use identical spare parts. Refer to the
instructions for the maintenance of double-
insulated appliances.
In a double-insulated appliance, safety against the
risk of electrocution is no longer provided by the
earth conductor but by increased insulation of the
machine's electrical components.
The earth conductor is not present on the
appliance and must not be added.
Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system, and
should only be performed by qualified service staff.
Spare parts for a double-insulated appliance must
be identical to the parts to be replaced.
A double-insulated appliance is marked with the
specific symbol (two squares, one inside the other)
on the machine identification label.
The appliance is equipped with a specially
designed cable that, if damaged, must be replaced
with another cable of the same type. It is available
at authorised service centres and dealers, and
must be installed by qualified staff.
