Technical maintenance

We recommend to have the unit checked annually. This
may be done by your supplier or by an other agency,
authorized by the manufacturer. It is also recommended
that a record of the service history is kept for all activi-
ties relating to service and maintenance. In some coun-
tries this is even obligatory.
The check up and/or technical maintenance must be
carried out conform the procedure described in the serv-
ice manual of the unit.
No attempt should be made to open the unit. Mainte-
nance and all repairs should be carried out by an au-
thorised agency.
The manufacturer will not be held responsible for the
results of maintenance or repairs by unauthorized per-
sons.

countries. This Product Liability law implies, amongst
other things, that once a period of 10 years after a prod-
uct has been brought into circulation has elapsed, the
manufacturer can no longer be held responsible for
possible shortages of the product.
