Limited Warranty

Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company (collectively referred to as “the warrantor”)
will repair this product with new or refurbished parts free of charge, in the U.S.A. or
Puerto Rico for two (2) years from the date of original purchase in the event of a defect
in materials or workmanship.

This Limited Warranty Excludes both Labor and Parts for the following items
which require normal replacement: Disposable Dust Bag, Filters, Belts, Light Bulbs,
Agitator Brushes and Batteries (if supplied).

Carry-in or mail-in service in the U.S.A. can be obtained during the warranty period by
contacting a Panasonic Services Company (PASC) Factory Servicenter listed in the
Servicenter Directory. Or call, toll free, 1-800-211-PANA (7262) to locate a PASC
Authorized Servicenter. Carry-in or mail-in service in Puerto Rico can be obtained during
the warranty period by calling the local Panasonic Sales Company telephone number
listed in the Servicenter Directory.

This warranty is extended only to the original purchaser. A purchase receipt or other
proof of date of original purchase will be required before warranty performance is
rendered.

This warranty only covers failures due to defects in materials and workmanship which
occur during normal use and does not cover damages which occur in shipment, or
failures which are caused by products not supplied by the warrantor, or failures which
result from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, faulty
installation, improper operation or maintenance, alteration, modification, power line
surge, improper voltage supply, lightning damage, commercial use such as hotel, office,
restaurant or other business or rental use of the product, or service by anyone other than
a PASC Authorized Servicenter, or damage that is attributable to acts of God.

LIMITS AND EXCLUSIONS:
There are no express warranties except as listed above.
THE WARRANTOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, OR ARISING OUT OF
ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIOD
SET FORTH ABOVE.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusions
or limitations may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state. If a problem with this product develops during or after the
warranty period, you may contact your dealer or Servicenter. If the problem is not
handled to your satisfaction, then write to the Consumer Affairs Department at the listed
address on the back cover.
