TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF GUARANTEE

The SOLARcomfort Pump Group is guaranteed for 2 years.

Please read these terms and conditions which are in addition to any terms and
conditions  detailed  in  this  book  or  any  registration  card  supplied  with  your
appliance.

SOLARcomfort  solar  thermal  systems  must  only  be  installed  and
commissioned by Ariston trained and approved installers.  Failure to comply
with this requirement will invalidate the warranty.

A charge will be made to the owner of the appliance if:-

1.

The reason for any service visit is as a direct result of a failure to install the

appliance in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

2.

Your installer does not complete the necessary commissioning process

and procedure as detailed in the Installation and Operating Instruction manuals.

3.

Your appliance is not serviced on or before the 12 month anniversary of

installation.

4.

Our  service  engineer  calls  as  requested  and  the  failure  is  a  non-

manufacturing defect.

Failure to pay an invoice for any such occurrence 

will

 be assumed by MTS that

you accept that your appliance has not been installed correctly and understand
that any manufacturer’s guarantee has been withdrawn.

On the 12 month anniversary of the appliance installation, you must have it serviced
to continue any guarantee offered into the following year.  Failure to do so 

will

invalidate your guarantee and should an MTS engineer be required to attend and
no proof of service documentation is made available, then MTS 

will

 charge.

If  you  have  a  problem  with  commissioning  on  installation,  please  contact  our
Technical Department on 0870 241 8180.
