MODEL DSE LIMITED WARRANTY

A.O. Smith Corporation, the warrantor, extends the following LIMITED WARRANTY to the owner of this water heater:

1.THE TANK

If the glass-lined tank in this water heater shall prove upon examination by the warrantor to have leaked due to natural corrosion from potable water therein, during the first THREE years after initial installation, the warrantor will supply a complete new A.O. Smith water heater of equivalent size and current model. Some government agencies are requiring energy efficient standards for water heaters. In the event regulations prohibit sale of a model of equivalent size and construction, A.O. Smith will provide a model which complies with the regulations of your area, in which case the consumer will be charged the difference in price between the like replacement and the energy efficient model required. The warranty on the replacement water heater will be limited to the unexpired term of the original warranty.

2.ALL OTHER PARTS

If within ONE year after initial installation of this water heater, any part or portion shall prove upon examination by the warrantor to be defective in material or workmanship, the warrantor will repair or replace such part or portion at its option.

3.CONDITIONS AND EXCEPTIONS

This warranty shall apply only when the water heater is installed in accordance with local plumbing and building codes, ordinances and regulations, the printed instructions provided with it and good industry practices. In addition, a temperature and pressure relief valve, certified by A.G.A. and approved by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, must have been installed.

a.This warranty shall apply only when the heater is used:

(1)at temperatures not exceeding the maximum setting of its thermostat;

(2)at water pressure not exceeding the working pressure shown on the water heater;

(3)when operated free from the damaging effects of uncontrolled water hammer;

(4)when filled with potable water, free to circulate at all times;

(5)in a non-corrosive and non-contaminated atmosphere;

(6)with factory approved anode(s) installed;

(7)in the United States, its territories or possessions, and Canada.

b.Any accident to the water heater, any misuse, abuse (including freezing) or alteration of it, any operation of it in a modified form, any use of insulation blankets, or any attempt to repair tank leaks will void this warranty.

c.This warranty is void if a device acting as a backflow prevention device (check valves etc) is installed in the cold water supply the heater is connected to, unless an effective method of controlling thermal expansion is also installed at the heater(s) and operational at all times. The relief valve installed on the heater is not an acceptable method.

4.SERVICE AND REPAIR EXPENSES

Under the limited warranty the warrantor will provide only a replacement water heater or part thereof. The owner is responsible for all other costs. Such costs may include but are not limited to:

a.Labor charges for service removal, repair or reinstallation of the water heater or any component part;

b.Shipping, delivery, handling, and administrative charges for forwarding the new heater or replacement part from the nearest distributor and returning the claimed defective heater or part to such distributor.

c.All cost necessary or incidental for any material and/or permits required for installation of the replacement heater or part.

5.LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES

Implied warranties, including the warranty of merchantability imposed on the sale of this heater under state law are limited to (1) year duration for the heater or any of its parts. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
