DISPOSAL

The packaging of the appliance is made of recyclable materials. Dispose of the packaging in accordance with the environmental protection regulations. Pursuant to Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), the crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the appliance must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its useful life.

The user must therefore take the appliance to an appropriate recycling centre for  electrical and electronic equipment. Alternatively, instead of handling the disposal, the user can hand over the appliance to the retailer when a new, equivalent one is purchased. The user can hand over electronic products measuring less than 25 cm to retailers of electronic products having a sales area of at least 400 m2 free of charge and with no obligation to buy.

Proper waste sorting prior to sending the equipment no longer used for recycling, processing and disposal in a manner that respects the environment contributes towards avoiding negative impacts on the environment and on health and promotes the reuse and/or recycling of the equipment’s material.

SUPPORT AND WARRANTY

The appliance is guaranteed for a period of two years from the date of delivery. The warranty period starts from the date indicated on the receipt/invoice (if clearly legible), unless the purchaser can demonstrate that it was delivered at a later date. In the case of a product defect that existed prior to the delivery date, its repair or replacement is guaranteed without any cost, unless one of the two remedies is disproportionate with respect to the other. The purchaser is required to report the lack of conformity to an authorised Service Centre within two months of the discovery of the defect.
The warranty does not cover all the parts that are defective as a result of the following:

• a. damage from transport or accidental drops,
• b. incorrect installation or inadequate electrical system,
• c. repairs or alterations performed by unauthorised personnel,
• d. insufficient or improper maintenance and cleaning,
• e. products and/or product parts subject to wear and/or consumables, including the reduced operating time of the batteries (if installed) due to usage or age,
• f. non-observance of the operating instructions for the appliance, negligent or careless usage,
• g. cable twisted and/or bent excessively,
• h. cable pulled or torn,
• i. heating panel bent during use, crumpled and/or torn,
• j. incorrect washing (e.g. centrifuge, wringing, with control unit enabled, etc.),
• k. obvious burn marks from external sources (cigarette etc.),
• l. bent back on itself.

The above list is provided as a mere example, and is not complete, as this warranty does not apply to any of the circumstances that cannot be connected to appliance manufacturing defects. The warranty is also excluded in the case of improper use of the appliance and in the case of professional use. The manufacturer declines all liability for any damage that can be caused directly or indirectly to people, property or pets as a result of the failure to observe all the instructions indicated in the “Instructions and warnings booklet” regarding appliance installation, use and maintenance. This does not apply to the seller’s contractual warranty actions.

Service mode
The appliance may only be repaired by an authorised service centre. If under warranty, the defective appliance must be sent to the Service Centre together with proof of purchase that indicates the date of purchase or delivery.
