Safety SealsSafety Seals
Look for safety seals on appliances, which indicate the appliances have passed safety tests performed by an independent agency and meet industry standards.

WarrantiesWarranties
• A warranty is a seller’s promise that a product will be free of defects and will perform as specified.
• A full warranty provides for free repair or replacement of a faulty product.
• A limited warranty includes conditions for service, repair, or replacement.
Why should the conditions of a warranty be one of the factors you consider when purchasing an appliance?

Energy LabelingEnergy Labeling
• EnergyGuide labels are required on many major appliances to show an estimate of yearly energy use.
• ENERGY STAR labels may appear on appliances that exceed federal minimum energy standards.

Apply It!Apply It!
A reputable dealer has an off-brand range with no safety seal. It comes with a two-year limited warranty. An unfamiliar store offers a brand-name range with a safety seal and a one-year full warranty at the same price. The EnergyGuide label shows a higher estimated energy use than the first range. Use this safety seal, warranty, and energy labeling
information to decide which range to buy.
