SERVICING OF DOUBLEINSULATED APPLIANCE
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided 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 quali ed
Rainbow service personnel. 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 marked on the appliance. Any servicing other than cleaning should be
performed by an Authorized Rainbow Distributor or Service Center.
