 LIMITED WARRANTY
This warranty applies to all products with De’Longhi or Kenwood brand names.

What does the warranty cover?

We warrant each appliance to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Our obligation
under this warranty is limited to repair at our factory or authorized service center of any defective
parts or part thereof, other than parts damaged in transit. In the event of a products replacement
or return, the unit must be returned transportation prepaid. The repaired or new model will be
returned at the company expense.
This warranty shall apply only if the appliance is used in accordance with the factory directions,

How long does the coverage last?

This warranty runs for one year (1) from the purchase date found on your receipt and applies only

What is not covered by the warranty?

The warranty does not cover defects or damage of the appliance, which result from repairs or alte-
rations to the appliance outside our factory or authorized service centers, nor shall it apply to any
appliance, which has been subject to abuse, misuse, negligence or accidents. Also, consequential
and incidental damage resulting from the use of this product or arising out of any breach of con-
tract or breach of this warranty are not recoverable under this warranty. Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damage, so the above limitation may not
apply to you.
