Mendota Division of Johnson Gas Appliance Company, 520 E Avenue N.W. Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52405,
extends this Standard Warranty and Lifetime Warranty to the original purchaser of a Mendota
Fireplace/insert, which is used under normal home conditions.
STANDARD WARRANTY:
JOHNSON GAS APPLIANCE CO., MENDOTA DIVISION, warrants that your new Mendota Fireplace and all
its components are free from manufacturing and material defects for a period of one year from the date
of installation. Subject to proof of purchase and the conditions and limitations outlined, below.
LIFETIME WARRANTY:
The 304SS burner assemblies, heavy gauge full seam welded firebox, heavy gauge welded seam heat
exchanger, HI-TEMP Neoceramic glass, glass frame and outer body of a Mendota Fireplace are
warranted to the original owner for as long as you, as the original owner, own this product; subject to
proof of purchase and the conditions and limitations outlined, below.
1)
This new Mendota Fireplace must be installed & serviced by a competent, authorized service
contractor. It must be installed and operated at all times in accordance with the installation and
operating instructions furnished with the Fireplace. All adjustments to logs, coals or burner must be
made by an authorized Mendota person. Any alteration, willful abuse, accident or misuse of the product
shall nullify this warranty. This warranty does not cover glass or log breakage.
This warranty does not cover the freight or transportation costs, cost of service calls, and the cost of
labor to remove or install parts covered by this limited warranty, freight or other transportation
expenses, which may be incurred in connection with obtaining performances under this limited
warranty. The remedy for damages as the result of any defects in this product which have been
warranted herein is limited to replacement parts and does not include any incidental, indirect or
consequential damages or expenses sustained in connection with the product, including damages to
property, except as provided by law.
2)
This warranty is non-transferable and is made to, you, the original retail purchaser; provided the
purchase was made through an authorized Mendota dealer.
Mendota is not responsible for any damage to or malfunction of the Fireplace unless caused by a defect
in material or workmanship during normal home use. Damage caused by use of contaminated fuels or
improper fuels, abuse, improper installation, improper servicing, and installation by unqualified
personnel or breech of conditions of this limited warranty will excuse Mendota from performance of any
part of this limited warranty. Mendota has the right to investigate and inspect the exact, original
Fireplace and entire installation (without any alterations or tampering) in the event a claim is made to
determine whether the claimed damage or malfunction was caused by abuse, improper installation or
other cause outside this warranty. Mendota is not responsible for any repairs or material purchases that
have not received prior written approval from Mendota.
NOTE: Minor warping of certain parts or fading of paints is normal and is not a defect covered by this
warranty. Major warping of parts can be caused by over-firing of your Mendota Fireplace. Over-firing
above rated nameplate specification is contrary to the manufacturer's instructions and may void this
warranty. Use of Natural Gas directly from a Natural Gas well without purification processing shall be
considered contaminated and improper fuel for purposes of this warranty.
This warranty may not be extended by our representatives or any third party in any manner. The
company neither assumes, nor authorizes any third party to assume, on its behalf, any other liabilities
with respect to the sale of this Mendota product.
