Barnstead|Thermolyne Corporation 

warrants that if a product manufactured by

Barnstead|Thermolyne

 and sold by it within the continental United States or Canada

proves to be defective in material or construction, it will provide you, without charge, for a

period of ninety (90) days, the labor, and a period of two (2) years, the parts, necessary to

remedy any such defect. Outside the continental United States and Canada, the warranty

provides, for two (2) years, the parts necessary to remedy any such defect. The warranty

period shall commence either six (6) months following the date the product is sold by

Barnstead|Thermolyne

 or on the date it is purchased by the original retail consumer,

whichever date occurs first.

Use only HARVEY VAPO-STERIL solution in this sterilizer. DO NOT dilute, alter or

otherwise change VAPO-STERIL solution in any way. Do not use water in the

CHEMICLAVE sterilizer. Only VAPO-STERIL solution is proven an effective sterilant with

this sterilizer. Use of other solutions may cause mechanical damage to components of your

CHEMICLAVE sterilizer and may result in unsterile loads. Use of such solutions will void the

warranty.

All warranty inspections and repairs must be performed by and parts obtained from an

authorized 

Barnstead|Thermolyne

 dealer or 

Barnstead|Thermolyne 

(at its own

discretion). Heating elements, however, because of their susceptibility to overheating and

contamination, must be returned to our factory, and if, upon inspection, it is concluded that

failure is not due to excessive high temperature or contamination, warranty replacement will

be provided by 

Barnstead|Thermolyne

. The name of the authorized

Barnstead|Thermolyne

 dealer nearest you may be obtained by calling or writing to:

Barnstead|Thermolyne’s

 sole obligation with respect to its product shall be to repair or

(at its own discretion) replace the product. Under no circumstances shall it be liable for

incidental or consequential damage.
