Mendota Division of Johnson Gas Appliance Company, 520 E Avenue N.W. Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52405, extends this Extended Lifetime Protection and 
Limited Warranty to the original purchaser of a Mendota Gas Fireplace Insert, Serial Number, which is limited and used under normal home conditions. 
 

STANDARD WARRANTY: 

 
JOHNSON GAS APPLIANCE CO., MENDOTA DIVISION, WARRANTS THAT YOUR NEW MENDOTA GAS FIREPLACE INSERT IS FREE FROM 
MANUFACTURING AND MATERIAL DEFECTS FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF INSTALLATION, SUBJECT TO THE 
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS: 
 

EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY: 

 
THE HEAT EXCHANGER, THE BURNER TUBE,  AND THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER OF THE MENDOTA GAS FIREPLACE INSERT ARE 
WARRANTED FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER, SUBJECT TO PROOF OF PURCHASE AND THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS 
AND LIMITATIONS: 
 
1) 

This new Mendota Fireplace Insert must be installed and 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 Service person.  

 
This limited warranty does not cover the cost of service calls, 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 conse-
quential damages or expenses sustained in connection with the products, including damages to property, except as provided by law. 
 
2) 

This warranty is non-transferable and is made to the original retail purchaser only and provided that the purchase was made through an authorized 
Mendota  dealer. 

 
Mendota is not responsible for any damage to or malfunction of the Insert unless caused by a defect in material or workmanship from normal home use.  
Damage caused by abuse, improper installation or operation, installation by unqualified personnel or breach of the conditions of this limited warranty will 
excuse Mendota from performance of any part of the limited warranty.   This warranty does not cover glass or log breakage.  Logs and embers are warranted 
against "burn out".  
 
Mendota has the right to investigate and inspect the exact original fireplace and entire installation without any alteration 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 discoloration is normal and is not a defect covered by this limited warranty.  Major warping of parts can be caused 
by over-firing of your Mendota Fireplace Insert.  Over-firing above rated nameplate specifications is contrary to the manufacturer's instructions and will void 
this warranty. 
 
This warranty may not be extended by our representatives 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. 
 
3) 

Mendota may at its discretion, fully discharge all obligations of this warranty by refunding the wholesale price of the defective part(s). 

 
4) 

All other warranties - expressed or implied - with respect to the product, its components and accessories, or any obligation/liabilities on the part 

 

of the company are hereby expressly excluded.  Products made by other manufacturers, sold with the Fireplace or thereafter, are not covered by 

 

this limited warranty..  The use of unauthorized components will make this warranty null and void. 

 
This warranty shall be effective only if the original purchaser of the Mendota appliance is registered with Mendota Division within thirty (30) days of the 
date of purchase.  This warranty with its conditions and limitations shall be the only procedure for obtaining any rights against the manufacturer and express-
es the sole obligation and responsibilities of the manufacturer which are offered to the original purchaser and accepted upon purchase of the appliance. 
 
Mendota Division, reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice, in design, material, specifications, prices and the right to discontinue styles 
and products. 
 
Some states do not allow the exclusions of limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the 
above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.  This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state 
to state.
