We will always find an appropriate
solution and try to avoid unnecessary
visits being made by a Customer Ser-
vice technician.
With any warranty claims, we will
make sure that your appliance is re-
paired by trained after-sales techni-
cians using genuine spare parts, in-
cluding after the manufacturer's war-
ranty has expired.
For safety reasons repairs to the ap-
pliance should only be carried out by
trained specialist staff. The warranty
claim becomes void if repairs or in-
terventions have been carried out by
persons not authorised by us for that
purpose or if our appliances have
been fitted with spare, supplementary
or accessory parts that were not
genuine parts and then resulted in a
defect.
Function-relevant genuine spare parts
according to the corresponding Eco-
design Order can be obtained from
Customer Service for a period of at
least 10 years from the date on
which your appliance was placed on
the market within the European Eco-
nomic Area.

Note: 

Under the terms of the manu-

facturer's warranty the use of Cus-
tomer Service is free of charge.
Detailed information on the warranty
period and terms of warranty in your
country is available from our after-
sales service, your retailer or on our
website.
If you contact Customer Service, you
will require the product number (E-
Nr.), the production number (FD) and
the consecutive numbering (Z-Nr.) of
your appliance.
The contact details for Customer Ser-
vice can be found in the enclosed
Customer Service directory or on our
website.

Product number (E-Nr.), pro-
duction number (FD) and con-
secutive numbering (Z-Nr.)

You can find the product number (E-
Nr.), the production number (FD) and
the consecutive numbering (Z-Nr.) on
the appliance's rating plate.
The rating plate is located inside the
appliance door.
Make a note of your appliance's de-
tails and the Customer Service tele-
phone number to find them again
quickly.

AQUA-STOP guarantee

In addition to warranty claims against
the seller under the purchase agree-
ment and in addition to our manufac-
turer's warranty, we offer compensa-
tion under the following conditions.

¡

If our Aqua-Stop system is defect-
ive and causes water damage, we
will make good the damage for
private users. To ensure protection
from water damage, the appliance
must be connected to the power
supply.

¡

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

¡

A claim can only be made under
the guarantee if the appliance has
been correctly installed and con-
nected with Aqua-Stop according
to our instructions; this also in-
cludes correctly fitting the Aqua-
Stop extension (genuine access-
ory). Our guarantee does not cover
defective supply lines or fittings up
to the Aqua-Stop connection on
the tap.

¡

If your appliance is fitted with
Aqua-Stop, you can in principle
leave your appliance unattended
during operation and the tap
turned on afterwards. The tap only
