LIMITED LIFETIME Warranty

   For Dutchwest Non-Catalytic Wood Stove

Limited Lifetime Warranty

MHSC warrants that all refractory brick and material 

used in this product will be warranted against 

deterioration not resulting from physical damage or 

overloading of the woodstove for the lifetime of this 

product. This coverage includes  the components of 

the EverBurn System: “shoe, fountain, and ireback. 

Coverage is provided only to the original purchaser.

Limited 3 Year Warranty

All cast iron parts are warranted for a period of three 

years against breakage, cracking or burn-through.

Limited 1 Year Warranty

The following parts of the woodburning stove are 

warranted to be free of defects in material and work-

manship for a period of one year from the date you 

receive it:  The handles, glass door panels, door 

gasketing and porcelain inish. Any of these items 

found to be defective will be repaired or replaced at 

no charge, upon the return of the part with postage 

prepaid to a Dutchwest Authorized Dealer.
Any parts repaired or replaced during the limited 

warranty period will be warranted under the terms 

of the limited warranty for a period not to exceed the 

remaining term of the original limited warranty or six 

(6) months, whichever is longer.

Exclusions & Limitations

1.  This warranty is non-transferable.

2.  This warranty does not cover misuse of the stove.  

Misuse includes overiring, which will result if the stove 

is used in such a manner as to cause one or more 

of the plates to glow red. Overiring can be identiied 

later by warped plates and areas where the paint pig-

ment has burned off. Overiring in enamel stoves is 

identiied by bubbling, cracking, chipping and discolor-

ation of the porcelain enamel inish. 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 modiied 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 Dutchwest Authorized Dealer.

5.  Damage to the unit while in transit is not covered by 

this warranty but is subject to a claim against the com-

mon carrier. Contact the Dutchwest Authorized 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 ire 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 inish. These conditions can cause rusting 

of the cast iron beneath the porcelain enamel inish, 

which will cause the porcelain enamel inish to lake 

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.  

IN NO EVENT SHALL MHSC BE LIABLE FOR 

INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.  ALL 

IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED 

WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS, 

ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN 

WARRANTY.  THIS WARRANTY SUPERCEDES ALL 

OTHER ORAL OR WRITTEN WARRANTIES.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitations of 

incidental and consequential damages or limitations on 

how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limi-

tations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you 

speciic rights and you may have other rights, which vary 

from state to state.

How to Obtain Service

If a defect is noted within the warranty period, the 

customer should contact a Dutchwest Authorized Dealer 

or MHSC if the purchase was direct with the following 

information:

1.  Name, address, and telephone number of the pur-

chaser

2.  Date of Purchase.
3.  Serial number from the label on the back
4.  Nature of the defect or damage.
5.  Any relevant information or circumstances, e.g., instal-

lation, mode of operation when defect was noted.

A warranty claim will then start in process. MHSC re-

serves the right to withhold inal approval of a warranty 

claim pending a visual inspection of the defect by autho-

rized representatives.
