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.

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.
