SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED
APPLIANCES
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 means for grounding be
added to the appliance. Servicing a
double-insulated appliance requires extre-
me 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.
