IKEA GUARANTEE
How long is the IKEA guarantee valid?
This guarantee is valid for five years from
the original date of purchase of your

is required as proof of purchase. If service
work is carried out under guarantee, this
will not extend the guarantee period for the
appliance.
Who will execute the service?

service through its own service operations or
authorized service partner network.
What does this guarantee cover?
The guarantee covers faults of the

the guarantee period, the costs to remedy
the fault e.g. repairs, parts, labour and travel
will be covered, provided that the appliance
is accessible for repair without special
expenditure. On these conditions the EU

local regulations are applicable. Replaced
parts become the property of IKEA.

examine the product and decide, at its
sole discretion, if it is covered under this
