Richtige Gebrauchsanleitung

Die Vorschriften verpflichten den Verkäufer zur Übertragung der Gebrauchsanleitung Pfaff select 1520 an den Erwerber, zusammen mit der Ware.

Die Bedingung ist, dass ihre Form leserlich und verständlich ist.

Was ist eine Gebrauchsanleitung?

Immerhin kann man in der Gebrauchsanleitung die Kontaktnummer zum Service Pfaff finden, wenn die vorgeschlagenen Lösungen nicht wirksam sind.
