Guarantee

"Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back"

We give you a unique 'satisfaction guaranteed' promise - valid for 90 days - after you have

purchased your Hotpoint appliance.  If there is a technical problem simply call Hotpoint Repair

service or visit our web-site at www.theservicecentre.co.uk and where necessary, we will arrange

for an engineer to call.  If the technical problem is not resolved under this guarantee, we will

replace your machine or, if you prefer, give you your money back.

All Hotpoint appliances carry a fully inclusive 12 month parts and labour guarantee as well as free
replacement parts for the first 5 years (except microwaves, selected integrated appliances and
cooker hoods, which have a one year guarantee) provided that they are fitted by a Hotpoint
engineer.

Guarantee terms and conditions
Your guarantee is only applicable in the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland and is subject to
the following provisions that your appliance:

l

Has been installed and used correctly in accordance with this instruction booklet.

l

Has been used solely for domestic purposes and is located on domestic premises (ie. not
for commercial or trade use).

l

Has been properly connected to a suitable electrical supply voltage as stated on the
appliance rating plate.

l

Recycling & Disposal Information

As part of Hotpoint's continued commitment to helping the environment, Hotpoint reserves the right
to use quality recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.
Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully.
To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug and cut mains cable off flush with the
appliance.  Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer be
plugged into a mains socket and the door cannot be locked shut.
