EU/EEA-Wide Guarantee: Conditions applicable in any country other than the country
of original purchase.
A When the purchaser finds the appliance to be defective, he should promptlycontact the
proper sales companyor national distributor in the EU/EEA countrywhere this
guarantee is claimed, as indicated in the “Product Service Guide” or the nearest
authorized dealer together with this guarantee and proof of date of purchase.
The purchaser will then be informed whether:
(i) the sales companyor national distributor will handle the repair service: or
(ii) the sales companyor national distributor will arrange for trans-shipment of the
appliance to the EU/EEA countrywhere the appliance was originallymarketed; or
(iii) the purchaser mayhimself send the appliance to the sales companyor national
distributor in the EU/EEA countrywhere the appliance was originallymarketed.
B If the appliance is a product model which is normallysupplied bythe sales companyor
national distributor in the countrywhere it is used bythe purchaser, then the appliance,
together with this guarantee card and proof of date of purchase, should be returned at
the purchaser’s risk and expense to such sales companyor distributor, which will
handle the repair service. In some countries, the affiliated sales companyor national
distributor will designate dealers or certain service centres to execute the repairs
involved.
C If the appliance is a product model which is not normallysupplied in the countrywhere
used, or if the appliance’s internal or external product characteristics are different from
those of the equivalent model in the countrywhere used, the sales companyor national
distributor maybe able to have the guarantee repair service executed byobtaining
spare parts from the countrywhere the appliance was originallymarketed, or it maybe
necessaryto have the guarantee repair service executed the sales companyor national
distributor in the countrywhere the appliance was originallymarketed.
In either case, the purchaser must furnish this guarantee card and proof of date of
purchase. Anynecessarytransportation, both of the appliance and of anyspare parts,
will be at the purchaser’s risk and expense, and there maybe a consequent delayin the
repair service.
D Where the consumer sends the appliance for repair to the sales companyor national
distributor in the countryof use of the appliance, the service will be provided on the
same local terms and conditions (including the period of guarantee coverage) as prevail
for the same model appliance in the countryof use, and not the countryof 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 countrywhere the appliance was originally
marketed, the repair service will be provided on the local terms and conditions
prevailing in the countryof initial sale in the EU/EEA.
E Some product models require adjustment or adaptation for proper performance and
safe use in different EU/EEA countries, in accordance with local voltage requirements
and safetyor other technical standards imposed or recommended byapplicable
regulations. For certain product models, the cost of such adjustment or adaptation may
be substantial and it maybe difficult to satisfylocal voltage requirements and safetyor
other technical standards. It is stronglyrecommended that the purchaser investigates
these local technical and safetyfactors before using the appliance in another EU/EEA
country.
F This guarantee shall not cover the cost of anyadjustments or adaptations to meet local
voltage requirements and safetyor other technical standards. The sales companyor
national distributor maybe in a position to make the necessaryadjustments 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 complywith
local voltage requirements and safetyor other technical standards. Moreover, where
adaptations or adjustments are carried out the performance of the appliance maybe
affected.
G If in the opinion of the sales companyor national distributor in the countrywhere the
appliance is used the purchaser has the necessaryadjustments or adaptations to local
voltage requirements and technical or safetystandards properlymade, anysubsequent
guarantee repair service will be provided as above indicated, provided the purchaser
discloses the nature of the adjustment or adaptation if relevant to the repair. (It is
recommended that the purchaser should not send adapted or adjusted equipment for
repair to the sales companyor national distributor in the countrywhere the appliance
was originallymarketed if the repair relates in anywayto the adaptation or adjustment).
H This guarantee shall onlybe valid in territories subject to the laws of the European
Union and the EEA.
Please keep this guarantee with your receipt.
