Conditions of Guarantee 

 
Your ESSE cooker is guaranteed against defects arising from faulty manufacture for three years, subject to the following express conditions: 

• 

This cooker must be commissioned by your ESSE Dealer (or an authorised GAS SAFE engineer) upon installation. The details must 

be  recorded  on  the  Commissioning Card  and  registered  with  ESSE  by  returning  the  completed  card.  The  guarantee  period  com-

mences upon delivery of the cooker (subject to receipt of the correctly completed card). 

• 

The cooker has been used for normal domestic purposes only, and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 

• 

The cooker is serviced annually by the ESSE Dealer or authorised GAS SAFE engineer, and the Service Record completed.  

• 

The cooker must not be serviced, maintained, repaired, taken apart or tampered with by any person not authorised by us. 

• 

Any cooker or defective part replaced shall become the Company’s property. 

 

Exclusions 

    
This guarantee does not cover: 

• 

Damage OR calls resulting from transportation, improper use or neglect. 

• 

Parts  deemed  to  be  replaceable  in  the  normal  usage  of  the  cooker.  These  parts  are  listed  herewith:  oven  thermostat,  gas 

valve, piezo ignition lead, pilot assembly, timer/programmer and catalyser assembly. 

• 

Enamel damage; the vitreous coating on your cooker is in effect an extremely thin layer of glass and as such displays all the characteristics 

of glass. It can easily be damaged by impact, or by spillage of cold liquids onto a hot surface. Such damage cannot be covered under 

this guarantee. (See also intermittent use of your cooker, below). 

This guarantee is personal to the original purchaser and is non-transferable. 
 

Intermittent Use of Your Cooker 

    
In the event of intermittent use and prolonged shutdown, it should be noted that in some circumstances enamel may be displaced due to 

ingress of damp. Whilst this is rare, it is most likely to occur in situations where the unused cooker remains in a unheated property. There is a 

layer (known as the groundcoat) between the vitreous enamel surface and the cast iron. Groundcoat is porous and if exposed (e.g. after a 

chip in the vitreous enamel coat), may allow damp to penetrate behind the  vitreous enamel  and spread through the groundcoat. Surface 

oxidisation of the cast iron may thereafter occur, causing the vitreous enamel to fall off. Such damage will not be covered by your warranty. 

We recommend that a light coating of petroleum jelly be applied to any damaged areas when the cooker is not in use to help keep out the 

damp, in addition to following instructions in your Operating Manual. 
 

Customer Care 

    
In the event you should require spare parts, please order through your ESSE dealer. 

Should you have cause for dissatisfaction with your cooker, you should contact your ESSE dealer, who will, in most instances, be able to 

offer you immediate assistance. You will be required to give the following details. 

• 

Your name, address and postcode. 

• 

Your telephone/contact details. 

• 

Clear and concise details of the fault. 

• 

Model and serial number of the cooker (found on the inside panel of the firebox/control door). 

• 

Purchase date (please note that a valid purchase receipt or guarantee documentation is required for in-guarantee service calls). 

We will then check that we have an accurately completed warranty card, if not then any work carried out will be charged. 

We will access the nature of the complaint and either send replacement parts for your dealer to fit, send an engineer to inspect & report, or 
send an engineer to remedy. If the fault is not actually due to faulty workmanship but some other cause such as misuse or failure to install 
correctly, a charge will be made to cover the cost of the visit and any new parts required, even during the warranty period. Home visits are 
made between 08 30 - 17 00 hrs. Monday to Friday, and are arranged for either a morning or afternoon appointment.
