EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
NOTICE: This warranty is void if installation or service is performed by someone
other than an authorized installer or service agency, or if installation is not
in conformance with the installation and operating instructions contained
in this owner’s manual or local and/or national fire and building regula-
tions. A listing of local authorized installers, service agencies and gas sup-
pliers can be obtained from the National Fireplace Institute at http://www.
nficertified.org/.
This warranty does not cover the following:
1) Repair or replacement of parts that are subject to normal wear and tear
during the warranty period or to parts that may require replacement in
connection with normal maintenance. These parts include paint, gas-
kets, burn plates, ceramic insulation blankets, skamol baffles and panels,
firebricks, fire grates, or glass (Ceramic glass is warranted against thermal
breakage only).
2) Damage due to incorrect installations not in conformance with the installa-
tion instructions contained in this owner’s manual or local and/or national
fire and building regulations.
3) Damage, including damage to enamel surfaces, caused by improper opera-
tion, over-firing, and/or misuse. Improper operation, such as burning the
stove with the ash door open, can damage the stove. Over-firing occurs
when any part of the stove glows red. Over-firing can also be identified by
warped plates, rust-colored cast iron, paint pigment that has turned dusty
white, or bubbling, cracking and discoloration of the enamel finish. Misuse
includes, without limitation, use that is not in conformance with the oper-
ating instructions contained in this owner’s manual.
4) Damage to enamel finish including chipping, mechanical or chemi-
cal abrasion, crazing, staining, or rust caused by high humidity or
salt air environments.
5) Damage from or repair of rust. Use of a stove-top steamer can cause
rust.
6) Damage due to service performed by an installer or service agency,
unless otherwise agreed to in writing by JØTUL.
7) Damage caused by unauthorized modification, use or repair.
8) Costs incurred by travel time and/or loss of service.
9) Labor or other costs associated with the repair of components
beyond the warranty period.
10) Damage incurred while the Jøtul or Scan Stove or Fireplace is in
transit.
IN NO EVENT SHALL JØTUL, ITS PARENT COMPANY, SHAREHOLDERS,
AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES BE LI-
ABLE OR RESPONSIBLE TO YOU FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES, INJURY TO PERSON OR
PROPERTY, OR DAMAGES TO A STRUCTURE OR ITS CONTENTS, ARISING
UNDER ANY THEORY OF LAW WHATSOEVER. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE, ARE LIMITED
IN DURATION TO THE LENGTH OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY. EXCEPT
AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, JØTUL MAKES NO ORAL, WRITTEN
OR OTHER WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO JØTUL OR SCAN STOVES OR
FIREPLACES.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, or limitations on the length of implied war-
ranties. Therefore, the above exclusions or limitations may not apply
to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have
other rights, which vary from state to state.
JØTUL reserves the right to discontinue, modify or change the mate-
rials used to produce the Jøtul or Scan Stove or Fireplace Insert. JØTUL
shall have the right to replace any defective component with substitute
components determined by JØTUL to be of substantially equal quality
and price.
The dollar value of JØTUL’s liability for breach of this warranty shall be
limited exclusively to the cost of furnishing a replacement component.
JØTUL may at its discretion discharge all obligations by refunding the
wholesale price of any defective part or appliance. JØTUL shall in no
event be liable for any special, indirect or consequential damage of any
nature which is in excess of the original wholesale purchase price of
the product. JØTUL shall not in any event be liable for the cost of labor
expended by others in connection with any defective component. Any
costs or expenses beyond those expressly assumed by JØTUL under the
terms of this warranty shall be the sole responsibility of the owner(s) of
the Jøtul Stove or Fireplace.
No dealer, distributor, or other person is authorized to modify,
augment, or extend this limited warranty on behalf of JØTUL. NO
MODIFICATION OR CHANGE TO THIS WARRANTY WILL BE EFFECTIVE UN-
LESS IT IS MADE IN A WRITTEN DOCUMENT MANUALLY SIGNED BY AN
AUTHORIZED OFFICER OF JØTUL.
An authorized installer may have been provided with certain
information related particularly to the Jøtul or Scan Stove or Fireplace;
however, no authorized installer or other person who may service the
appliance is an agent of JØTUL. No inference should be made that
JØTUL has tested, certified, or otherwise pronounced any person as
qualified to install or service the appliance. JØTUL shall not be liable or
otherwise responsible for any error or omission by a person installing or
servicing a Jøtul or Scan Stove or Fireplace Insert.
If you believe your Jøtul or Scan Stove or Fireplace Insert is defective,
you should contact your nearest authorized Jøtul dealer, who will pro-
cess a warranty claim. IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR WARRANTY COVER-
AGE, JØTUL MUST RECEIVE NOTICE OF A POSSIBLE DEFECT WITHIN SIXTY
(60) DAYS OF THE DATE THE DEFECT IS FIRST DISCOVERED, OR REASON-
ABLY COULD HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED.
