hills, mountains, inadequate vents or ventilation, excessive venting confi gurations, insuffi cient makeup air, or negative air pressures which may or may not 
be caused by mechanical systems such as exhaust fans, furnaces, clothes dryers, etc.
Any damages to the appliance, combustion chamber, heat exchanger, plated trim or other components due to water, weather damage, long periods of 
dampness, condensation, damaging chemicals or cleaners will not be the responsibility of NAPOLEON®.
All parts replaced under the President’s Limited Lifetime Warranty Policy are subject to a single claim.
During the fi rst 10 years NAPOLEON® will replace or repair the defective parts covered by the lifetime warranty at our discretion free of charge.  From 10

The manufacturer may require that defective parts or products be returned or that digital pictures be provided to support the claim.  Returned products are 
to be shipped prepaid to the manufacturer for investigation.  If a product is found to be defective, the manufacturer will repair or replace such defect.
Before shipping your appliance or defective components, your dealer must obtain an authorization number.  Any merchandise shipped without 
authorization will be refused and returned to sender.
Shipping costs are not covered under this warranty.
Additional service fees may apply if you are seeking warranty service from a dealer.
