WARRANTY 

COVERAGE - This Limited Warrranty is issued by Alpine Gas Fireplaces, a division of Alpine Supply Company ("Alpine"), and extends only to the original 

consumer purchaser. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO 

STATE. 
LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY 
 The Alpine Gas Fireplace is warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship (does not include installation materials and installation labor) for 

a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase when installed and used in accordance with the recommendations in the installation and operation in-

structions for the fireplace. The determination as to the existence of a defect and whether or not that defect is material shall be made in accordance with 

accepted industry standards. Defective parts will be repaired or replaced at Alpine's option. Parts which are returned to Alpine and found defective on in-

spection will be repaired, or replaced with a new part, without charge to the purchaser as long as the part is still under warranty. All shipping charges will be 

paid by  the purchaser, and all new or repaired parts shipped to the purchaser shall be shipped freight collect (F.O.B. Lehi, Utah). Service calls ordered by 

the customer, repairs, or parts  which do not qualify for warranty shall be charged to the customer at then current rates for labor, parts and transportation.  
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY 
In addition to the one year warranty described above, the firebox of the Alpine Gas Fireplace is warranted for life against through wall perforation when 

installed and used in strict compliance with the recommendations in the installation and operation instructions for the fireplace, provided that the blower 

has been installed and been kept operable and working whenever the fireplace has been in use, and there has been an approved and tested vent cap in 

place on the chimney to prevent moisture from coming down the flue and causing the rusting of the firebox or other components. For purposes of this life-

time warranty, burnout means only the eroding of the interior metal floor, top, walls or heat exchanger in the top of the appliance, solely by fire action, to the 

point that the erosion has resulted in one or more holes from inside of the firebox into the surrounding hot air chambers of the appliance. This lifetime war-

ranty does not cover warping or rusting of the firebox. The damaged part or parts of the firebox will be repaired or replaced at Alpine's option. Parts which 

are returned to Alpine and are found damaged by burnout on inspection will be repaired, or replaced with a new part, without charge to the purchaser as 

long as the unit is still under warranty. All shipping charges shall be paid by the purchaser, and all new or repaired parts shipped to the customer shall be 

shipped freight collect (F.O.B. Lehi, Utah). If the damaged part or parts under warranty cannot reasonably be removed and shipped to Alpine for replacement 

or repair, Alpine will provide a serviceman to correct the defect at the location where the  gas fireplace is installed without charge to the purchaser for labor 

or materials, provided that the purchaser shall pay a reasonable charge for the transportation of the serviceman and needed parts and equipment from the 

nearest Alpine service center to the location of the appliance and return. 
LIMITATIONS
 - These one year and limited lifetime warranties are in lieu of all other express warranties. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IM-

PLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE SPECIFICALLY LIMITED TO A TERM OF ONE (1) 

YEAR FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE (SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE 

LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU). Alpine neither assumes nor authorizes any other person to assume for it, any additional liability in connection with 

the sale, installation, replacement, or repair of the appliance.  
EXCLUSIONS
  Alpine shall be held free and harmless from liability damage to property or injury to persons related to the installation or operation, proper or 

improper, of the appliance. THESE ONE YEAR AND  LIMITED LIFETIME  WARRANTIES DO NOT COVER, NOR DOES ALPINE ASSUME, RESPONSIBILITY 

FOR INCIDENTAL, SECONDARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ( SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR 

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.) 
 
These one year and  limited lifetime warranties do not cover:  
1.  Damage or malfunction resulting from accident, negligence, abuse, alteration, unauthorized service, damage during transportation, shipping or damage 

caused by external fire, floods, acts of God, or any other casualty. 
2.  Damage or malfunction resulting from failure to follow the installation or operating instructions provided with the fireplace unit.  
3.  Damages or defects in any parts, equipment, accessories, materials, or items not manufactured, sold, or supplied by Alpine, or any damage resulting 

from the use of such items, which are used on or in connection with the fireplace unit. 
4.  Damage to or defects in any glass windows or internal or external finishes,  or any damage resulting there from, except as an examination by the pur-

chaser may reveal at the time of delivery of the appliance and is reported immediately to Alpine. 
5. Any expansion and contraction noises commonly found in heating equipment. 
6. Damage or malfunction caused by trees or bushes located in the proximity of the vent or vent termination.  
  
PROCEDURE TO OBTAIN PERFORMANCE UNDER WARRANTY  It is recommended that you first contact your local dealer as the dealer may be able to 

assist you with warranty or other service work. In any case, the following procedure must be followed for any and all warranty work; 
If damage occurs or a defect is discovered which you believe is covered by this limited warranty, you must promptly notify Alpine of the damage or defect in

serial  number of the appliance and the date purchased. Failure to give timely notice to Alpine of any material damage or defect will result in that damage or 

defect being excluded from coverage.  
Upon receipt Alpine will, within 60 days, repair, replace or service the parts or unit as covered by this Limited Warranty. Exceptions to this may be delays 

that are caused by acts of God, labor problems or material shortages.
