A. When the purchaser finds the appliance to be defective, he should promptly contact the proper sales company or distributorin
the EU/EEA country or Turkey where this guarantee is claimed, as indicated in the “product services guide” or the nearest
authorised dealer together with the guarantee and proof of date of purchase. The purchaser will then be informed whether
i The sales company or national distributor will handle the repair service or
ii The sales company or national distributor will arrange for trans-shipment of the appliance to the EU/EEA country or
Turkey where the appliance was originally marketed, or
iii the purchaser may himself send the appliance to the sales company or national distributor in the EU/EEA country or
Turkey where the appliance was originally marketed
B. If the appliance is a product/model which is normally supplied by the sales company or national distributor in the country where
it is used by the purchaser, then the appliance together with the guarantee and proof of date of purchase, should be returned at
the purchaser’s risk and expense to such sales company or distributor, which will handle the repair service. In some countries,
the affiliated sales company or national distributor will designate dealers or certain service centres to execute the repairs
involved.
C. If the appliance is a product/model which is not normally supplied in the country where used, or if the appliances internal or
external product characteristics are different from those of the equivalent model in the country where used, the sales company
or national distributor may be able to have the guarantee repair service executed by obtaining spare parts from the country
where the appliance was originally marketed, or it may be necessary to have the guarantee repair service executed by the sales
company or national distributor in the country where the appliance was originally marketed. In either case the purchaser must
furnish this guarantee and proof of date of purchase. Any necessary transportation, both of the appliance and any spare parts,
will be at the purchasers risk and expense, and there may be a consequent delay in the repair service.
D. When the consumer sends the appliance for repair to the sales company or national distributor in the country of use of the
appliance, the service will be provided on the same local terms and conditions (including the period of guarantee coverage) as
prevail for the same model appliance in the country of use, and not the country of initial sale in the EU/EEA or Turkey. Where
the consumer sends the appliance for repair to the sales company or national distributor in the EU/EEA or Turkey where the
appliance was originally marketed the repair service will be provided on the local terms and conditions prevailing in the country
of initial sale in the EU/EEA or Turkey.
E. Some product models require adjustment or adaptation for proper performance and safe use in safety or other technical
standards imposed or recommended by applicable regulations. For certain product models the cost of such adjustment or
adaptation may be substantail and it may be difficult to satisfy local voltage requirements and safety or other technical
standards. It is strongly recommended that the purchaser investigate these local technical and safety factors before using the
appliance in another EU/EEA country or Turkey.
F. The 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 standards. Moreover where
adaptations or adjustments are carried out the performance of the appliance may be affected.
G. If in the opinion of the sales company or national distributor in the country where the appliance is used the purchaser has the
necessary adjustments or adaptations to local voltage requirements and technical or safety standards properly made, any
subsequent guarantee repair service will be provided as above indicated, provided the purchaser discloses the nature of the
adjustment or adaptation if relevant to the repair. (It is recommended that the purchaser should not send adapted or adjusted
equipment for repair to the sales company or the national distributor in the country where the appliance was originally marketed
if the repair relates in any way to the adaptation or adjustment)
