GB
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 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 warran-
ty 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 provid-
ing proof of purchase showing the purchase and/or deliv-
ery date.
5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to delicate
parts, such as glass (vitreous ceramic), synthetic materi-
als and rubber, is the result of inappropriate use.
6. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor faults that do
not affect the value or the overall reliability of the appli-
ance.
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
respect 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 sus-
pended 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 con-
tribution calculated according to the length of time it
has been used.
13.A repair under guarantee does not mean that the nor-
mal 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 defect.
15.Except in the event where liability is legally imposed,
this declaration of guarantee terms excludes any com-
pensation for damage outside the appliance for which
the consumer wishes to assert his rights. In the event
of legally admitted liability, compensation will not
exceed the purchase price paid for the appliance.
These guarantee terms are only valid for appliances pur-
chased and used in Belgium. For exported appliances,
the user must first make sure that they satisfy the techni-
cal conditions (e.g.: voltage, frequency, installation
instructions, type of gas, etc.) for the country concerned
and that they can withstand the local climatic and environ-
mental conditions. For appliances purchased abroad, the
user must first ensure that they meet the qualifications
required in Belgium. Non-essential or requested adjust-
ments are not covered by the guarantee and are not pos-
sible in all cases.
Our consumer services department is always at your dis-
posal, even after the guarantee period has expired.
