The legal warranty is provided by applicable law and protects the buyer according to the relevant legal provisions.
The manufacturer's warranty is a voluntary service offered by the manufacturer. Its duration, scope, and conditions may vary depending on the brand, product, and the manufacturer's warranty policy.
The RestoHotelStore customer service team will be happy to help you determine whether your case falls under the legal warranty or the manufacturer's warranty and assist you throughout the claim process.
Yes. RestoHotelStore supplies genuine original spare parts for all equipment and products purchased from our online store.

- Model number
