FIGURE B
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 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 double-insulated appliance
must be identical to the parts they replace.
This appliance is provided with a 2-blade, polarized attachment plug. To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualifed electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
