EU Warranty
executed the sales company or national distributor in the
country where the appliance was originally marketed.
In either case, the purchaser must furnish this guarantee card
and proof of date of purchase. Any necessary transportation,
both of the appliance and of any spare parts, will be at the
purchaser's risk and expense, and there may be a consequent
delay in the repair service.
Where the consumer sends the appliance for repair to the
sales company or national distributor in the country of use of

country of use, and not the country of initial sale in the EU/EEA.
Where the consumer sends the appliance for repair to the
sales company or national distributor in the EU/EEA country
where the appliance was originally marketed, the repair service
will be provided on the local terms and conditions prevailing in
the country of initial sale in the EU/EEA.
Some product models require adjustment or adaptation for

be difficult to satisfy local voltage requirements and safety or

purchaser investigates these local technical and safety factors
before using the appliance in another EU/EEA country.
This guarantee shall not cover the cost of any adjustments or
adaptations to meet local voltage requirements and safety or
other technical standards. The sales company or national
distributor may be in a position to make the necessary
adjustments or adaptations to certain product models at the
cost of the purchaser. However, for technical reasons it is not
possible to adjust or adapt all product models to comply with
local voltage requirements and safety or other technical
