or Installer of the pieces recognized as being defective by our technical department to the exclusion of labour costs, transport costs, any compen-
sation and prolongation of the guarantee. The guarantee will come into eff ect on the date of installation, with the invoice relating to the installation
constituting proof; in the absence of any documentary evidence, the date upon which the guarantee becomes eff ective shall be the date of manu-
facture mentioned on the identification plate mounted on the hot water boiler, with this date being extended by a further 3 months.
The hot water tank is guaranteed for a 5-year period when this concerns a simple, electrical model of 50 to 500 litres; a 3-year guarantee applies
to 10, 15, 30 litre tanks, with this also applying to continuous flow hot water boilers, combined hot water boilers, preheater reservoirs.
The electrical components and removable parts are guaranteed for a period of two years.
N.B.: Expenses or damages due to defective installation (for instance : freezing, safety valve not connected to a waste water outlet, no retention tank) or
to difficult access shall under no circumstances be charged to the manufacturer.
2) LIMITS OF THE GUARANTEE

Abnormal environmental conditions :

. the guarantee is limited to the exchange or repair of the hot water boiler and those component parts which we have acknowledged as having been

sted in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions, and inspected and serviced on a regular basis. In particular : the water’s residual hardness
may not be less than ≥8°f (≥10°f if using a water softener).
