PROCEDURES FOR WARRANTY SERVICE REQUESTS

Any claim for warranty assistance must be made promptly. Determine if 

the water heater is “in-warranty” (that is, within the applicable warranty 

period) by reviewing a copy of the original sales receipt. The Owner must 

present a copy of the original sales receipt for a warranty service request.

If the water heater is “in-warranty”, contact the retailer from whom the 

water heater was purchased (or the installer) for assistance. Be prepared 

to provide the retailer or installer with a copy of the original receipt, 

complete model and serial numbers, and the date of installation of the 

water heater, in addition to explanation of the water heater problem.

Warranty coverage is subject to validation of “in-warranty” coverage by 

the manufacturer claims department personnel. All alleged defective or 

malfunctioning components must be returned to the manufacturer via 

the local distribution channels where original purchase was made. NOTE: 

Any components or heaters returned to the manufacturer for warranty 

analysis will become the property of the manufacturer and will not be 

returned, even if credit is denied. If all warranty conditions are satisfied, 

the manufacturer will provide replacement components to the retailer.

For questions about the coverage of this warranty, please contact 

the manufacturer at the following address or phone number: Ariston

authorizes anyone to assume for it any other obligation or liability in 

connection with said water heaters.
