We recommend having the installation performed by a RIKA-certified technician.
These guarantee conditions only apply for the European mainland. For all other countries, the separate conditions of the
importer in the respective country apply. In cases of doubt, or in the case of missing or incorrect translations, the German
version is always the sole valid version.
In the interest of ensuring damage limitation in good time, the guarantee claim should be sent in writing to the RIKA specialist
or contract dealer.
In this event, the following documents must be presented:
• Written reason for complaint
