Servicing of double-insulated appliances

electrical appliance and should not be connected
to an earth connection.
In a double-insulated appliance, two syst
ems 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

qualied service personnel. Replacement parts for a
double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts
they replace.
A double-insulat

“DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED”.
The symbol (square within a square) may also be
marked on the appliance.
