DECLARATION OF GUARANTEE TERMS
Our appliances are produced with the greatest of care. However, a defect may still occur. Our consumer
services department will repair this upon request, either during or after the guarantee period. The service life of
the appliance will not, however, be reduced as a result.
This declaration of guarantee terms is based on European Union Directive 99/44/EC and the provisions of the
CE Civil Code. The statutory rights that the consumer has under this legislation are not affected by this
declaration of guarantee terms.
This declaration does not affect the vendor’s statutory warranty to the end user. The appliance is guaranteed
within the context of and in adherence with the following terms.
1. In accordance with provisions laid down in paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy free of charge any defect that
occurs within 24 months from the date the appliance is delivered to the first end user.
These guarantee terms do not apply in the event of use for professional or equivalent purposes.
2. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance is returned to the condition it was in before the defect
occurred. Defective parts are replaced or repaired. Parts replaced free of charge become our property.
3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our attention immediately.
4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer providing proof of purchase showing the purchase and/or
delivery.
5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to delicate parts, such as glass, synthetic materials and
rubber, is the result ofles.
6. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor faults that do not affect the value or the overall reliability of the
appliance.
7. The statutory warranty does not apply when defects are caused by:
• a chemical or electrochemical reaction caused by water;
• abnormal environmental conditions in general;
• unsuitable operating conditions;
• contact with harsh substances.
8. The guarantee does not apply to defects due to transport which have occurred outside of our responsibility.
Nor will the guarantee cover those caused by inadequate installation or assembly, lack of maintenance or
failure to the assembly instructions or directions for use.
9. Defects that result from repairs or measures carried out by people who are not qualified or expert or defects
that result from the addition of non-original accessories or spare parts are not covered by the guarantee.
10.Appliances that are easy to transport may be delivered or sent to the consumer services department. Home
repairs are only anticipated for bulky appliances or built-in appliances .
11.If the appliances are built-in, built-under, fixed or suspended in such a way that removing and replacing
them in the place where they are fitted takes more than half an hour, the costs that result therefrom will be
charged for. Connected damage caused by these removal and replacement operations will be the
responsibility of the user.
12.If, during the guarantee period, repairing the same defect repeatedly is not conclusive, or if the repair costs
are considered disproportionate, in agreement with the consumer, the defective appliance may be replaced
with another appliance of the same value.
In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a financial contribution calculated according to the length of
time it has been used.
13.A repair under guarantee does not mean that the normal guarantee period will be extended nor that a new
guarantee period begins.
14.We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs, limited to the same.
15.Except in the event where liability is legally imposed, this declaration of guarantee terms excludes any
compensation for damage outside the appliance for which the consumer wishes to assert his right. In the
event of legally admitted liability, compensation will not exceed the purchase price paid for the appliance.
