OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the toasting surfaces using a wet cloth; in spite of that, we recommend that the first two pairs of waffles should not be eaten.

Food preparation procedure:

Plug the appliance into a socket. Make sure that the mains voltage conforms to the voltage of the appliance. Both the “Power On” indicator lamp and “Heat On” indicator lamp will be on.
Close the top cover of the waffle maker (during its warming-up, you can prepare your food).
When the green “Heat On” indicator lamp goes off,the waffle maker is ready.
Open the top cover of the waffle maker and put waffles on the lower part of the waffle maker.
Your food will be ready to be served in approximately 4 minutes or longer as per your taste.

NOTE:

Do not close the waffle maker by force. A cloud of steam may rise from in between the toasting surfaces during the toasting process.
During the toasting process, the waffle maker must be closed using the safety closure . Keep in mind that the “Heat On” indicator lamp will go on and off as the thermostat keeps the waffle maker at proper temperature.
Open the waffle maker and remove the waffles using a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use a metal knife as it might damage the non-adhesive coating.
Close the top cover in order keep the surfaces hot for further toasting.
During the toasting process, you can prepare your food.
After finishing the toasting, unplug the appliance.

The manufacturer (or importer) is responsible for ensuring the product complies with the requirements of applicable legal regulations as well as those of the relevant technical standards. Moreover, they are responsible for ensuring the product has the properties the manufacturer described in documents related to the goods or those reasonably expected by the customer with regard to the nature of the goods or based on advertising produced by the manufacturer, and further they are responsible for ensuring the product is fit for the purpose proposed by the manufacturer or that a product of the same type is normally used for.

The quality warranty term is 24 months from product takeover by the customer.

The warranty does not apply to wear and tear caused by regular use. The customer shall not be entitled to any warranty claims if, prior to taking the product over, they knew the product contained a defect or if the defect is attributable to the customer.

The warranty specifi cally does not apply:

to malfunctions caused due to mechanical, heat or chemical damage, short circuit, over voltage or incorrect installation,

A complaint against a product defect must be fi led as soon as identifi ed, yet no later than before the end ofthe warranty term.

The customer must fi le a product complaint with the dealer from which they have purchased the product, or with any authorised service centre, a list of which is included in the product package, or available at www.my- concept.com.

While fi ling a product complaint, the product must be duly cleaned and securely packed so as to prevent any damage during its transport to an authorised service centre, where relevant, unless the product is delivered in person.

The customer must submit proof of having concluded a purchase contract for the product by producing the receipt.

While fi ling their complaint, the customer must indicate the noted defect and identify the preferred complaint application method.

Complaints processing

As long as the noted defect may be removed, the user has the right to have the defect duly removed free of charge on a timely basis.

Where such a procedure is not reasonable with regard to the nature of the defect, the user may require to be supplied a new defect-free product (replacement), or, where the defect applies to a part of the product only, replacement of the part concerned.
However, if replacement of the product or any part thereof is not proportionate with regard to the nature of the defect, especially if the defect can be removed without undue delay, the customer has the right to have the defect removed free of charge.

If the noted defect is not removable, or if the customer becomes entitled to replacement of the product or a part thereof, yet the replacement is not possible, for example due to the product having been sold out, the customer has the right to return the product (withdrawal from the contract).

The customer shall have the right to a new product (replacement) or to replacement of a part of the product even if the defect can be removed, provided they cannot properly use the product due to repeated occurrence of the defect or due to a high number of such defects. In such a case, the customer also has the right to return the product (by withdrawing from the contract).

If the product is not returned (the customer does not withdraw from the contract), or if the customer does not apply the right to a new defect-free product (replacement), to replacement of a part thereof or to repair of the product, they may request a reasonable discount. The customer also has a right to a reasonable discount if a new defect-free product cannot be supplied to them, or if a product part cannot be replaced or the product repaired unless the situation is remedied within a reasonable time limit, or if remedying the situation would create major discomfort on the part of the customer.

The seller, authorised service centre or a staff member authorised by them must decide about each complaint immediately or within three business days in complicated cases. This term does not include a reasonable period of time, depending on the type of product concerned,

required for the defect to be assessed by an expert.
A complaint, including defect removal, must be dealt with without any undue delay, yet no later than within 30 calendar days of the complaint fi ling date, unless the seller and the customer agree on a later deadline.

On returning the product (withdrawing from the contract) the customer must return any accessories and documents supplied along with the product.

The customer does not have the right to keep the defective parts and components of the product replaced as part of a repair of the product.

This shall be without prejudice to any other rights the customer may have in relation to the purchase of the product.
