IKEA GUARANTEE
How long is the IKEA guarantee valid?
This guarantee is valid for five (5) years
from the original date of purchase of your
appliance at IKEA. The original sales receipt
is required as proof of purchase. If service
work is carried out under guarantee, this
will not extend the guarantee period for the
appliance.
Who will execute the service?
IKEA service provider will provide the service
through its own service operations or
authorized service partner network.
What does this guarantee cover?
The guarantee covers faults of the
appliance, which have been caused by faulty
construction or material faults from the

applies to domestic use only. The exceptions
are specified under the headline "What is
not covered under this guarantee?" Within
the guarantee period, the costs to remedy
the fault e.g. repairs, parts, labour and
travel will be covered, provided that the
appliance is accessible for repair without
special expenditure. On these conditions the
respective local regulations are applicable.
Replaced parts become the property of IKEA.
What will IKEA do to correct the problem?
IKEA appointed Service Provider will examine
the product and decide, at its sole discretion,
if it is covered under this guarantee. If

discretion, either repair the defective product
or replace it with the same or a comparable
