Recycling & Disposal Information

“Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back”

We give you a unique ‘satisfaction guaranteed’ promise - 

valid for 90 days - 

after you have

purchased your Hotpoint appliance. If there is a technical problem simply call Hotpoint Repair

service or visit our web-site at www.theservicecentre.co.uk and where necessary, we will arrange

for an engineer to call. If the technical problem is not resolved under this guarantee,

we will

replace your machine or, if you prefer, give you your money back.

Guarantee

All Hotpoint appliances carry a fully inclusive 12 month parts and labour guarantee as well as
free replacement parts for the first 5 years (except microwaves, selected integrated appliances
and cooker hoods, which have a one year guarantee) provided that they are 
fitted by a Hotpoint engineer.

Guarantee terms and conditions                                                                   

Your guarantee is only applicable in the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland and is
subject to the following provisions that your appliance:

Has been installed and used correctly in accordance with this instruction booklet.
Has been used solely for domestic purposes and is located on domestic premises (ie. not 
for commercial or trade use).
Has been properly connected to a suitable electrical supply voltage as stated on the 
appliance rating plate.
Has not been subject to misuse, accident, modified or repaired by anyone other than one 
of our own service engineers.

As part of Hotpoint’s continued commitment to helping the environment, Hotpoint reserves
the right to use quality recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise
material wastage.
Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully. Old refrigerant and oil must be
disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly manner, using suitably qualified personnel.
To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug and cut mains cable off flush with
the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer
be plugged into a mains socket, and the door cannot be locked shut.
