Forno Bravo, LLC Ovens and Fireplaces

THE WARRANTY

Forno Bravo, LLC, a producer and importer 

of quality ovens and fireplaces, warrants 

its refractory ovens and fireplaces (herein 

referred to as Product) to be free from defects 

in materials and workmanship on the major 

structural Product component (dome, firebox), 

for a period of five (5) years from the date 

of shipment. Warranty may be invalidated 

if Product is not correctly installed, cured, 

operated, and maintained according to all 

supplied instructions.

Forno Bravo, LLC warrants its Products’ 

support components (floor, venting system, 

gas burner components, factory-installed 

finishes, stand, door, and accessories) 

to be free from defects in materials and 

workmanship for a period of one (1) year from 

the date of shipment.

QUALIFICATIONS TO THE WARRANTY

The complete Product Warranty outlined 

above does not apply under the following 

circumstances:

(1) The Product was not installed in accordance 

with Forno Bravo installation instructions and 

local building codes.

(2) This Warranty does not apply to any hairline 

cracking caused by over-firing or the failure to 

follow a proper curing schedule. See Product 

Manual for a detailed explanation of this curing 

schedule.

(3) The Product has been subjected to 

non-standard use, including but not limited 

to, tossing or throwing firewood into the 

oven with force, addition of non-approved 

appliances or burners, burning fuels with 

abnormal burning characteristics, including: 

driftwood, coal, plywood, and wood products 

using a binder that may burn at excessive 

temperatures, causing damage to the Product.

(4) The Product has been subjected to icing or 

wet-mopping the oven while it is still heated 

(which can cause damage/cracking to the oven 

floor.) Improper chemicals or liquids have been 

used to clean or sanitize the interior of the oven.

(5) This Warranty does not cover damage 

caused by storing any materials on the top of 

a fully assembled oven or on the dome of an 

unfinished kit oven.

(6) This Warranty does not apply to normal 

wear and tear of the Product, or on parts that  

 

would be worn or replaced under normal 

conditions, including:

(a) Normal, minor cracking due to expansion 

and contraction stress relief in the refractory 

materials of either the dome or floor tiles.

(b) Discoloration of exterior finishes in areas 

repeatedly exposed to smoke, as this is 

considered normal wear on wood fired pizza 

ovens and fireplaces.

(7) This Warranty does not cover damage to, or 

failure of the Product, resulting from natural or 

other catastrophes, such as flood, fire, wind, or 

storm.

(8) In the event that the UL Listing Plate (if 

applicable) has been removed, altered, or 

obliterated.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

It is expressly agreed and understood 

that Forno Bravo’s sole obligation, and 

Purchaser’s exclusive remedy under this 

Warranty, and under any other Warranty, 

expressed or implied otherwise, shall be 

limited to replacement, repair, or refund up 

to the original purchase price of the Product, 

excluding shipping costs, as specified above. 

Such liability shall not include, and Purchaser 

or other third parties, specifically renounces 

any rights to recover special, incidental, 

consequential, or other damages of any kind 

whatsoever, including, but not limited to, 

injuries to persons or damage to property, 

loss of profits or anticipated profits, damage 

to business reputation or goodwill, all costs 

incurred receiving, unloading, moving at your 

location, and installing Forno Bravo Products, 

or loss of use of the Product.

In no event shall Forno Bravo be responsible 

for any incidental or consequential damages 

caused by defects in its Products, whether 

such damage occurs, or is discovered before or 

after replacement or repair, and whether or not 

such damage is caused by Forno Bravo. The 

duration of any Warranty with respect to this 

Product is limited to legitimate claims received 

within the duration of the foregoing Warranty.

Warranty of replacement parts or Product shall 

only be from the original purchase date of 

Product, not the date of repair or replacement 

covered under this Warranty. Parts to be 

replaced under the Warranty will be repaired or 

replaced with new or functionally sound parts 

at Forno Bravo’s option.

Note: Some states do not allow the exclusion 

or limitation of incidental or consequential 

damages, or the duration of an implied 

warranty, so the above exclusion or limitations 

may not apply to you.

INVESTIGATION OF CLAIMS AGAINST 

WARRANTY

Forno Bravo reserves the right to investigate 

any and all claims against this Warranty and to 

decide upon method of settlement.

Before any Product is returned, Forno Bravo, 

or its authorized representative, must provide 

Purchaser with written return authorization 

and instructions for preparation of the 

shipment. Failure to properly package Product 

for return may result in Purchaser being billed 

by Forno Bravo. Forno Bravo reserves the right 

to bill Purchaser for return freight if Product 

was found to be damaged through negligence 

or Warranty was voided, as outlined in this 

Warranty. Reference your original Terms of Sale 

Agreement for additional details.

THIS WARRANTY

no authority to make any Warranties, nor 

to authorize any remedies in addition to, or
