Un bon manuel d’utilisation

Les règles imposent au revendeur l'obligation de fournir à l'acheteur, avec des marchandises, le manuel d’utilisation Singer Professional 5 Serger 14T968DC. Le manque du manuel d’utilisation ou les informations incorrectes fournies au consommateur sont à la base d'une plainte pour non-conformité du dispositif avec le contrat.

Enfin, le manuel contient les coordonnées du service Singer en l'absence de l'efficacité des solutions proposées.
