Introduction & warranty
Introduction
By selecting a Fast & Fluid Management shaker you have opted for a product which is the
result of intensive research. Top-quality components, craftsmanship and a modern ergonomic
design all serve to guarantee a long service life and a high degree of user friendliness.
Warranty
In these warranty conditions, 'F&FM' is understood to mean Fast & Fluid Management. The
warranty conditions incorporated into F&FM's general cond itions of sale are summarized 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,
except 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 t r anspires 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 cond itions referred to
in point 6 of the general conditions of sale. The warranty obligation described in this article
only applies if the goods supplied by F&FM have been used in accordance with the manual.
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:
1. Repairs have been carried out, or attempted, by the other party or a third party, unless
F&FM had previously declined to repair the goods for a fair price;
2. F&FM demonstrates that the defect did not emerge during testing;
3. The other party fails to inform F&FM of the defect immediately, if possible either by letter
and/or by fax, providing full, accurate details and/or has failed to comply fully with F&FM's
instructions;
4. The other party has failed to use or treat the goods properly or in accordance with F&FM's
instructions;
5. The damage has been caused by incidents, beyond F&FM's supervision, which have
occurred either during transport or installation.
CE certification
The machine is CE certified. It means that the machine complies with the essential
requirements concerning safety and hygiene. The directives that have been taken into
consideration in the design are available on www.fast-f lu id. com.

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 advice. Have the model number and
serial number at hand (these can be found on the silver sticker at the back of the machine). Use the Problem
Solving chart below to judge whether you can solve a problem yourself or whether you need to call in the
Service Department. On no occasion remove side panels yourself, this may only be done by trained service
personnel.

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 machine back.
If he will not, then enquire at your local govern ment offices or ask a trader of raw materials
what options there are for recycling the material (e.g. scrap processing, electrical components
and plastic (see below for additional information).
All red-coloured
components are made of
ABS. These components
can be recycled.
>
Inside the red square
pictured above (on the front
of the dispenser) are
electrical components that
can be recycled.
