Limited Five-Year Warranty - Acrylic Shell

For North America Only
Kohler Co. warrants that the acrylic shell of the Devonshire and Portrait whirlpools and/or baths will be free
of defects in material and workmanship during normal residential use for five years from the date the
product is installed. Gloss reduction, scratching, staining or alkaline etching of the acrylic over time due to
use, cleaning practices or water or atmospheric conditions are not manufacturing defects but are indicative of
normal wear and tear. This warranty applies only for Devonshire and Portrait whirlpools and baths installed
in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico.
All other components of the whirlpool, including but not limited to pump/motor, jets, harness, and trim,
other than the acrylic shell carry Kohler's One-Year Limited Warranty.
If the Devonshire or Portrait whirlpool or bath is used commercially or is installed outside of North America,
Kohler Co. warrants the acrylic shell to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year
from the date the product is installed, with all other terms of this warranty applying except duration.
If a defect is found in normal residential use, Kohler Co. will, at its election, repair or replace the acrylic shell
or make appropriate adjustment. Damage caused by accident, misuse, or abuse is not covered by this
warranty. Improper care and cleaning will void the warranty. Proof of purchase (original sales receipt) must
be provided to Kohler with all warranty claims. Kohler Co. is not responsible for labor charges, installation,
or other incidental or consequential costs other than those noted above. In no event shall the liability of
Kohler exceed the purchase price of the whirlpool.
