Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your FL8550 has been designed for use
with 120-volt AC current. Connection to
a line voltage other than that for which it
is intended can create a safety and fire
hazard, and may damage the unit.
If you have any questions about the
voltage requirements for your specific
model, or about the line voltage in your
area, contact your selling dealer before
plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
We do not recommend that extension
cords be used with this product. As with
all electrical devices, do not run power
cords under rugs or carpets or place
heavy objects on them. Damaged power
cords should be replaced immediately by
an authorized service depot with cords
meeting factory specifications.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from
an AC outlet, always pull the plug; never
pull the cord. If you do not intend to use
the unit for any considerable length of
time, disconnect the plug from the AC
outlet.
Do Not Open the Cabinet
There are no user-serviceable components
inside this product. Opening the cabinet
may present a shock hazard, and any
modification to the product will void your
guarantee. If water or any metal object
such as a paper clip, wire or staple acci-
dentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it
from the AC power source immediately,
and consult an authorized service station.
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
