Customer Service
The appliance is covered by a certificate of guarantee which allows you free use of the Hoover Technical Support Service (termed GIAS tel: 08705 400 600), except for the price of the call, for a period of one year from the date of purchase. Remember to send off the guarantee certificate for validation within 10 days of the date of purchase.
You should retain the receipt issued by the retailer when you purchased the machine to show to the call out engineer, should you need to consult one.
If your washing machine shows signs of a defect or is not working properly, before you contact GIAS Service we recommend you carry out the checks detailed within the Trouble shooting section.
If the problem with the machine persists after completing all the recommended checks, please dial the GIAS Service number on the rear cover of this manual.
For the cost of a telephone call, you will be connected directly to GIAS. It is important you tell the GIAS advisor your product’s model number and serial number, which you will find on the rating label (16 characters, beginning with the number 3), found on the front of the washing machine (door area). By doing this, your enquiry will be responded to more efficiently.
