8 - WARRANTY
The warranty covers the HTi70 Heat pump and the HTi70 Pilot
components for a period of two (2) years, starting from the date
the appliance was activated, if the warranty form was sent back
to the manufacturer. In the absence of this document, the date of
manufacture will be used to determine the start date of the warranty.
If the appliance was installed by an AUER-approved technical center,
you will be entitled to an additional year on your warranty. A
comprehensive warranty will apply for the rst year (parts, labour and
on-site support) followed by two more years of coverage for parts only.
The appliance is guaranteed against all manufacturing defects, provided
that it was installed according to the instructions provided in this manual
and in compliance with all current rules and regulations in the country of
installation. All electrical connections should comply with the C15-100
standard.
Under no circumstances does a defective part warrant the replacement of
the whole appliance.
The warranty only applies to parts which we (AUER) identify as having
been defective at manufacture. If necessary, the part or product should
be returned to the manufacturer, but only with prior agreement from
our technical department. Labour, transport, and packaging costs are the
responsibility of the user. Repairs on a device will not result in compensation.
The warranty on replacement parts ends at the same time as the warranty
of the appliance.
The warranty only applies to the appliance and its components and excludes
any part or installation external to the appliance: electrical parts, hydraulic
components, etc...
The warranty will not apply in the absence of, insucient, or improper,
maintenance of the appliance.
It is essential to carry out regular annual maintenance on the appliances and
on the installation to ensure sustained use and durability.This maintenance
should be carried out by your installer, or by an AUER-approved technical
center. In the absence of regular maintenance the warranty is rendered
null and void.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit must be undertaken by a qualied
professional with a category 1 certicate of aptitude. It is forbidden to
release gas from the refrigerant circuit into the atmosphere, and it is
obligatory to recover the refrigerant before undertaking any work on the
circuit.
The HTi70 Heat pump uses R290 refrigerant uid. Given the ammable
nature of the uid, any work on the refrigerant circuit must be done with
appropriate materials and conforming to all regulations in eect.
If an appliance is presumed to be the cause of any damage, it must not be
moved or tampered with before an expert assessment has been carried out.
