Please take a moment to fill out your warranty regis-
tration sheet. Returning this registration validates
your warranty. This information will not be sold or
released outside Bel Canto. Your comments and sug-
gestions help us continue to improve upon our prod-
ucts and services.
Bel Canto products are automatically covered by a
90 day factory warranty. With no additional cost,
you have the option to extend your warranty by com-
pleting and returning the enclosed warranty registra-
tion form within 30 days of purchase, along with a
copy of the original sales receipt from an authorized
Bel Canto dealer. This will ensure prompt warranty
coverage. This warranty is only valid to the original
owner who has returned the warranty sheet along
with a copy of the original sales receipt, covering all
internal parts and workmanship. This warranty is
void if damage is due to abuse, neglect, or unautho-
rized modification. The cost associated with the
return of this unit is the sole responsibility of the
owner.
Bel Canto products are uniquely identified with a
serial number on the back panel of each unit. This
number is required to validate your warranty. Please
reference the serial number if service is required. If
you have any questions, comments, or if we can be
of service, please contact us Monday through Friday
9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. CT/USA.
