retirar o desechar del servicio
"Antes de que el ****aparato sea retirado o desechado del servicio****, quitar la puerta. No acceder dentro del aparato si el tambor o agitador se está moviendo. No manipular los controles."
Anterior a eso, está el párrafo sobre seguridad con niños. No hay más contexto.
Es español de España. La traducción es inglés para EE. UU. ¿Qué quieren decir con "retirar o desechar del servicio"? ¿Es tan simple como dejar de usar la máquina, desecharla y no usarla más? ¿O "servicio" aquí significa otra cosa?
No sé por qué pensé que "servicio" también podría significar "lavandería" o "cuarto de lavado" o algo así. Lo que interpretaría como "retirar la máquina para transportarla" (por alguna razón).
Por eso pregunto a los colegas españoles, para estar bien segura de interpretarlo bien :)
Muchas gracias.
