Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your
Money Back
Hotpoint gives you a unique ‘Satisfaction
Guaranteed’ promise – valid for ninety days after
you have purchased your Hotpoint product. If there is a
technical problem with your Hotpoint appliance, just
call Hotpoint Service (see back page). If necessary we
will arrange for an engineer to call. If the technical
problem is not resolved under this Guarantee, Hotpoint
will replace your appliance or, if you prefer, give you
your money back. Your statutory rights are not affect-
ed, and the Guarantee is additional and subject to the
terms of Hotpoint’s Five Year Parts Guarantee.
Hotpoint’s Free Five Year Guarantee
From the moment your appliance is delivered
Hotpoint guarantees it for FIVE YEARS.
• In the Five Years all replacement parts are FREE
provided that they are fitted by our own Service
Engineer. During the first year our Engineer’s time
and labour is also free.
• Our guarantee covers loss of food in our
refrigeration and freezer products up to £250
during the first year, subject to verification by one of
our engineers.
• After the first year we will charge for our
Engineer’s time and labour. We do, however,
operate a range of Service Plans (see opposite)
which, for an annual payment, enables you to
cover any repair costs which may be necessary.
• All our service repairs are guaranteed for twelve
months in respect of our labour and any parts fitted.
• The appliance must be used in the United
Kingdom, and must not be tampered with or
taken apart by anyone other than our own
Service Engineers.
• You may, however, buy parts which can be
safely fitted without specialist knowledge or
equipment. The correct fitting of such parts,
provided they are genuine Hotpoint spares, will
not affect your Guarantee. Parts are available
from our Hotpoint Spares Centres (see back
page).
• Our guarantee does not cover the cost of any
repair, or loss of food in refrigeration products,
due to power failure, accidents or misuse. Nor
does it cover the cost of any visits to advise
you on the use of your appliance. Please read
thoroughly the instruction book supplied with
this appliance.
• If at any time during the Guarantee period we
are unable to repair your appliance, we will
refund any repair costs paid to us in the previous
twelve months. We will also offer you a new appli
ance at a reduced charge instead of a repair.
• Our Guarantee is in addition to and does not
affect your legal rights.
• Should you need independent advice on your
consumer rights, help is available from your
Consumer Advice Centre, Law Centre, Trading
Standards Department and Citizens Advice
Bureau.
• All Hotpoint servicing is carried out by our own
Service Organisation located throughout the
United Kingdom and Eire. We will be happy to
deal with any problems which you may have.
