11. ASSISTANCE AND REPAIRS

This manual provides all the necessary information
to run the machine and for correct basic maintenance
operations which can be performed by the user. Any

Service Centre, which have the necessary knowledge
and equipment to ensure that the work is carried out
correctly, maintaining the correct degree of safety and

Any operations performed in unauthorised centres or by
unqualified persons will totally invalidate the Warranty and
