.  
4. Truman Cell: Electrostatically charges and collects  
small particles such as dust, smoke, pollen, bacteria,  
molds, viruses, and fungi.  
5. Catalytic Oxygenator: Both models contain a permanent  
catalytic Oxygenator which cannot be removed.  
6. Exhaust Grille: Directs the flow of air as it exits the unit.  
7. Power Cord: Plug into the outlet to begin use.  
8. Removable Base: Allows the air purifier to stand vertically.  
Simply stand the unit on its base with the Oreck logo facing  
front and the control panel buttons at the top.  
9. Night Light: The right end of both models will softly glow  
when the night light is activated. On the Oreck ProShield  
Plus Air Purifier, the logo will illuminate when the unit is  
sitting on its base, or serve as a night light on the front of  
the unit.  
10. Cover Release Button: Press in to release the cover for  
maintenance access.  
11. Truman Collector Cell Light: A solid red light is included  
as a handy reminder to clean the Truman Cell after 30 days.

Truman cell to shut down and requires attention.  
12. Speed Indicator Light: Lighting starts from the center  
for the lowest motor speed to all five lights for full motor  
speed.  
13. Odor Absorber Light: The light indicates that it is time to  
replace the odor absorber.  
14. Oreck ProShield Air Purifier: On this model, this button  
activates the Air Revitalizer feature which is designed  
to run continuously, but may be turned OFF if desired.  
Provides additional air freshness via the release of negative  
ions, which can also cause dust particles to clump together  
and fall out of the air passing through the air purifier. You  
may notice faster dust buildup on the unit and surrounding  
objects with the Air Revitalizer turned ON.

curs when large particles are collected in the Truman Cell. If  
prolonged or continuous arcing occurs the Truman Cell should  
be cleaned.

5. Spray Oreck Assail-a-Cell® cleaner between each Cell Plate  
and cover each surface. Allow the cleaner to soak for a few  
minutes but do not let it dry. Thoroughly rinse the Truman  
Cell with clean water.  
An alternative method to clean the Truman Cell is to rinse or  
soak it in warm water for loose debris. Mild liquid dish  
detergent in water may also be used to help break down  
tough dirt and residue. Thoroughly rinse the Truman Cell  
with clean water.  
Note: To prevent damage to the components of the Truman  
Cell, do not put in dishwasher or use a cotton swab.  
Tough residue such as tar from tobacco smoke may need  
additional cleaning or longer soaking.  
6. Allow to dry completely outside of the air purifier. Do not  
use heated or compressed air to dry.  
7. Place the Truman Cell back into the unit by sliding it straight  
down into the slots. The Truman Cell is specially designed
