Problem solving
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 CE 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. Use the Error chart for error messages from
the software interface. The tool button

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 government 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).
