We present ~2'x2' spectral-maps of Orion BN/KL outflows taken with Herschelat ~12'' resolution. For the first time in the far-IR domain, we spatiallyresolve the emission associated with the bright H2 shocked regions "Peak 1" and"Peak 2" from that of the Hot Core and ambient cloud. We analyze the ~54-310umspectra taken with the PACS and SPIRE spectrometers. More than 100 lines aredetected, most of them rotationally excited lines of 12CO (up to J=48-47), H2O,OH, 13CO, and HCN. Peaks 1/2 are characterized by a very highL(CO)/L(FIR)~5x10^{-3} ratio and a plethora of far-IR H2O emission lines. Thehigh-J CO and OH lines are a factor ~2 brighter toward Peak 1 whereas severalexcited H2O lines are ~50% brighter toward Peak 2. A simplified non-LTE modelallowed us to constrain the dominant gas temperature components. Most of the COcolumn density arises from Tk~200-500 K gas that we associate with low-velocityshocks that fail to sputter grain ice mantles and show a maximum gas-phaseH2O/CO~10^{-2} abundance ratio. In addition, the very excited CO (J>35) and H2Olines reveal a hotter gas component (Tk~2500 K) from faster (v_S>25 km/s)shocks that are able to sputter the frozen-out H2O and lead to high H2O/CO>~1abundance ratios. The H2O and OH luminosities cannot be reproduced by shockmodels that assume high (undepleted) abundances of atomic oxygen in thepreshock gas and/or neglect the presence of UV radiation in the postshock gas.Although massive outflows are a common feature in other massive star-formingcores, Orion BN/KL seems more peculiar because of its higher molecularluminosities and strong outflows caused by a recent explosive event.
