This document sets out the terms and conditions of the product

warranties for Electrolux Appliances. It is an important document.

Please keep it with your proof of purchase documents in a safe place

for future reference should you require service for your Appliance.

1. In this warranty
(a) ‘acceptable quality’ as referred to in clause 10 of this warranty has

the same meaning referred to in the ACL;

(b) ‘ACL’ means Trade Practices Amendment (Australian Consumer

Law) Act (No.2) 2010;

accompanied by this document;

(d) ‘ASC’ means Electrolux’ authorised serviced centres;
(e) ‘Electrolux’ means Electrolux Home Products Pty Ltd of 163

O’Riordan Street, Mascot, NSW 2020, ABN 51 004 762 341 in

respect of Appliances purchased in Australia and Electrolux (NZ)

Limited of 3-5 Niall Burgess Road, Mount Wellington, in respect

of Appliances purchased in New Zealand;

(f) ‘major failure’ as referred to in clause 10 of this warranty has the

same meaning referred to in the ACL and includes a situation when

an Appliance cannot be repaired or it is uneconomic for Electrolux,

at its discretion, to repair an Appliance during the Warranty Period;

(g) ‘Warranty Period’ means:
(i) where the Appliance is used for personal, domestic or household

use (i.e. normal single family use) as set out in the instruction

manual, the Appliance is warranted against manufacturing

defects in Australia and New Zealand for 24 months and for the

Appliance’s compressor, condenser, evaporator and drier, an

additional 36 months parts only warranty applies, following the

date of original purchase of the Appliance;

(ii) where the Appliance is used for commercial purposes (including

being used to directly assist a business or where the Appliance is

used in a multi-family communal or share type environment), the

Appliance will then be warranted against manufacturing defects

in Australia for 3 months and in New Zealand for 3 months,

following the date of original purchase of the Appliance.

(h) ‘you’ means the purchaser of the Appliance not having purchased

the Appliance for re-sale, and ‘your’ has a corresponding meaning.

2. This warranty only applies to Appliances purchased and used in Australia

or New Zealand and is in addition to (and does not exclude, restrict, or

modify in any way) any non-excludable statutory warranties in Australia

or New Zealand.

3. During the Warranty Period Electrolux or its ASC will, at no extra charge

if your Appliance is readily accessible for service, without special

equipment and subject to these terms and conditions, repair or replace

any parts which it considers to be defective. Electrolux or its ASC may

use remanufactured parts to repair your Appliance. You agree that

any replaced Appliances or parts become the property of Electrolux.

This warranty does not apply to light globes, batteries, filters or similar

perishable parts.

4. Parts and Appliances not supplied by Electrolux are not covered by

this warranty.

5. You will bear the cost of transportation, travel and delivery of the

Appliance to and from Electrolux or its ASC. If you reside outside of the

service area, you will bear the cost of:

(a) travel of an authorised representative;
(b) transportation and delivery of the Appliance to and from Electrolux

or its ASC,

In all instances, unless the Appliance is transported by Electrolux or an

Electrolux authorised representative, the Appliance is transported at the

owner’s cost and risk while in transit to and from Electrolux or its ASC.

6. Proof of purchase is required before you can make a claim under

this warranty.

7. You may not make a claim under this warranty unless the defect claimed

is due to faulty or defective parts or workmanship. Electrolux is not liable

in the following situations (which are not exhaustive):

(a) the Appliance is damaged by:

(i) accident

(ii) misuse or abuse, including failure to properly maintain or service

(iii) normal wear and tear

(iv) power surges, electrical storm damage or incorrect power supply

(v) incomplete or improper installation

(vi) incorrect, improper or inappropriate operation

(vii) insect or vermin infestation

(viii) failure to comply with any additional instructions supplied with

the Appliance;

(b) the Appliance is modified without authority from Electrolux in writing;
(c) the Appliance’s serial number or warranty seal has been removed

or defaced;

(d) the Appliance was serviced or repaired by anyone other than

Electrolux, an authorised repairer or ASC.

8. This warranty, the contract to which it relates and the relationship

between you and Electrolux are governed by the law applicable where

the Appliance was purchased. Where the Appliance was purchased in

New Zealand for business purposes the Consumer Guarantee Act does

not apply.

9. To the extent permitted by law, Electrolux excludes all warranties and

liabilities (other than as contained in this document) including liability for

any loss or damage whether direct or indirect arising from your purchase,

use or non use of the Appliance.

10. For Appliances and services provided by Electrolux in Australia,

the Appliances come with a guarantee by Electrolux that cannot be

excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a

replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any

other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to

have the Appliance repaired or replaced if the Appliance fails to be of

acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

The benefits to you given by this warranty are in addition to your other

rights and remedies under a law in relation to the Appliances or services

to which the warranty relates.

11. At all times during the Warranty Period, Electrolux shall, at its discretion,

determine whether repair, replacement or refund will apply if an

Appliance has a valid warranty claim applicable to it.

12. For Appliances and services provided by Electrolux in New Zealand,

the Appliances come with a guarantee by Electrolux pursuant to the

provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act, the Sale of Goods Act and

the Fair Trading Act.

13. To enquire about claiming under this warranty, please follow these steps:
