or dealer.

SERVICING 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 extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be done only by
qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a dou-
ble-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.
This appliance conforms with EC-Directive 89/336/EEC,
73/23/EEC, 93/68/EEC.
