Maintenance of double-insulated products
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated product nor should a
means for grounded 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. Only original spare parts should be used for service and
repairs. A double-insulated product is marked with the words: «Double-Insulation» or
«double-insulated».
The symbol may also be marked on the product.
