Article L441-5 of the French Consumer Code

If the manufacturer has designed its appliance with provision for cases of self-repair and has given adequate safety instructions so that a user can carry out self-repair, the manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage occurring during self-repair insofar as this damage is linked to clumsiness on the part of the user or the latter’s failure to comply with the product’s repair instructions.

Article L441-5

S’il a conçu son appareil en prévoyant les cas d’autoréparation et s’il a donné les consignes de sécurité adéquates pour qu’un utilisateur puisse réaliser une autoréparation, le fabricant ne peut être tenu responsable d’un dommage survenu lors d’une autoréparation dans la mesure où ce dommage est lié à une maladresse de l’utilisateur ou au non-respect par ce dernier des consignes de réparation du produit.
