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 promptly contact the
proper sales company or national distributor in the EU/EEA country where 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 company or national distributor will handle the repair service: or
(ii) the sales company or national distributor will arrange for trans-shipment of the
appliance to the EU/EEA country where the appliance was originally marketed; or
(iii) the purchaser may himself send the appliance to the sales company or national
distributor in the EU/EEA country where the appliance was originally marketed.
B If the appliance is a product model which is normally supplied by the sales company or
national distributor in the country where it is used by the 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 company or distributor, which will
handle the repair service. In some countries, the affiliated sales company or 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 normally supplied in the country where
used, or if the appliance’s internal or external product characteristics are different from
those of the equivalent model in the country where used, the sales company or national
distributor may be able to have the guarantee repair service executed by obtaining
spare parts from the country where the appliance was originally marketed, or it may be
necessary to have the guarantee repair service 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.
D Where the consumer sends the appliance for repair to the sales company or national
distributor in the country of 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 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.
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 safety or other technical standards imposed or recommended by applicable
regulations. For certain product models, the cost of such adjustment or adaptation may
be substantial and it may be difficult to satisfy local voltage requirements and safety or
other technical standards. It is strongly recommended that the purchaser investigates
these local technical and safety factors before using the appliance in another EU/EEA
country.
F 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 standards. Moreover, where
adaptations or adjustments are carried out the performance of the appliance may be
affected.
G If in the opinion of the sales company or national distributor in the country where the
appliance is used the purchaser has the necessary adjustments or adaptations to local
voltage requirements and technical or safety standards properly made, any subsequent
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 company or national distributor in the country where the appliance
was originally marketed if the repair relates in any way to the adaptation or adjustment).
H Thisguarantee shall only be valid in territories subject to the laws of the European
Union and the EEA.
Please keep this guarantee with your receipt.
