LIMITED WARRANTY* ONE (1) YEAR:

 

Your small kitchen appliance is warranted to the original purchaser to be free from any manufacturing 
defects under normal use and conditions for one (1) year, cord excluded. During that period, should the 
appliance fail to operate properly, return the appliance with your sales receipt to the store where purchased. 
If you use your appliance for household use and according to instructions, it should give you years of 
satisfactory service.  This product warranty covers only the original consumer purchase of the product. 
 

WARRANTY IS ONLY VALID WITH A DATED PROOF OF PURCHASE. 

To guarantee repair or replacement without charge, a dated sales receipt showing purchase within the 
limited warranty period* must accompany the appliance. Without a sales receipt, warranty will be estimated 
according to the appliance's manufactured date. A comparable appliance should arrive within 2-3 weeks. 
However, in case an appliance is not covered by warranty, correspondence offering alternatives will be 
mailed to you. 
During the limited one-year warranty period, a product with a defect will be either repaired or replaced with 
a comparable reconditioned model (at our option) when the product is returned to our Service Center.  (See 
the “Returns” section below).   The repaired or replacement product  will be in warranty for the remaining 
balance of the limited one-year warranty period and an additional one-month (30 day) period. 

 
This limited warranty covers appliances purchased and used within the 48 contiguous states plus 
Alaska, Hawaii and the District of Columbia and does NOT cover: 

 
- Damages caused by unreasonable use, neglect, normal wear and tear, commercial use, improper 
assembly or installation of product. 
- Damages caused in shipping. 
- Damages caused by replacement or resetting of house fuses or circuit breakers. 
- Defects other than manufacturing defects. 
- Breakage caused by misuse, abuse, accident, alteration, lack of proper care and maintenance, or 
incorrect current or voltage.  
- Lost or missing parts of the product.  Parts will need to be purchased separately. 
- Damages of parts that are not electrical; for example: cracked or broken plastic or glass. 
- Damage from service or repair by unauthorized personnel. 
- Extended warranties purchased via a separate company or reseller. 
- Consumer’s remorse is not an acceptable reason to return a product to our Service Center. 
*The consumer is responsible for any delivery charges for all replacement units provided for exchange 
under the warranty.

We cannot assume responsibility for loss or damages to products returned to us during incoming shipment.
