9 - WARRANTY
• The tank is guaranteed for a period
five (5) years
against breakage,
starting from the date of fi rst use if the warranty form was returned to the
manufacturer, In the absence of this form, the date of manufacture will be
used as a reference point for the start of warranty.
• The spare parts (see attached list) are guaranteed for a period of
two (2)
years starting from the date of fi rst use if the warranty form was returned
to the manufacturer, In the absence of this form, the date of manufacture
will be used as a reference point for the start of warranty.
The appliance is guaranteed against all manufacturing defects, provided
that it was installed according to the instructions provided in this manual
and in compliance with all current rules and regulations in the country of
installation. All electrical connections should comply with the C15-100
standard.
Under no circumstances does a defective part warrant the replacement
of the whole appliance.
The warranty only applies to parts which we (AUER) identify as having
been defective at manufacture. If necessary, the part or product should
be returned to the manufacturer, but only with prior agreement from
our technical department. Labour, transport, and packaging costs
are the responsibility of the user. Repairs on a device will not result in
compensation.
The warranty on replacement parts ends at the same time as the warranty
of the appliance.
The warranty only applies to the appliance and its components and
excludes any part or installation external to the appliance: electrical parts,
hydraulic components, etc...
The warranty will not apply in the absence of, insuffi cient, or improper,
maintenance of the appliance.
It is essential to carry out regular annual maintenance on the
appliances and on the installation to ensure sustained use and
durability. This maintenance should be carried out by your
installer, or by an AUER-approved technical center. In the absence
of regular maintenance the warranty is rendered null and void.
If an appliance is presumed to be the cause of any damage, it must not be
moved or tampered with before an expert assessment has been carried out.
