Please make sure you have all these details ready when you call.

Please remember your new appliance is a complex piece of
equipment.
‘DIY” repairs or unqualified and untrained service people may put you
in danger, could damage the appliance, and might mean you lose
cover under the Parts Guarantee.
If you do experience a problem with the appliance don’t take risks,
call in our Ser vice Engineer. Our Spare Par ts are designed
exclusively to fit your appliance. Do not use them for any other
purpose as you may create a safety hazard.

As part of our continued commitment to helping the environment, we
reserve the right to use quality recycled components to keep down
customer costs and minimise material wastage.

Disposal of packaging materials: follow local regulations, so that 
packaging can be recycled.

To minimise the risk of injury to children, remove the door and 
plug - then cut off the mains cable, flush with the appliance.
Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance 
can no longer be plugged into a mains socket.

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical
appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal
waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order
to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain
and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of
your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be
separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for
information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
