EU Warranty
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

be difficult to satisfy local voltage requirements and safety or

purchaser investigates these local technical and safety factors
before using the appliance in another EU/EEA country.
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
