warranty and Guarantee
The warranty is granted in accordance with the statutory provisions of the Republic of Austria, as well as of the EU.
1. Prerequisite for the provision of warranty services by Austria Email AG (hereinafter referred to as AE AG) shall be the presentation of the paid invoice for the purchase of the device for which the warranty service is claimed, whereby the identity of the device with regard to the model and the manufacturing number must be evident from the invoice and must be documented by
the claimant. The General Terms and Conditions, Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery of AE AG shall apply exclusively.
2. To the extent required by the law, respectively in the Operator’s Manual and Installation Instructions, the assembly, erection,
connection and commissioning of the unit for which the claim is presented must have been carried out by a licensed elec-
trician or installation rm, duly observing all applicable rules. The tank (without outer shell and plastic outer shell) must be
protected from sunshine to avoid discolouring of the PU foam and potential warping of plastic components.
3. The room in which the device is operated must be free of frost. The unit must be mounted in a location that may reasonably
be expected, i.e. it must be possible to access and replace the unit without difculty for the purpose of necessary maintenance, repairs and possible replacement. The costs for any necessary changes to the structural conditions (e.g. doors and
passages too narrow) are not governed by the guarantee and warranty declaration and therefore shall be rejected on the
part of AE AG. If the water boiler is set up and operated in uncommon locations (e.g. attics, living rooms with water-sensitive
oors, store rooms, etc.), the possibility of water leakage must be taken into account and provisions made for collecting and
discharging the water leakage in order to prevent secondary damage within the meaning of product liability.
4. The following is not covered by the warranty and guarantee:
inappropriate transport, normal wear and tear, intentional or negligent damage, use of force of any kind or description, me-
chanical damage or damage caused by frost or also by exceeding the operating pressure stated on the rating plate, even
if only once, use of connection ttings that do not comply with the standard, use of defective tank connection ttings and
unsuitable and defective service ttings. Breaking of glass and plastic components, possible colour differences, damage due
to improper use, in particular non-observance of the mounting and operating instructions (Operating and Mounting Instruc-
tions), damage by external inuence, connecting to incorrect voltage, corrosion damage as a consequence of aggressive
waters (water not suitable for drinking) in accordance with the national regulations (e.g. Austrian ordinance on drinking water,
TWV – Fed. Law Gazette II No. 304/2001), deviations between the actual drinking water temperature at the tank tting and
the specied hot water temperature of up to 10°K (hysteresis of the controller and possible cooling due to pipelines), Insufcient water conductivity (min. 150 µs/cm), operational wear of the magnesium anode (wearing part), natural formation of
boiler scale, lack of water, re, ood, lightning, overvoltage, power failure or other types of force majeure. Use of non-original
and company-external components such as e.g. heating elements, reactive anode, thermostat, thermometer, ribbed tube
heat exchanger, etc., ingress of foreign particles or electrochemical inuences (e.g. mixed installations), failure to observe the
design documents, unpunctual and undocumented renewal of the installed protective anode, no or improper cleaning and
operation, as well as any deviations from the standard that reduce the value or functionality of the device only slightly. Fundamental compliance with all regulations in ÖNORM B 2531, DIN 1988 (EN 806), DIN 1717, VDI 2035 or the corresponding
national regulations and laws must be ensured.
5. In the case of an authorised complaint, this must be reported to the next available customer service location of AE AG. The
same reserves the right to decide whether a defect component shall be replaced or repaired or whether a defect device shall
be replaced by an equivalent fault-free device. Furthermore, AE AG explicitly reserves the right to request that the rejected
device be returned by the buyer.
6. Repairs under warranty must be performed exclusively by persons authorised to do so by AE AG. Replaced parts shall remain
the property of AE AG. If a repair of the hot water heater should be required in connection with necessary service work, the
Manufacturer shall invoice these as repair and prorated material costs.
7. Any intervention by third parties without our express instruction, even if performed by a licensed electrician, shall have the
effect of voiding the warranty. Costs for repairs carried out by third parties shall be replaced only if AE AG has previously been
requested to remove the defect and if AE AG shall have failed to satisfy its obligation to replace the defective item or repair
the defect or if it shall have failed to do so within a reasonable period of time.
8. Neither the performance of works under warranty or guarantee, nor the performance of service and maintenance works shall
renew or extend the term of warranty.
9. Transport damage shall be investigated and possibly accepted only if it is reported to AE AG in writing on the next following
workday after delivery at the latest.
