CAUTION
• Use only as described in this manual and only with the manufactur-
er’s re com men ded attachments.
• BEFORE YOU PLUG IN YOUR CLEANER, check the rating 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

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 mean for grounding be
added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowl-
edge 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 INSULATION” 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 replaced by a
cord of the same type. This is available at authorised service centres and dealers and must be in-
stalled by trained personnel.
1.6 Electrical connection
WARNING
• The vacuum cleaner must not be used if the electrical cable 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 or an authorised Nilfisk 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 ca-
ble.
