Hotpoint Service Cover
Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your Money Back
Hotpoint gives you a unique ‘Satisfaction Guaranteed’ promise – valid for ninety days after you have purchased your Hotpoint product. If there is a technical problem with your Hotpoint appliance, just call Hotpoint Service (see back page). If necessary we will arrange for an engineer to call. If the technical problem is not resolved under this Guarantee, Hotpoint will replace your appliance or, if you prefer, give you your money back. Your statutory rights are not affected, and the Guarantee is additional and subject to the terms of Hotpoint’s Five Year Parts Guarantee.
Hotpoint’s Free Five Year Guarantee
From the moment your appliance is delivered Hotpoint guarantees it for FIVE YEARS.
•In the Five Years all replacement parts are FREE provided that they are fitted by our own Service Engineer. During the first year our Engineer’s time and labour is also free.
•Our guarantee covers loss of food in our refrigeration and freezer products up to £250 during the first year, subject to verification by one of our engineers.
•After the first year we will charge for our Engineer’s time and labour. We do, however, operate a range of Service Plans (see opposite) which, for an annual payment, enables you to cover any repair costs which may be necessary.
•All our service repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in respect of our labour and any parts fitted.
•The appliance must be used in the United Kingdom, and must not be tampered with or taken apart by anyone other than our own Service Engineers.
•You may, however, buy parts which can be safely fitted without specialist knowledge or equipment. The correct fitting of such parts, provided they are genuine Hotpoint spares, will not affect your Guarantee. Parts are available from our Hotpoint Spares Centres (see back page).
•Our guarantee does not cover the cost of any repair, or loss of food in refrigeration products, due to power failure, accidents or misuse. Nor does it cover the cost of any visits to advise you on the use of your appliance. Please read thoroughly the instruction book supplied with this appliance.
•If at any time during the Guarantee period we are unable to repair your appliance, we will refund any repair costs paid to us in the previous twelve months. We will also offer you a new appliance at a reduced charge instead of a repair.
•Our Guarantee is in addition to and does not affect your legal rights.
•Should you need independent advice on your consumer rights, help is available from your Consumer Advice Centre, Law Centre, Trading Standards Department and Citizens Advice Bureau.
•All Hotpoint servicing is carried out by our own Service Organisation located throughout the United Kingdom and Eire. We will be happy to deal with any problems which you may have.
Hotpoint’s Extended Warranties
Whether you have just one or a number of Hotpoint appliances in your kitchen, Hotpoint has a range of Service Plans to give you complete peace of mind. They enable you to extend your one year labour guarantee so that you can have repairs completed FREE during the membership period.
Service Cover
We offer a number of payment methods; cheque, credit card or you can spread the cost and pay by direct debit (full details can be obtained on Free phone 0800 716356). This covers you for all repairs during the period of cover, which can be from 1 to 4 years. Service Cover also includes loss of food, up to the value of £250, in refrigeration appliances. There is also an option of Service Cover with Maintenance at an additional cost. This includes an annual Electrical and Safety check and replacement of any parts as necessary.
Kitchen Cover
An annual payment covers you for all repairs for all your Hotpoint appliances which are less than ten years old. It also covers the cost of loss of food up to £250 in our refrigeration and freezer products. There is also the option of Kitchen Cover with Maintenance at an additional cost. Any additional Hotpoint appliances purchased after you have joined Hotpoint Kitchen Cover will automatically be included during the annual period of cover without further charge.
Appliance Registration
To ensure that you have the opportunity to benefit from any of the above Service Schemes and other offers you should complete and return immediately the Appliance Registration Form/Questionnaire supplied with this appliance. Full details and costs of our Service Schemes, together with an application form, will be sent to you at the end of the first year of the guarantee.
Annual Safety/Maintenance Checks
Hotpoint strongly recommends that all its appliances are regularly checked for electrical and mechanical safety, whether or not they are covered by a Service Plan. Worn door gaskets or hoses may cause a leak on an appliance, which could become dangerous if neglected.
Proof of Purchase
For future reference please attach your purchase receipt to this booklet and keep it in a safe place.
Spares and Accessories
Spares and accessories can be ordered from your local Hotpoint Spares Centre (see back page), using the order form enclosed.
NOTE: Our Engineers will use every effort to avoid damage to floor coverings and adjacent units when carrying out repairs/service work, but in locations where the Engineer advises you that it will be impossible to move appliances without risk of damage, he will only proceed with your approval that no liability is accepted.
