If your appliance is fitted with Aqua-Stop, you can leave your appliance unattended 
during operation and leave the tap turned on afterwards. The tap should only 
be turned off if you are absent from home for a prolonged period, e.g. several 
weeks holiday.

A prerequisite for the warranty claim is that the appliance has been correctly 
installed and connected with Aqua-Stop according to our instructions. 
This also includes the correct installation of the Aqua-Stop extension
(original accessory). Our warranty does not extend to defective feed lines 
or fittings up to the Aqua-Stop connection on the tap.

This liability guarantee is valid for the service life of the appliance.

If our Aqua-Stop system is defective and causes water damage, 
we will make good the damage for private users. 
To ensure water damage protection, the appliance 

must

 be connected 

to the power supply.

In addition to warranty claims against the seller based on the purchase contract 

and 

in addition to our appliance warranty

 we will pay damages under the following 

conditions:
