CAUTION: During the cleaning cycle of self-cleaning appliances, we recommend that you remove the doors and drawers
of all cabinets adjacent to and above the oven. The cleaning cycle generates heat that could affect the finish and surface
of the cabinets. We recommend a Delamination Shield (Item Code: DS) be placed between freestanding base ovens and adjacent
base cabinet during cabinet installation.
Wellborn Cabinet, Inc., reserves the right to continuous product refinement. Specification changes in design and materials may be
introduced, as conditions require, without obligation to make changes to products previously manufactured. If a claim is filed after
a product becomes obsolete, Wellborn Cabinet, Inc., reserves the right to honor the warranty by replacing the discontinued product
with the current product that is closest to being equivalent to the original product. This replacement product may not perfectly
match the original. On all product enhancements the old style will no longer be available as of the effective date of the change.
Discontinued door styles and finishes will be available for replacement for 6 months from discontinue date; however, lead times
will vary from standard lead time program. Production will be run once per quarter. The warranty on any replacement product will
extend for the balance of the original warranty.
Painted face frames and other painted product will eventually have visible cracking around the joint areas and color will vary
from thermofoil and laminate doors. These variations are considered the natural characteristics of the material in relation to their
environment and are not covered under these warranties. All thermofoil and laminate cabinets have painted face frames. Many
finishes have paint applied to the face frames, doors, drawer fronts and end panels. Wellborn Cabinet, Inc., makes no warranty on
self-applied stains or finishes. Wellborn Cabinet, Inc., does not warranty any unfinished wood hoods once they are altered. Due to
the wide shaker stiles, Bristol will have a stronger tendency to warp.
Any wall cabinets greater than 36" wide are not recommended as stand alone cabinets without additional reinforcements above
and beyond Wellborn's installation manual guidelines. We also recommend that any stand alone cabinet, regardless of width, be
reinforced with angle brackets to help support the weight that is added to cabinet interior from accessories. Wellborn Cabinet,
Inc., will not warranty any cabinets that fall as a result of standing alone. It is the dealer's responsibility to design cabinetry that is
not single displayed on a wall. Dealer will be obligated to pay the cost of damages if dealer designs kitchen with single cabinets.
Wellborn Cabinet Inc., meets or exceeds KCMA weight requirements.
Oak and Poplar are open grain woods and therefore the stains and glazes used in specialty finishes will hang up in all open grain
areas of the door, which will appear as "ticking" and "bleed out". These features are acceptable with specialty finishes on oak and
poplar and are not considered defects. Therefore, these features are not covered under these warranties.
Painted Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) doors display a color variance from the painted maple face frames used in the same
finish due to the MDF substrate material. This is not considered a defect and is not covered under warranty.
Character maple and character cherry have very different characteristics than standard hard maple, cherry and other woods
giving it an overall distinctive rustic appearance. Because these wood types are unique, it is important to understand the qualities
of character maple and character cherry.
Character cherry has very different characteristics than standard cherry and other woods giving it an overall distinctive rustic
appearance. Its characteristics are brought out by randomly occurring, variously sized knots, worm holes and tracks, gum pockets
and streaks, mineral stains and streaks, burls, blemishes, sapwood, and non-structural splits. The amount of character marks will
vary from each piece of wood making each kitchen unique. Character cherry will include wood color differences that can range
from pink to dark brown with a flowing grain pattern. While knots in character cherry are more rare than in character maple, it is
possible to find open and closed knots with some knots possibly located in the center panel of door and drawer panels. Cluster
knots could also be a feature.
Character maple has very different characteristics than standard hard maple and other woods giving it an overall distinctive rustic
appearance. Its characteristics are brought out by randomly occurring, variously sized knots, pin holes, worm holes and tracks, gum
and bark pockets, sugar tracks, heartwood and mineral streaks. The amount of character marks will vary from each piece of wood
making each kitchen unique. Character maple will include wood color differences caused by variations found in minerals in the
soil. It will be common to find open knots and bark pockets. Some knots may have small holes through the center panel. Character
features include knots that may be located in the center panel of the door and drawer panels.
Open knots located in the center panel of the door and drawer panels are acceptable, though they must be structurally sound. An
entire knot can be as large as 2½" in diameter. Visible openings in knots clear through must not exceed ½". Cluster knots could
also be a feature. Some knot locations may affect hardware placement.
Dark stains and paints will hide the majority of character features. Large open knots and some splits, if present, may still be
partially visible. Character features are more noticeable on Natural or lighter toned finishes.
Other parts of the cabinet like door stiles, rails and mouldings, will not include knots, but may show character cherry's and
maple's other natural features. The Bristol and Cortland door styles are the only exception to this due to it's wide shaker stiles
and rails and will have some knots located in the stiles and rails of the door. However, it will be uncommon to find all markings
on any single piece. Door parts are chosen at random with the appearance of each individual door varying widely from a great
amount of character to relatively clear maple/cherry. It could occur that a part will be clear maple/cherry as well. Cabinet
face frames, end panels and open cabinets (such as bookcases and other components) will not include knots, however they
may appear with grain characteristics of character and/or clear maple/cherry. For character maple and cherry end panels, use
Matching Wall and Base End Panels. The natural characteristics of character maple and character cherry, including variations in
grain patterns and color, are not considered reasons for product replacement and are not covered under the Warranty Program.
We recommend viewing a door sample prior to ordering.
The Antique Technique is created by using various techniques which include burnishing, rub through, small dents and worm
holes. Each piece will vary in the amount of sanding and will also vary within the piece itself. Due to the random placement
of these effects, every door will be unique and no two doors will be identical. The Antique Technique is available on doors,
drawer fronts and specified mouldings. All other components such as face frames and accessories, such as bookcases, will
receive the standard base finish. For your convenience, Antique, or the substitution thereof, will be noted for each item in the
specification catalog. This technique's effects will vary within individual doors and throughout the entire kitchen. These features
are acceptable on Antique Technique and are not considered defects. Therefore, these features are not covered under warranty.
