What do I need to do if I purchase this as a gift? Can the recipient reach out if there is a problem?

If you are buying as a gift, make sure to check the items when you receive them that they are all correct and intact with a suitable best before date, keeping in mind you have 30 days to return anything you're not happy with.  You should also pass on the purchase order number especially if buying a machine as a gift.  That way the recipient will be able to claim the warranty should they need to.
