COMPONENT WARRANTY LIMITATATIONS
PORCELAIN ENAMELFINISHED PARTS: CFM offers no warranty on chipping of enamel surfaces. Inspect all products prior to accepting them for any damage to the enamel. 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 finish to flake off. Color lot variations with parts and/or accessories can occur and are not covered by warranty.
GLASS: Glass is not warranted for breakage due to misuse or accident. Glass is not covered for discoloration or stains due to environmental issues, or improper cleaning and maintenance.
PLATED PARTS AND ACCESSORIES: Brass, nickel, and gold parts should be cleaned with Lemon oil only. Commercial cleaners cannot be used. Mortar mix and masonry cleaners corrode the brass finish. The CFM will not be responsible for, nor will it warrant any brass parts which are damaged by external chemicals or down draft conditions.
ACCESSORIES: Unless otherwise noted, CFM supplied accessories are covered for a period of one year.
