Safety & General Information ENGLISH 2Grounding Information s CAUTION s This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. s WARNING s 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 appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A (see next column). A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketch B (see next column) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole r eceptacle, if a pr operly grounded outlet is not available. The temporar y adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending fr om the adapter must be connected to a per manent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal scr

Multi-Floor Machine. All of these accessories ar e available at one of our over 450 Oreck retail Stores or on our website, www .oreck.com
When choosing different pads and brushes for the Orbiter
, ther e is no exact science to selecting an accessor y for a particular floor . Bonnets ar e good for surface cleaning most floor types. Pads are good for scrubbing and polishing flat surfaces. Brushes work well for getting into r ecesses in non-flat sur faces, like tile, wher
the bristles can get into grout lines. When you choose an accessory, remember you want one aggressive enough to do the job but gentle enough not to damage the floor. Use common sense. For example, do not use a brown strip pad (aggressive) on a wood floor (soft floor). Start with what is safe and move to a mor e aggr essive accessor
, if needed.11 ENGLISH Maintenance & Troubleshooting Car e of Y our Oreck
