exclusions & limitations
1. This warranty is non-transferable.
. 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 pig-
ments has burned off. Overfiring in enamel stoves is
identified by bubbling, cracking, chipping and discolor-
ation of the porcelain enamel finish. MHSC offers no
warranty on chipping of enamel surfaces. Inspect your
woodburning stove prior to accepting it for any dam-
age to the enamel.
3. This warranty does not cover misuse of the stove as
described in the Owners Guide, nor does it cover a
stove which has been modified unless authorized by
a MHSC 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 Owners 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 Autho-
rized Dealer from whom you purchased your stove or
MHSC 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 ab-
sence, to the recommendations in our Owners Guide.
7. The salt air environment of coastal areas, or a high-
humidity environment, can be corrosive to the porce-
lain 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. MHSC shall have no obligation to enhance or update
any unit once manufactured.
