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 in-

structions contained in this owner’s manual or local and/or national fire 

and building regulations.  A listing of local authorized installers, service 

agencies and gas suppliers 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 replace-

ment in connection with normal maintenance. These parts include 

paint, gaskets, 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 

installation 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 

operation, 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 pig-

ment that has turned dusty white, or bubbling, cracking and discolor-

ation of the enamel finish. Misuse includes, without limitation, use that 

is not in conformance with the operating instructions contained in this 

owner’s manual.

4)  Damage to enamel finish including chipping, mechanical or chemical 

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, un-

less 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, AFFILI-

ATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE OR 

RESPONSIBLE TO YOU FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSE-

QUENTIAL, 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 PARTICU-

LAR 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 warran-

ties.  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 materials 

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 lim-

ited 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 con-

nection 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 UNLESS IT IS MADE IN A 

WRITTEN DOCUMENT MANUALLY SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED OFFICER OF 

JØTUL.

    An authorized installer may have been provided with certain informa-

tion 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, certi-

fied, 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 process a 

warranty claim.  IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE, JØTUL 

MUST RECEIVE NOTICE OF A POSSIBLE DEFECT WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS OF 

THE DATE THE DEFECT IS FIRST DISCOVERED, OR REASONABLY COULD HAVE 

BEEN DISCOVERED.
