You can use its S/N to work that out. For the serial number, normally the 4th, 5th, and 6th characters to reference when the product was built. The first character is the year date (Y) and the next two (WW), the week in that year it was made.


               CCSYWWZZZZ


For example Y = 8, WW = 03 which indicates your machine was built on week 03 year 2018 or from Jan. 15, 2018 to Jan. 21, 2018

I tried figuring it out that way and I just can’t get myself to understand it. My fourth fifth and sixth characters are 317.
