GENERAL SAFETY RULES
 SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES. A
double-insulated appliance is marked with one or more
of the following: The words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or
“DOUBLE INSULATED” or the double insulation symbol
(square within a square). In a double-insulated appli-
ance, 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 double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.
