In a double-insulated appliance, two sys-
tems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is provid-
ed 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.
NEVER REMOVE GROUNDING PRONG
FROM POWER PLUG.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR POWER
