What does this guarantee cover?
The guarantee covers faults of the appli-
ance, which have been caused by faulty
construction or material faults from the date
of purchase from IKEA. This guarantee ap-
plies 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 trav-
el will be covered, provided that the appli-
ance is accessible for repair without special
expenditure. On these conditions the EU
guidelines (Nr. 99/44/EG) and the respec-
tive local regulations are applicable. Re-
placed parts become the property of IKEA.
What will IKEA do to correct the problem?

ine the product and decide, at its sole dis-
cretion, if it is covered under this guarantee.

or its authorized service partner through its
own service operations, will then, at its sole
discretion, either repair the defective prod-
uct or replace it with the same or a compa-
rable product.
