NOTE:

If you cannot solve the problem following these instructions, contact our service hotline or the Royal Customer Service (Zpage 40, „International Service“).

4.2Disposal

The filters used are made of environment-friendly materials and can de disposed of with your domestic trash. When the appliance has reached the end of its usefulness, especially if dysfunctions recur, disable the useless appliance by pulling the mains plug out of the socket and cutting off the power cord. Dispose of the appliance in compliance with the environmental protection laws of your country. Electrical waste may not be disposed of together with domestic waste. Consult your local authorities or your dealer for advice on recycling.

4.3Conditions of warranty

4.4In case of a warranty claim

We grant the legally required 24 months warranty from the date of purchase for the appliance distributed by us.

Within this period we will either repair or replace the appliance or accessory (damages to accessories do not automatically cause a replacement of the complete appliance) all defects due to manufacturing or materials at no cost. The warranty does not cover damage due to improper use (operating on the wrong power type/voltage, connecting to unsuitable power sources, breakage, etc.), normal wear and defects that only insignificantly affect the value or the serviceability of the appliance. Intrusions by unauthorised parties and the use of spare parts not supplied by Royal Appliance invalidate the warranty. Consumable parts are not included in the warranty and must be paid for! 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 or sales slip is included with the sent-in appliance. Warranty work does not extend the warranty period nor does it constitute a claim for a new warranty!

Send us the appliance without dust filter bag and a short description of the fault in printed letters. Head your accompanying letter with the notice "warranty claim". Send it to the address on the back page (Zpage 40, „International Service“) of this operating manual, including the warranty card or a copy of the purchase slip.
