Disposal
Dispose of the appliance in compliance with the environmental protection laws of your country. Electrical waste
may not be disposed of together with domestic waste. Use local old-appliance collection points instead. The
filters used are made from environment-friendly materials. You may dispose of them in your household waste.
5.4
Conditions of warranty
We grant a warranty of 24 months from the date of purchase for the appliance distributed by us.
Within
this period we will either repair or replace the appliance or accessory (damages to accessories do not
automatically cause a replacement of the complete appliance) all defects due to manufacturing or materials at
no cost. Damages due to inappropriate use (operation on wrong voltage or type of current, connecting to
unsuitable power supplies, breakage, etc.) are exempt from warranty, as are normal wear and minor defects
that only negligibly influence the appliance's serviceability. Intrusions by unauthorised parties and the use of
spare parts not supplied by Royal Appliance invalidate the warranty. Consumable parts are not included in the
warranty and must be paid for! The warranty is only valid if the date of purchase has been acknowledged by
the dealer's stamp and signature on the warranty card or if a copy of the invoice or sales slip is included with
the sent-in appliance. Warranty work does not extend the warranty period nor does it constitute a claim for a
new warranty!
5.5
In case of a warranty
claim
Send us the appliance with its dust container empty and a short description of the defect in printed letters. Head
your accompanying letter with the notice "warranty claim". Send it including the warranty card or a copy of the
purchase slip. Address
