Proper Use
Your BERNINA machine is conceived and designed for
private household use. It is intended for sewing fabrics
and other materials as described in this instruction
manual and on the machine. Any other use is not
considered proper. BERNINA assumes no liability for
consequences resulting from improper use.
Equipment and Scope of Delivery
Example images are used in these instructions
for the purposes of illustration. The machines
and the accessories shown in the images
therefore do not always match the actual items
included with your machine. The supplied accessory
can vary depending on the country of delivery. Acces-
sories mentioned or shown, which are not included in
the scope of delivery, can be purchased as optional
accessories from a BERNINA dealer. Further accessories
can be found at www.bernina.com/990#!accessories.
For technical reasons and in order to improve the
product, changes may be made to the equipment of
the machine and the scope of delivery at any time and
without prior notice.
BERNINA Quality Control
All BERNINA machines are assembled with utmost care
and are subjected to an extensive functionality test. The
integrated stitch counter therefore indicates that the
machine has already sewn stitches, which were
performed exclusively for test purposes and quality
control. The subsequent thorough cleaning does not
exclude the possibility that thread remnants may still be
found in the machine.
Servicing 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 double-insulated product nor
should a means for grounded be added to the product.
Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system and should only be
done 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.
Environmental Protection
BERNINA International AG is committed to environ-
mental protection. We strive to minimize the environ-
mental impact of our products by continuously
improving product design and our manufacturing
technology.
The machine is labeled with the symbol of the
crossed-out wastebin. This means that the
machine should not be disposed of in
household waste when it 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 electrical waste and
electronic equipment or to a collection point for the
reuse of the machine. Information on 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.
