Servicing of
double-insulated
appliances
This vacuum cleaner is double insulated.
In a double-insulated appliance, two
systems of insulation are provided instead
of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated 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.
Replacement 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.
