4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer pro-
viding proof of purchase showing the purchase
and/or delivery date.
5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to deli-
cate parts, such as glass (vitreous ceramic), synthetic
materials and rubber, is the result of inappropriate
use.
6. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor faults that
do not affect the value or the overall reliability of the
appliance.
7. The statutory warranty does not apply when defects
are caused by:
a chemical or electrochemical reaction caused
by water,
abnormal environmental conditions in general,
unsuitable operating conditions,
contact with harsh substances.
8. The guarantee does not apply to defects due to trans-
port which have occurred outside of our responsibili-
ty. Nor will the guarantee cover those caused by inad-
equate installation or assembly, lack of maintenance
or failure to respect the assembly instructions or
directions for use.
9. Defects that result from repairs or measures carried
out by people who are not qualified or expert or
defects that result from the addition of non-original
accessories or spare parts are not covered by the
guarantee.
10. Appliances that are easy to transport may be delivered
or sent to the consumer services department. Home
repairs are only anticipated for bulky appliances or
built-in appliances.
11. If the appliances are built-in, built-under, fixed or sus-
pended in such a way that removing and replacing
them in the place where they are fitted takes more
than half an hour, the costs that result therefrom will
be charged for. Connected damage caused by these
removal and replacement operations will be the
responsibility of the user.
12. If, during the guarantee period, repairing the same
defect repeatedly is not conclusive, or if the repair
costs are considered disproportionate, in agree-
ment with the consumer, the defective appliance
may be replaced with another appliance of the
same value.
In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a finan-
cial contribution calculated according to the
length of time it has been used.
13. A repair under guarantee does not mean that the
normal guarantee period will be extended nor that
a new guarantee period begins.
14. We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs, lim-
ited to the same defect.
15. Except in the event where liability is legally
imposed, this declaration of guarantee terms
excludes any compensation for damage outside
the appliance for which the consumer wishes to
assert his rights. In the event of legally admitted
liability, compensation will not exceed the pur-
chase price paid for the appliance.
These guarantee terms are only valid for appliances pur-
chased and used in Belgium. For exported appliances,
the user must first make sure that they satisfy the tech-
nical conditions (e.g.: voltage, frequency, installation
instructions, type of gas, etc.) for the country con-
cerned and that they can withstand the local climatic
and environmental conditions. For appliances pur-
chased abroad, the user must first ensure that they
meet the qualifications required in Belgium. Non-essen-
tial or requested adjustments are not covered by the
guarantee and are not possible in all cases.
Our consumer services department is always at your
disposal, even after the guarantee period has expired.
