EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS

NOTICE: This warranty is void if installation or service is performed
by someone other than an authorized installer or service agency,
or if installation is not in conformance with the installation and
operating instructions contained in this owner's manual or local
and/or national fire and building regulations. A listing of local
authorized installers, service agencies and gas suppliers can be
obtained from the National Fireplace Institute at http://www.
nficertified.org/.
This warranty does not cover the following:
1. Repair or replacement of parts that are subject to normal
wear and tear during the warranty period or to parts that may
require replacement in connection with normal maintenance.
These parts include paint, gaskets, burn plates, ceramic
insulation blankets, skamol baffles and panels, firebricks, fire
grates, or glass (Ceramic glass is warranted against thermal
breakage only).
2. Damage due to incorrect installations not in conformance
with the installation instructions contained in this owner's
manual or local and/or national fire and building regulations.
3. Damage, including damage to enamel surfaces, caused by
improper operation, over-firing, and/or misuse. Improper
operation, such as burning the stove with the ash door open,

the stove glows red. Over-firing can also be identified by
warped plates, rust-colored cast iron, paint pigment that has
turned dusty white, or bubbling, cracking and discoloration
of the enamel finish. Misuse includes, without limitation, use
that is not in conformance with the operating instructions
contained in this owner's manual.

chemical abrasion, crazing, staining, or rust caused by high
humidity or salt air environments.

steamer can cause rust.
