Exclusions & Limitations

1.This warranty is transferable; however, proof of original retail purchase is required.

2.This warranty does not cover misuse of the stove. Misuse includes overfiring which will result if the stove is used in such a manner as to cause one or more of the plates to glow red. Overfiring can be identified later by warped plates and areas where the paint pigment has burned off. Overfiring in enamel fireplaces is identified by bubbling, cracking, chipping and discoloration of the porcelain enamel finish. CFM Specialty Home Products offers no warranty on chipping of enamel surfaces. Inspect your woodburning stove prior to accepting it for any damage to the enamel.

3.This warranty does not cover misuse of the stove as described in the Owner’s Guide, nor does it cover an stove which has been modified unless authorized by a CFM Specialty Home Products representative in writing. This warranty does not cover damage to the stove caused by burning salt saturated wood, chemically treated wood, or any fuel not recommended in the Owner’s Guide.

4.This warranty does not cover a stove repaired by someone other than a Vermont Castings Authorized Dealer.

5.Damage to the unit while in transit is not covered by this warranty but is subject to a claim against the common carrier. Contact Vermont Castings Authorized Dealer from whom you purchased your stove or CFM Specialty Home Products if the purchase was direct. (Do not operate the stove as this may negate the ability to process the claim with the carrier.)

6.Claims are not valid where the installation does not conform to local building and fire codes or, in their absence, to the recommenda- tions in our Owner’s Guide.

7.The salt air environment of coastal areas, or a high-humidity environment, can be corrosive to the porcelain enamel finish. These conditions can cause rusting of the cast iron beneath the porcelain enamel finish, which will cause the porcelain enamel finish to flake off. This warranty does not cover damage caused by a salt air or high- humidity environment.

8.CFM Specialty Home Products shall have no obligation to enhance or update any unit once manufactured.

IN NO EVENT SHALL CFM SPECIALTY HOME PRODUCTS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS, ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY. THIS WARRANTY SUPERCEDES ALL OTHER ORAL OR WRITTEN WARRANTIES.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitations of

incidential and consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific rights and you may have other rights which vary from state to state.

How to Obtain Service

If a defect is noted within the warranty period, the customer should contact a Vermont Castings Authorized Dealer or CFM Specialty Home Products if the purchase was direct with the following information:

1.Name, address, and telephone number of the purchaser.

2.Date of purchase.

3.Serial number from the label on the back.

4.Nature of the defect or damage.

5.Any relevant information or circumstances, e.g., installation, mode of operation when defect was noted.
