Warranty
6.1 Conditions of warranty
We grant a warranty of 24 months from the
date of purchase for the appliance distributed
by us.
Within this period we will either repair or re-
place the appliance or accessory (damages to
accessories do not automatically cause a re-
placement of the complete appliance) all de-
fects due to manufacturing or materials at no
cost. Damages due to inappropriate use (oper-
ation on wrong voltage or type of current, con-
necting to unsuitable power supplies, break-
age, etc.) are exempt from warranty, as are
normal wear and minor defects that only negli-
gibly influence the appliance's serviceability.
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 pur-
chase 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 con-
stitute a claim for a new warranty!
Solution
Insert the plug into a mains socket and switch on the appliance

sure carries current.
