Proper use
Your bernette machine is conceived and designed for private household use. It answers the
purpose to quilt fabrics as it is decribed in this instruction manual. Any other use is not considered
appropriate. BERNINA assumes no liability concerning consequences resulting from an
inappropriate usage.
Maintenance of double-insulated products
In a double-insulated product two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a doubleinsulated product, nor should a means for grounding be
added to the product. Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a
double-insulated product must be identical to the original parts in the product. A double-insulated
product is marked with the words: “double insulation” or “double-insulated”.
The symbol may also be marked on the product.
Protection of the environment
BERNINA is committed to the protection of the environment. We strive to minimize the environmental impact
of our products by continuously improving product design and our technology of manufacturing.
The machine is labeled with the symbol of the crossed-out wastebin. This means that the machine must not
be disposed of with the household waste when the machine is no longer needed. Improper disposal can
result in dangerous substances getting into the groundwater and thus into our food chain, damaging our
health.
The machine must be returned free of charge to a nearby collection point for waste electrical and electronic
equipment or to a collection point for the reuse of the machine. Information on the collection points can be
obtained from your local administration. When purchasing a new machine, the dealer is obliged to take back
the old machine free of charge and dispose of it properly.
If the machine contains personal data, you are responsible for deleting the data yourself before returning the
machine.
