ER’S WARRANTY
This warranty is provided by Midea. It applies to heat pumps installed
in a single family dwelling only and is provided only to those acquiring
the heat pump as consumers within the meaning of the Australian

territories.
10.1 Warranty period
Midea warrants that the following heat pump components will remain
free of defects for the specified periods from the date of installation:
• Storage Tank - 5 years.
• Compressor- 3 years.
• All other components supplied by Midea, including valves,
elements, thermostats and sacrificial anodes - 1 year.
• Midea gives no warranty in relation to components not supplied by
Midea, for example tempering valves and cold water valve assem-
blies used by installers.
Subject to the conditions and exclusions specified in this warranty,
Midea will at its own expense repair or replace any defective heat
pump component covered by this warranty as soon as reasonably
practicable after the consumer has reported the defect to Midea.
10.2 Consumers must register the warranty

send it to the address shown on the form.
10.3 Procedure to make a claim under

period, if the suspected defect relates to any components covered
by this warranty.
10.4 Specific exclusions
