TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF wARRANTy
1. Warranty
In purchasing this OUTDOORCHEF product from an authorised retailer, you have obtained not only the product warranty but also a manufacturer‘s
warranty from DKB Household Switzerland AG („DKB“) according to the present conditions, for a period of up to 3 years.
The warranty exclusively covers the rectification of defects that are demonstrably attributable to faults in material and/or manufacture, subject to the
designated use.
2. Procedure
Check the product for defects and function immediately after receiving it. If, contrary to expectations, the purchased product has a defect then please
comply with the following procedure (bring-in warranty):
• Within 30 days of the defect being discovered, contact your retailer*, providing information about the product / product part, purchase
receipt, serial number and article number**
• Describe the situation with reference to the product / product part you are complaining about, or a photo
• The free warranty shall come into force once the defect has been checked by the retailer or DKB (transport and shipping costs will only be
paid to the first private buyer)
3. Scope of warranty
DKB‘s manufacturer‘s warranty starts from the date of purchase, and applies to the first private buyer. The warranty can only be claimed subject to
presentation of the original receipt.
The warranty may be fulfilled at DKB‘s discretion by repair, exchange of defective parts, renewal of the product or price reduction, if the functions of
the product are unaffected. There is no right of withdrawal from the purchase contract due to warranty cases. There is no right to receive a replacement
product during the repair.
Undertaking warranty services does not mean that the warranty period is extended or restarted. Exchanged parts become the property of DKB.
The warranty period does start again if the product is renewed.
The warranty periods are:
• 3 years on the enamelled kettle (bottom part and lid) against corrosion perforation
• 3 years on the enamelled grilling rack against corrosion perforation or burn-through
• 3 years on all stainless steel parts against corrosion perforation or burn-through
• 2 years on all remaining manufacturing/material defects
