Double-insulated appliances

• Use only as described in this manual and only with the
manufacturer's re com men ded attachments.
• BEFORE YOU PLUG IN YOUR CLEANER, check the rat-
ing plate at the cleaner to see if the rated vol ta ge agrees
within 10% of the voltage available.
• This appliance is provided with double insu la tion. Use only
identical re pla ce ment parts. See instructions for ser vi cing
double insulated appliances.
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of ground-
ing. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a mean
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the
parts they replace. A double insulated appliance is marked with the words "DOUBLE IN-
SULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED." The symbol (square within a square) may also be
used on the product.
The machine is equipped with a specially designed cord which if damaged, must be re-
placed by a cord of the same type. This is available at authorised service centres and
dealers and must be installed by trained personnel.

Electrical connection

• The vacuum cleaner must not be used if the electrical ca-
ble or plug show any sign of damage. Regularly inspect the
cable and the plug for damage. If this becomes damaged, it
should be repaired only by Nilfisk-Advance or an authorised
Nilfisk-Advance Service Dealer, in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not handle the electrical cable or plug with wet hands.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cable. To unplug, grasp the
plug, not the cable. The plug must always be removed from
the socket outlet before starting any service or repair work
of the machine or the cable.
