Maintenance of a double-insulated cleaner In a double-insulated cleaner, two insulation systems are provided instead of grounding. No grounding is required and therefore no grounding should be applied to the cleaner.

A double insulated cleaner is marked with the words DOUBLE INSULATED (US and Canada). The symbol may also appear on the device. Double insulated appliances must be maintained with great care by a professional trained in this system. Kirby user manual
