PRODUCT SPECIFIC SAFEGUARDS
WARNING
: For
FP3950
only (Fig. 2, Page 5). This appliance uses a particularly powerful magnet.
Consequently the magnetic field that is produced out from the pump motor can cause malfunctioning or electronic or mechanical failures
to other appliances. For this reason it is recommended to keep a distance of at least 12 inches (30cm) from magnet to pace-makers, credit cards,
cash-point cards, magnetic keys or others (check on the instructions manuals of the relative appliances). Additionally, in order to reduce
risk of squeezing pay attention during the maintenance operations and during clearing operations of the impeller. Also in this case
it is recommended to keep the magnet at least 4 inches (10 cm) far from any surface or metallic objects to avoid abrupt magnetic attraction.
WARNING
: Risk of electric shock - this pump is supplied with a ground conductor and ground-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk
of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, ground-type receptacle.
CAUTION
: This pump has been evaluated for use with fresh water only.
