6.2 Spare parts and accessories

6.3 Disposal
When the appliance has reached the end of its usefulness,
especially if dysfunctions recur, disable it by pulling the mains plug
out of the socket and cutting off the power cord.
6.4 Warranty
We grant a warranty of 24 months from the date of purchase for the
distributed appliance.
Within this warranty period, we will remove all defects free of charge that
are due to material or manufacturing faults, either by repair work or
replacing 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 exempt from warranty, as are normal wear and minor defects that only
negligibly affect the appliance's value or serviceability.
Interventions by unauthorised parties and the use of spare parts not
supplied by Royal Appliance make the warranty null and void. Consumable
parts are not included in the warranty and are therefore at the customer's
expense!
