Panasonic Home and Commercial Products Company (referred to as “the warrantor”)
will repair this product with new or refurbished parts free of charge, in the U.S.A. or
Puerto Rico, for one (1) year from the date of original purchase, in the event of a defect
in materials or workmanship.

This Limited Warranty Excludes both Labor and Parts for the following items: dis-
posable dust bags, filters, belts, light bulbs, agitator brushes and batteries (if supplied).

Carry-in or mail-in service in the U.S.A. can be obtained during the warranty period by
contacting a Panasonic Services Company (PASC) Factory Servicenter listed in the
Servicenter Directory, or by calling toll free, 1-888-350-9590, or by contacting your sell-
ing distributor. Carry-in or mail-in service in Puerto Rico can be obtained during the war-
ranty period by calling the local Panasonic Sales Company telephone number listed in
the Servicenter Directory.

This warranty is extended only to the original purchaser. A purchase receipt or other
proof of date of original purchase will be required before warranty performance is ren-
dered.

This warranty only covers failures due to defects in materials and workmanship which
occur during normal use and does not cover damages which occur in shipment, or fail-
ures which are caused by products not supplied by the warrantor, or failures which
result from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, faulty installa-
tion, improper operation or maintenance, alteration, modification, power line surge,
improper voltage supply, lightning damage, or service by anyone other than a Panasonic
Authorized Servicenter, or damage that is attributable to acts of God.

LIMITS AND EXCLUSIONS:
There are no express warranties except as listed above.
THE WARRANTOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, OR ARISING OUT OF
ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PAR-
TICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIOD SET
FORTH ABOVE.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential dam-
ages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusions or
limitations may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state. If a problem with this product develops during or after the war-
ranty period, you may contact your dealer or Servicenter. If the problem is not handled
to your satisfaction, then write to the Customer Satisfaction Center at the listed address
on the back cover.
