Servicing double-insulated products (220V – 240V)

insulated product nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care
and knowledge of the system and should only be done by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product
must be identical to those parts in the product.
The symbol is marked on the double-insulated product.
