Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double insulated appliance is marked with the words ”DOUBLE INSULATION” or ”DOUBLE INSULATED.”

The symbol (square within a square) may also be used on the product.

This appliance conforms with EC-Directive CEE 73/23, CEE 93/68, CEE 89/336.
