This vacuum cleaner must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for elec-
tric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This vacuum cleaner is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding con-
ductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER
•
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded.
•
Do not modify the plug provided with the
vacuum cleaner – if it will not fit the out-
let, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
•
This vacuum cleaner is for use on a nom-
inal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding

cleaner is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug.
•
No adapter should be used with this vac-
uum cleaner.
Note: Before you plug in your Panasonic

age indicated on the rating plate located at
the back of the vacuum cleaner is the
same as your local supply.
