Warranty Service Information

          To obtain warranty service during the warranty period, the purchaser should return the fan with the sales receipt to the original place of 
purchase.  The authorized Minka-Aire® dealer, at its sole discretion, will either repair or replace the fan after verifying the legitimacy of the warranty 
claim.  Replacement is subject to availability of the same model.  If the model is unavailable it will be replaced by one of equal value.  This is a 
limited warranty; the original purchaser or user is responsible for the cost of removal and reinstallation of repaired or replacement product.
