*) Depending on model26 Right to technical changes reserved. Warranty Independently of the warranty obligations of the dealer arising from the sales contract, we offer the following guarantee on the appliance according to the conditions below:

1. The warranty period is 24 months from the day of delivery

to the first end user. This period is limited to 12 months for commercial use or equivalent operational demands. To pursue a claim, proof of purchase must be submitted.

2. Within the warranty period we will rectify all substantial,

verifiable functional inadequacies due to faulty design or material defects by either repairing the defective parts or replacing them at our discretion; the exchanged parts then become our property. The guarantee does not extend to easily broken parts such as glass, plastic, lights. Batteries and rechargeable batteries which are faulty or whose service life has been shortened as a result of normal wear, battery ageing or improper handling, are not covered by the warranty either. Defects must be reported to us immediately upon detection within the warranty period. During the warranty period, the cost of labour and of spare parts needed to rectify the malfunctions will not be billed. In the case of unwarranted claims against our customer service centre, the costs incurred will be charged to the customer. Repair work at the customer’s location or installation site can only be requested in the case of large appliances. Other appliances must be sent to our nearest customer service centre, authorised repair shop, or to the factory.

3. There is no warranty obligation in the case of minor

deviations from product specifications which do not affect the value or usability of the product caused by chemical or electro-chemical effects, or by water, or damage generally resulting from abnormal ambient conditions. In addition, no warranty claims are accepted for damage resulting from normal wear and tear, or from non-observance of the user manual or inappropriate use.

4. Any claim under warranty is also void if persons not

authorised by us undertake any modifications or repairs to the appliance.

5. Warranty services neither extend nor renew the warranty

period for the appliance or any installed replacement parts: the warranty period for installed replacement parts ends along with the warranty period for the entire appliance.

6. Additional or other claims, particularly those for compensation
