Saeco products are designed and manufactured to the highest standards and deliver high-quality performance, ease of use and ease of installation.

In the unlikely event of a failure of the product, Saeco will arrange for your Saeco product to be serviced, free-of-charge, when you informed us of the defect during the warranty period, provided that the product was used in accordance with the user manual (e.g. in the intended environment; not for professional use).

The warranty period is 24 months, except where stated otherwise within the user manual, warranty leaflet or www.philips.com/warranty.
