6.2 If the appliance is defective

If the power cord of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturers, their authorised service representative or a similarly quali-
fied person to avoid danger.

6.3 Disposal

Dispose of the appliance in compliance with the environmental pro-
tection laws of your country.

6.4 Warranty

We offer a warranty of 24 months from the date of purchase for the
appliances we sell.
Within this warranty period, we will correct all defects free of charge that
are due to material or manufacturing faults, either by repair work or replac-
ing the appliance or accessories, at our discretion (damage to accessory
parts does not automatically lead to the entire appliance being replaced).
Damages due to inappropriate use (operation on wrong voltage or type of
current, connecting to unsuitable power supplies, breakage, etc.) are ex-
empt from warranty, as are normal wear and minor defects that only negli-
gibly affect the appliance's value or serviceability.
Interventions by unauthorised parties and the use of spare parts not sup-
plied by Royal Appliance make the warranty null and void. Consumable
parts are not included in the warranty and therefore must be purchased by
the customer!
The warranty is only valid if the date of purchase has been acknowledged
by the dealer's stamp and signature on the warranty card or if a copy of the
invoice is included with the appliance that has been sent in. Warranty work
does not extend the warranty period nor does it constitute a claim for a new
warranty!
