incorporated into F&FM's general conditions of sale are sum marized as follows (for free general conditions you
can contact F&FM):
F&FM guarantees the proper operation of any goods which it supplies, for a period of one year, exc ept where a
breakdown is the result of normal wear and tear. The cost of any inspection activities carried out by F&FM, with
the aim of establishing whether or not a breakdown is covered by the warranty will be reimbursed by the other
party if it transpires that the breakdown is not covered by the warranty. If it transpires that a breakdown is
covered by the warranty then F&FM will supply identical or equivalent goods under the conditions referred to in
point 6 of the general conditions of sale. The warranty obligation desc ribed in this article only applies if the
goods supplied by F&FM have been used in accordance with the m anual. Time spent on warranty-related
activities, including travel time, travel costs and accommodation costs, are charged at current rates.
In contrast to the above, F&FM will not be held to any warranty obligation if:
Repairs have been carried out, or attempted, by the other party or a third party, unless F&FM had
1.
previously declined to repair the goods for a fair price;
F&FM demonstrates that the defect did not emerge during testing;
2.
The other party fails to inform F&FM of the defect immediately, if possible either by letter and/or by fax,
3.
providing full, accurate details and/or has failed to comply fully with F&FM's instructions;
The other party has failed to use or treat the goods properly or in accordance with F&FM's instructions;
4.
The damage has been caused by incidents, beyond F&FM's supervision, which have occ urred either during
5.
transport or installation.
In the following text, the expression "Software" will be understood to mean the standard computer software
supplied by F&FM to the other party, recorded on a computer-readable storage medium, plus the
accompanying documentation (Software Manual) and including any improved and/or new versions supplied.
The expression "processing unit" (PU) is understood to mean the machine for which and with which the
Software is supplied, and which is the sole machine on which the Software may be used.
The other party is authorized to copy the Software either in its entirety, or in part, (up to a m aximum of 2
copies) for purposes of internal security. These c opies will be furnished with the same marks, designations
relating to copyright and other registration numbers as the original version of the Software.
The other party will neither amend, translate, decompile nor adapt the Software, nor convert it into source
code, without express written permission from F&FM. If the other party so requests, F&FM will provide that
party with the information required to render the Software interoperable with other software.
In the event that the PU experiences a breakdown, the other party may use the software on another processing
unit until the PU is again operational. The other party will inform F&FM of this within 5 days.
If it is a requirement that the Software be definitively transferred from the PU to another processing unit then
the other party shall request permission from F&FM, which will not withhold such permission on unreasonable
grounds.

Troubleshooting
A - Introduction
Before calling your machine supplier or Service Department, please check whether you can solve the problem
yourself. If you cannot, then call the Service Department for advic e. Have the model number and serial
number at hand (these can be found on the silver CE sticker at the service panel at the back of the m ac hine).
Use the Problem Solving chart below to judge whether you can solve a problem yourself or not. The tool
symbol () means you cannot solve the problem yourself and the Service Department must be called. On no
occasion remove side panels yourself, this may only be done by trained service personnel. This c hart does not
include any of the malfunctions which are reported in an error message by the software. In the event of a
malfunction, these messages and possible solutions are displayed on the monitor.
If necessary, you can get in touch with your supplier or the local service department, or contact the
manufacturer directly. If you contact the manufacturer, make sure that you have the model number and serial
number to hand. They can be found on the nam e plate on the back of the machine.

Contributing to the Protection of the Environment
Packaging Material
The packaging protects the machine against damage during transport. The packaging material was chosen
based on its limited impact on the environment and its inherent possibilities for waste-disposal.
The reuse of packaging material saves raw materials and produces less waste material. Generally speaking,
your supplier will take the packaging off your hands.
Discarding the Machine
Discarded equipment usually still consists of valuable materials. For this reason, do not simply throw your
machine out with the oversized refuse, but ask your supplier whether he will take the m achine back.
If he will not, then enquire at your local government offices or ask a trader of raw m aterials what options there
are for recycling the material (e.g. scrap processing, electrical c omponents and plastic (see below for additional
information).
