SERVICING DOUBLE INSULATED UNITS
This unit is double-insulated. In a double-insulated unit,
two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. There is no grounding provided and no
means of grounding should be added to this unit.
Extreme care and knowledge of the system is required
when servicing a double-insulated unit. Service should
be performed by qualified service personnel only.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated unit must be
identical to the parts they replace. Refer any repair to an
authorized service dealer. A double-insulated unit is
marked with the words “double insulation” or “double
insulated.”
