For safety reasons repairs to the appliance should only be carried out by trained specialist staff. The warranty claim becomes void if repairs or interventions have been carried out by persons not authorised by us for that purpose or if our appliances have been fitted with spare, supplementary or accessory parts that were not genuine parts and then resulted in a defect.

Function-relevant genuine spare parts according to the corresponding Ecodesign Order can be obtained from Customer Service for a period of at least 10 years from the date on which your appliance was placed on the market within the European Economic Area.

Note: Under the terms of the manufacturer’s warranty applicable to the location, the use of Customer Service is free of charge. The minimum duration of the warranty (manufacturer’s warranty for private consumers) in the European Economic Area is 2 years according to the terms of warranty applicable to the location. The terms of warranty do not affect other rights or claims held by yourself under local legislation.

Detailed information on the warranty period and terms of warranty in your country is available from our aftersales service, your retailer or on our website.

If you contact Customer Service, you will require the product number (ENr.) and the production number (FD) of your appliance.
The contact details for Customer Service can be found in the enclosed
Customer Service directory or on our website.
