including its hints and warnings. Doing so will ensure that your machine will perform properly
and to best advantage. Anyone using the machine should be thoroughly familiar with its
instructions for use and safety features. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with
the machine if it is moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life can be properly
informed on appliance use and safety.
