Servicing of
double-insulated
appliances
This vacuum cleaner is double insu-
lated. In a double-insulated appliance,
two systems of insulation are provided
instead of grounding. No grounding
means is provided on a double-insu-
lated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added. Servicing a
double-insulated appliance requires
extreme care and knowledge of the
system, and should be done only by
qualified service personnel.
Replace-
ment parts must be identical to those
parts being replaced.
A double-insulated
appliance is marked with the words
“DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE-
INSULATED”. The symbol may also
be marked on the appliance.
