			Each product has a label that lists the unique serial number for the individual unit and a six-character product unit. The easiest place to locate this tag is on the back of the machine. Please DO NOT attempt to open the machine panels and door, as this can severely damage the machine. Please consult the Help Desk if you need to access the doors.
