Aqua-Stop warranty

For appliances with Aqua-Stop only

In addition to warranty claims against the seller based on the contract of sale and in 

addition to our appliance warranty we shall pay damages under the following 

conditions:

1.

If water damage is caused by a fault in our water safety system, we shall make 

reparation for the damage with respect to private users.

2.

The liability warranty applies to the service life of the appliance.

3.

A claim can only be made under the warranty if the appliance and Aqua-Stop 

have been correctly installed and connected according to our instructions; this 

also includes a correctly installed Aqua-Stop extension (original accessory).

4.

Our guarantee does not apply to defective cables/hoses or to fittings up to the 

connection on the tap.

5.

Appliances which feature Aqua-Stop can be left unattended during operation and 

it is not necessary to turn off the tap afterwards.

6.

The tap should only be turned off if you are away for a prolonged period, e.g. 

several weeks holiday.
