12 Months Parts and Labour Guarantee

Your appliance has the benefit of our manufacturer’s guarantee, which covers the cost of breakdown repairs

interfered with by any person not authorised by us.

Any repair work must be undertaken by us or our appointed agent.

Any parts removed during repair work or any appliance that is replaced become our property.
